Day 11, What a Difference a Cheat Makes

So, I have paid the price for my cheating last night. First of all, I weigh almost a pound and a half more, bringing my total loss back up to a little over 5 pounds. Secondly, because I didn't prepare for the cheating with cinnamon, exercises, grapefruit juice, etc., I feel what could only be described as a sugar hangover this morning. I am considering making yesterday my cheat day, and not cheating on Saturday, but we'll see. One thing is certain: DON'T CHEAT. You will pay in pounds lost and in headache/general malaise.



Breakfast: Eggs with artichoke hearts (rinsed them to remove as much oil as possible), spinach, pinto beans



Lunch: High protein shake. I'm probably going to eat some beans and spinach with this too. I don't plan on doing protein drinks instead of meals very often, but I want to have them as back-up. I have lots of things to get done in the next week or two, so breakfast or lunch may occasionally need to be a protein shake. If this negatively effects my goals I will of course discontinue.

It was too dark to take a picture of dinner, but it was a salad with tuna on it.
