Well, I got through it. Thanksgiving, wedding anniversary, birthday. Halloween will be nothing. And from here on in, I'm home free. No more cheating (I hope!)
Friday was supposed to be my only cheat day for my birthday weekend, but it wasn't my actual birthday. I started the day with yogurt and muesli, although this time I decided to add some honey since I was cheating and all! And I didn't even like it! It's true, my tastebuds have changed!
I didn't cheat again until dinnertime at the Wellington. And they weren't big cheats at all, I had a raw salmon appetizer, a salad, and some duck breast w/veggies for dinner. I'm just not absolutely certain there wasn't any sugar in any dressings or sauces. But I did have dessert with a decaf coffee. I shared it with my mom, a lemon mousse with marscapone in a filo tart with raspberry coulis. Not birthday cake but even more delicious! Oh yes, and I had a glass of red wine.
Saturday was not supposed to be a cheat day, and it was tough as we were out in Burlington buying an SUV all day. We went to a restaurant for lunch where the only thing I could order was a salad for $12. By the time we went out for my birthday dinner, I was soooo hungry, and just wanting a nice dinner that I decided to cheat with another glass of wine. My dinner ended up being a Cornish hen, vegetable and potatoes. NO DESSERT! On my birthday! So even though I cheated on 2 days, I don't feel like I cheated badly which I am proud of.
I also managed to fit into 4 pairs of old pants the other day! And I moved 2 notches on my belt! So I am very happy and still pretty excited for this.
Tomorrow will be Day 23 of 56. In 5 more days, we'll be at the half way point!
I know it might be getting tiresome, but stay strong! Don't you want to see big changes at the end of this? If you cheat, try not to cheat too badly. Don't go crazy on the sugar, and you will probably be fine!
Work hard, the nutrition is more important then the exercise however think about how much more you will lose if you exercise lots on top of eating well! Once you get going on exercise, you start getting addicted to it, and it makes you feel bad if you don't, so try to get to that point and then it won't be as much of a struggle to get out there and do it in the first place.
Above all, just have fun and enjoy how good you are feeling!
Have a great day!
