Cheating




One of the reasons I’ve signed on to the Whole Life Challenge is to become accountable to my mouth.  Generally, my motto is: If I see cake, I eat it.  Obviously, this is not a good thing.

Over the last eight weeks I have eaten like a super star- not Paleo, but a superstar none the less.  What do I mean by “super star” you ask?   I mean, I’ve allowed myself one “cheat day” a week, I’ve stopped drinking (alcohol) completely during the week, and I’ve made a conscious effort to plan out my meals to include the good stuff.  No, this isn’t a Snapple commercial, I literally mean good stuff: eggs, meat, fruit, veggies, avocados, nuts, etc.  

This effort has rewarded me six pounds of weight loss and a feeling of happiness when I look in the mirror.  : )

So, back to cheating – I am breaking up with you.  I only have two weeks left to enjoy a “cheat day”.  As of September 15th (the start of the WLC), my cheat days are over.  

Its kind of like a relationship, if you’re going to cheat, make sure he’s hot.  Today, I enjoyed a lovely slice and a half of Celestino’s Tom Jones.  Mmmm… he was hot!

As I lift my bud light (weekend drinking - give me a break), a toast to cheating – it only lasts so long!

  1. On this note. I went out last night and had a bit too much to drink (damn you T&Ts) and made a poor 1 a.m. decision: street vendor hot dog. Really Jamie... really! So, yesterday was 100% my cheat day.... pizza and a hot dog. And, to top it off... I was too "tired" this morning to hit the gym for 9 a.m. crossfit. I guess my rest day turned into today and tomorrow I'll work it out!!
