Your story sounds similar to my previous starts in the past! My problem was that I changed too much too fast, and even though it felt good and I was seeing results, I think I eventually felt overwhelmed and let myself slip- it felt nice to sleep in or veg out instead of going to the gym.
I would recommend resetting yourself- start your sparkplan over and start with SMALL changes. Set small goals for yourself- work out two-three times a week or join the 10 min/day challenge. Try a few new healthy recipes, and aim to cut down your frappe to only three times a week, then cut it down more from there (and order without whipped cream!). Try making your own healthier version at home with coffee, ice, and cocoa powder or nonfat frozen yogurt, coffee, and cocoa powder. Add protein powder and fruit for a healthier smoothie!
The other thing that really works for me since I prep all the food for me and my hubby is to spend an hour or so on Sunday picking out meals for the week, and then I do all my shopping that day and prepare lunch for the early part of the week. Mixing up some scrambled egg whites (with a few yolks) and dividing into muffin tins with different groupings of veggies make a super fast breakfast during the week- grab one or two egg 'muffins', heat in the microwave, and toast a piece of bread! You can make wraps with them as well- add salsa and a little cheese. The possibilities are just about endless!
You can totally get back on track- start slow again and it'll stick this time!
