So the last week of my previous game was worse than the rest of the game. i had cravings left and right for naughty things. Brownie sundaes, Banans foster, taco pizza it was hard not to just run out and grab one. When my weigh in was verified what did i do i went out and treated myself that day to a brownie sundae..... took 2 days before i had a taco pizza... but i limited myself on these. So for the most part i didnt go crazy weight is still under where i started the 1st bet. This bet I am going to schedule cheat meals. My brother suggested this. He knows me better than anyone. He has seen me at my heaviest and at my lightest. He knows the sweets I crave and how controling they can be over me. I went to visit him a few years ago and he knew enough to buy 3 cases of mountain dew just so I can start my days. It was my coffee back then. Wouldnt he be surprised that even over this small break in between bets I have only had 2 cans of dew. That is at least 2 cases less than normal. I guess I have a new normal. Water has become the normal at least a gallon a day at least. I'm working on a meal plan and schedule for cheat meals. I think I will plan one every 4 days. I'm hoping by doing this the cravings won't get to out of control like they did towards the end of the last game.
Relaxing for the most part has been giving in on 3 occassions to my cravings and less intense walks. I have to give my knee a break... it's been really hurting so figured I would take this tome to let it some rest in. Do I feel bad about cheating. Not really, One think I learned while i was in Culinary school is our bodies have cravings because there is something nutrient wise or bodies are needing. I'm not saying it is going to be an excuse, but during a break and time for relax our bodiesdeserve a break to. Just don't go overboard and your body will thank you and you will feel less tense. So if scheduling a cheat meal or snack helps ease that tension then I'm gonna try it.
