Nutella or Doritos?

I just ate a handful of Doritos.  (First time in about 17-18 weeks).  Then, I washed them down with RedBull Zero.  Needless to say, I was eating cleaner BEFORE I took the "Eating Clean Challenge".  But... at least with the zero sugar and zero carb Redbull, I will have the energy to work off the Doritos.


Knowing that I can still enjoy one of the unhealthy foods that I love at some point each week will make the fact that I am on a new meal plan less of a punishment or a chore and more about living a new, healthy lifestyle that can still be fun. Getting depressed or lacking motivation to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan can cause you to stray off of your healthy lifestyle regimen. Even just taking one measly week off of your diet and exercise routine can undo a month's worth of work to lose weight and build endurance in your body. Rewarding yourself and not being so hard on yourself can help give you the focus and determination you need to succeed during the rest of the week.

So, I could have had a whole bag of Doritos. Hell, I could have had a jar of Nutella with it. It was my decision to take this cheat because I earned it all week. Instead, I am going moderately because I know that I can have another cheat next week. No biggy! What did I do with the rest of the bag of Doritos you ask? *Evil laugh* I gave them to my boss. Lol.

  2. Glad to see you're enjoying a cheat every now and again. It took me not being able to get into the gym one day to realize that sometimes taking a day off and enjoying friends and family isn't such a bad thing I actually did better at my Saturday workout than I had in months! Funny moderation is the hardest thing for me can't wait till I finally get it, it has always been all or nothing for me this time around thank goodness is different it is coming slowly but I am FINALLY learning moderation isn't such a bad thing.
