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!
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!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad eating 10 pizza rolls was my cheat day yesterday:)
