What to do next?

Hello Cathe,
I want to begin a new rotation but have a question. I have lost about 20lbs and want to loose the last ten but it's been difficult due to falling off the healthy-eating wagon. I'm currently doing Gym style series and have seen good results (definition and strength). I am debating between two rotations that you posted: One focusing on cardio, strength, endurance and flexibility (June, 2005) and Cardio Blast which you said was a weight loss rotation (Feb, 2005).

My fear is that if I do the weight loss rotation I'll loose some of the definition and strength I've gain. What do you think? Ideally, I would like to loose weight by buckling down on my eating habits but unfortunatly I'm an emotional eater and am still battling that. I don't want to make excuses though, I will get back on track with my eating, but in the meantime, which rotation would be best?

Thanks Cathe, I really value your opinion -but opinions from others is also very much appreciated.

Not Cathe, but I bet if you do the June 2005 rotation *and* work on your eating, you'll lose those last 10 and still keep your muscles.

What you eat is half the battle, IMO. I worked out with Cathe for most of last year (using cardio, weights, and circuits) and didn't lose a pound until January, when I finally buckled down and really watched what I ate.

I'm an emotional eater, too, but what's really helped is trying to focus on not undoing all the hard work I've done by binging when the going gets tough. Which means, most of the time, finding something else to do with that negative energy besides eat. It's easier said than done, though. Good luck!

Hi GreenEyedLefty,
Thanks for the encouragement. Your absolutely right about not wanting to undo the hard work by binging. I just need to find another outlet- maybe more exercise I was leaning towards the June rotation also. Thanks.
