*yawn*
Even with the 30 min adjustment to the alarm I slept through it. I'll give by body a few days to adjust to that change and see how I'm doing at the mid-to-end of next week.

Last night was a slow nite at job 2 as we didn't have a truck to unload. They stuck me on the sales floor putting stock on the shelves so there wasn't a lot of lifting, just a lot of walking around helping customers and putting stuff up but at least they put me in the electronics department where all the toys are.


Meal 1 - Cals-294/Fat-6/Carbs-39/Protein-23
48 oz coffee w/splenda
.5 c 2% milk used as creamer in the coffee
.5 c oatmeal w/apple pie spice & splenda
.5 scoop BF Vanilla protein powder mixed in the oatmeal.

**It takes me most of the morning to drink all that coffee.

Meal 2 - Cals-337/Fat-6/Carbs-30/Protein-40
1 med sweet potato
6 oz grilled chicken
water and/or 16 oz CL-raspberry ice flavor.

I got 1 big bit of the salmon before it slid off the plate.




I've had two protein bars & 16 oz soy milk since the meal 3 "incident."

Today is my oldest daughters birthday - She's 20. Tonite is the birthday dinner she wanted - - fettuchini alfredo w/chicken and I've been told in no uncertain terms that I haveto eat some. (I have a couple of Glucorell's left so I'll be taking them before dinner.)

That's going to be the last cheat meal of that kind because I'm switching my weekly cheat meal to something better for me and far less guilt-ridden, like steak

I'm waiting on the chicken to get done so I can eat lunch:
6 oz chicken
1 med sweet potato
1 tbsp of Promise FF butter.

ON Pro Complex PM - Milk Chocolate flavor
I ordered this and it came in yesterday. I tried it for breakfast this morning and it mixed very well in cold soy milk. I think it tastes very good, nice and smooth and it did seem to fill me up longer than my normal protein shakes do.

I'll be having some tonite as my last meal so that I can see how it affects me at nite and to see if there is any difference on how hungry I am when I wake up.

For now I'm doing "house-stuff" before my daughter gets here.

It's nice out for this time of year so I said "screw the grocery shopping I'm goin for a walk - c'mon Max!"

I took the little buddha-bellied dog for a nice brisk 1/2 mile walk. He stopped to pee about 5,000 times and poop about 100 (or so it seemed) but it felt really good to get out there and stretch these legs!

It was goooooooooooooooooooood. I ate salad first so I wouldn't eat as much of the other and I had a diet coke to go with it.

I got to love on Da GranPunkin the entire time I was there and then we shared some dirt pudding. (dirt pudding is crushed oreos & french vanilla pudding)

She's prolly still wired from all the sugar. Oops!

There's a lot less guilt involved when I don't have a cheat meal. I know that my body needs a cheat meal but I always wonder if it throws me two steps backwards.

A little later here, but one way to look at it is a RE-FEED - not a cheat. Your body needs a re-feed occasionally. When dieting, especially low carb, you need a day/meal of higher carbs to jumpstart leptin levels. Leptin levels become low when you ar ein a caloric deficit and/or are low carbing. Leptin helps to regulate your appetite and metabolism. When you are dieting, levels lower. Leptin also helps with energy.

Especially since you are so busy, you need to make sure you re-feed a couple times a week.

I would take 2 days, spaced out ... say, Monday and Thursday and have one meal that is higher in CLEAN CARBS. An extra serving of sweet potato, extra serving of oatmeal, etc. Maybe pick your two busiest days to have the extra carbs.

Do this instead of a "cheat meal".

JMO.
