My goal this week..
Since I can’t seem to go a DAY without cheating and eating more calories than I’m supposed to lately, I have decided to try setting a small goal of 6 days without cheating to see if I can do it…I still allow myself "little" treats like a biscotti cookie or some small sweet daily or I’d go crazy (which is why I don’t see myself ever getting into competitions or anything)…but I watch my calories/protein intake and what I have been doing is eating over my necessary calories pretty regularly which is keeping me from reaching my goal..I always end up telling myself at 11pm-(or later!) that it’s ok, and I will just do more cardio tomorrow…well that thinking is keeping me from progressing so it’s time for a new approach…I figure if I tell you guys about it here, then it is a step in the right direction towards holding myself accountable…afterall I don’t want to have to report that I FAILED at my little goal…AND really, I have promised myself a cheat meal of pizza at the end of this, but ONLY if I can manage to stay on target for 6 days 
…today is day 2, so that’s 1 down already that I made it thru…

Good luck, you can do it! Just 1 day at a time & keep your eyes on the goal.

You CAN and WILL do this, it’s a challenge to win. Just think no matter what its only 6 days, nothing can beat me for 6 days. Go get em girl!! We’re pulling for you.

It’ll be easy peasy by 6 days and you may want to continue the challenge.

Instead of looking at it as a cheat try to think of it as little rewards for a job well done. If you’re not looking to compete I see nothing wrong with being on diet 90% of the time and rewarding yourself for doing so. As long as your fit and healthy why not make your tummy happy once and a while? LOL!
