1) you're inspired to hit the gym the following week, still careful about your diet and watch that you don't eat too much junk and work harder than ever before
or
2) you saw all the other bodies and you feel demotivated because you may not have achieved your goal of looking how you want to. You throw in the towel and eat everything in sight for a week and wonder how you've gained that 10kg in such a short time.

To prevent you from getting to that stage, here are some suggestions I would make to help you get back into your training before you completely blowout of your hard earned shape:

But first let me bring you up to speed with my allergy and health news in the past  months since my article Lisa's Food Makeover on 8 August 10.

I won't bore you too long but you need to know the background to our conclusion.  The past month has been tough for me healthwise.  I've had to deal with an ear infection (I've probably had an infection of some sort once a year for the past 3 years) which I've had to take antibiotics for.  Once off the antibiotics earlier this month Stacey adviced me to take lots of Nutralife Vitamin C, echinacea, probiotics etc to help speed recovery.  But still I was feeling crappy.  No energy in the afternoons and a bit blah all round really.  We then went on to an even more bacteria killing plan by adding more candida (girly issue!) oriented supps to kill bad bacteria and encouraged healthy ones back into my body. Mmm love the Slippery Elm Stacey...not.
