Ok, today is cheat day. What does that mean?
It means I can eat pretty much whatever I want throughout the day. However, if you eat something and it makes you feel like crap...probably shouldn't eat it.
For example, refined sugar and I can be described as an unrequited love. I have a sweet tooth, I LOVE brownies and ice cream, and chocolate and donuts and you get the picture. However, sugar does not love me.
It gifts me with headaches, sluggishness, and a clouded mind. I've noticed since being off sugar, my mind is much clearer, I don't have the headaches and I have long lasting energy rather than spikes.
That said, yes, I might have a little dessert something or other, but for the most part, I'll probably just be eating some white carbs and fruit that I can't have during the normal week.
Over at www.findingmyfitness.com all the rules for cheat day are posted (I just have to find it and link it here for your convenience.) A cheat day hack was mentioned: keep your cheat day gluten free.
I've noticed that some of the symptoms I've stated can also be caused by a gluten intolerance aka Celiac's disease. So, as I go through my cheat days I'm going to try and see if gluten might also be an issue for me.
I seriously hope not cuz I love me some Papa John's pizza every now and again. It's so on the menu today. YAY COUPONS! So is a pineapple and grapefruit juice...
Ah, I almost forgot. Before your "crap laden meals" 60-90 seconds of squats, push-ups or whatever else gets you moving has to be done. Why? Because as I understand it, it basically allows the food you eat to go to your muscles rather than to your fat cells to be stored. Suddenly, I love push-ups and squats before I eat. Then do it again 90 minutes ish later.
Last thing that I can remember, first meal of the day has to be slow carb friendly, after that, have fun!
UG and now onto my numbers. I always wondered why I look like a freaking tube. Here's why:
H-41"
W-41 1/2"
B- 40"
Weight: 158.4lbs
Onward to battle!
