So I follow a very clean diet, but I have to have cheat meals! Out of the 42 (6 meals per day by 7 days) meals I eat each week, I allow myself 3-4 cheat meals. I don’t like doing all of them in one day. For me that doesn’t work, because I binge eat and cause myself more problems after my cheat day is done. So instead I work cheat meals in for 1 of my six in a day, but I try not to have them on back to back days. Every once and a while I do, but for the most part I keep them spaced apart so I don’t crave them more often. For example this week, Wednesday’s nights are golf night, so I know I will most likely drink a few beers and after golf when we go to dinner I usually will have something bad for dinner. So this past week, I had Chicken Wings at Wild Wing Cafe, and they tasted great. I of course know they are horrible for me. But I got them out of my system and I won’t eat them again in a long time.  Then on Thursday I had a little desert after my lunch (Hersey’s bar with Almonds). Again, I got it out of my system, I won’t have anything like that for weeks now. It is a moderation thing, since I know my eating habits can go very bad very quick, so this keeps me in check.

The good news from all of this, I am down 2 pounds! From 185 to 183! My cut is going in the right direction.
