Well after reaching the 35lb mark on the weight loss we all decided it was time for a cheat. I firmly believe that cheating is a must for any diet that I have been on, but this isn't really a diet that I am on. Atkins has become a way of life, a healthier way of eating, and a totally healthier way to tackle diabetes.
So, we made it an event; you see I also believe that if you cheat with something at the corner store you might be inclined to cheat often. We planned out a few different scenarios:
Well with most on the list you can see that they could be easily repeated, so we went to Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Also our choice was based on what we were actually craving at the time and that was sweets. I went a whole week through Easter without CHOCOLATE, now for me that's willpower.
So, it is over, the cheat was on and it has passed. I had WAY more energy today working out, and I was not tired afterwards. I think my body needed it. I gained nothing in weight and although it will take a few days to get back into Ketosis, it was worth it.
Next Cheat July 1st weekend!
