Cheat day????

No not on my husband...Lets get real...!

Rewarding Yourself...-NOT Over indulging yourself! - You don't want to sacrifice 6 days of great work for a FULL day of OVER indulging. You would ruin your hard work for the week and plus feel sluggish and depressed if you did. Read below how to keep it real!

I make a goal each week on 3 different areas on my road to a healthier lifestyle, and if I complete these 3 goals, I get to reward myself with a cheat meal. NOT a cheat day, but a cheat meal.

1st goal- Eating around the store and not the middle- and NO SUGAR- except for fruits. When I go shopping for groceries, I make it a point to stay clear of the middle isles (except for essentials like, soap, deodorant, dog food etc) I try to eat as whole food as I can. So far this week....GRADE = A- ( I did have rice - which is not really processed, and I did buy some Life Water - no fake sugars, no sugars so I think I am O K. ) Can I get a hoorah Captain!!!


2nd goal- At Least 128oz or 1 gallon of H20 each day. For as much as I teach and workout I feel this is a perfect amount for me. This week I think I averaged out 183 oz per day .....GRADE = A+++ Can I get a woot woot!!

3rd goal- Work out 3-5x FOR MYSELF-in addition to teaching.  This week, I ran 5 miles Tuesday, I will run 3-5 miles tomorrow and I pumped Some Weights on Saturday & Monday.....GRADE = A. Oh yeah..Wheres my reward?

So Friday, I will have my cheat meal. I will indulge on 1-2 cocktails Friday evening, and probably eat my favorite - PIZZA- St Louis Style from Waldos Pizza (thin crust- provel cheese..mmmm). But I will NOT eat more than I can handle. I will fill up first on a salad, then savor every little bite I take of that thin crust mouthwatering yummified pizza. Ahhhh can't wait! And maybe if the wallet can handle it...Some frozen yogurt from Orange Leaf for dessert.

My "SUGGESTION" (If you are not competing- or getting ready for your wedding gown 3 sizes smaller than your regular size)- give yourself a goal or two to work off during the week. And if you complete it (GRADE yourself with no bias) and pass, Go ahead and give yourself that cheat meal or even a night out! Don't deprive yourself of it for eternity. And again- don't go to crazy either! Don't mess up your hard work for 2 min of taste bud or tummy pleasure.

Drink your H20- And stay active...
