Day 6: The Importance of a Cheat Day!

Day 6

The day I have been looking forward to since Monday: cheat day! 

Now, I know that having a cheat day makes it seem like I am not taking this very seriously. However, I think that having this to look forward to every week will allow me to stick to healthy choices!

 I have decided that my cheat day will be on Friday or Saturday every week, dependent upon how well my week has gone. If I had a bad eating day I will not be having a cheat day. Easy as that. I decided on Friday/Saturday because the weekend gives a solid time for reflection of the entire week. I also have weigh-in day on Monday, so I chose not to do Sunday because I don't want to be bloated or weighing extra the next day.

MY CHEAT DAY RULES:

1. You are allowed to eat ONE thing for ONE meal of the day without looking up calories or fat. 

2. It is not an every meal all day thing (like I did the last time I lost weight). Pick one meal.

3. You are allowed to drink on this day (on top of a meal).

As it is Saturday, I am currently waiting for my cheat meal to arrive. My boyfriend has gone out to get me a grilled chicken burger.

Still going strong, even through the cheat. 

All my hard work has paid off this week.

See you on Monday for my first weigh in!
