Same here. When i've done things very meticulously, results are great. I don't think it's really worth it to put too much thought into it though. I put way too much into it and have fallen into a pit of putting together a diet, reading something new, changing it, reading, changing ...
Results ... i haven't been able to follow and diet plan i've put together for months. Undecided all the time, and discipline seems out the window right now. I'm still lifting, but without a diet of any sorts put together, i'm just spinning my wheels.
I have to get out of this rut. I look at my condition last year and get discouraged that the summer's almost over and i still havn't even gotten a headstart on cutting due to lack of discipline.
