Day 6 of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet is another cheat day and boy did I ever cheat… which brought some very interesting thoughts for me. I’ve never been a fan of cheat DAYS. I prefer a cheat MEAL. Typically, once a week my family and I have pizza for dinner and I usually grab a chocolate bar too. That always ties me over for the week. Sometimes I’ll have a chocolate bar mid week as well. The other days my eating is very healthy and quite predictable.

With these cheat days (knowing that the next day is going to be a fast), I have eaten more junk than normal and stuff that I typically wouldn’t eat. For example, I today I had boxed cereal for breakfast and a Wendy’s Baconator for lunch. I haven’t had boxed cereal or a fast food burger like that in ages.

I understand the point of a cheat day, but if I’m looking at overall health I need to be cautious of what I’m doing on this cheat day. It’s amazing how this change from cheat MEAL to cheat DAY has created a shift in my mindset. It got me out of my cheat MEAL mentality, which I was plenty happy with.

Here’s what I ate today…

Corn Pops
Pasta salad
eggs with toast
Wendy’s Baconator
Kit Kat Chunk Bar
3 home made lean burgers
Another Kit Kat Chunk Bar
Starbucks Tall Green Tea Frappacino
2 cookies
Corn Pops

When I look at that list I’m a bit disgusted with myself even though it was a cheat day. That’s just way to much man made crap in me that I typically wouldn’t allow.

So my plan… Next cheat day I’ll stick to the cheat MEAL instead and go with something like my usual pizza and chocolate bar. I will still increase my calories for the day, but it will come from healthier foods such as some of the starchier carbs that I enjoy, like sweet potatoes, and more oatmeal. I love that stuff and am addicted to it ;)

The workout today was awesome. It seemed like such a break to only workout for 30 minutes and not have to do any HIIT or moderate intensity cardio.

My body feels awesome! For the past three days I haven’t felt like I’m on a diet at all. It’s kind of weird.

I couldn’t believe the words that came out of my mouth today when I was talking with Angie. I told her that I was actually looking forward to the fast day tomorrow ;)

WOW! That was a huge surprise to me for even thinking that, especially since the fast day was the biggest thing that I feared about the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet.

Having gone through the experience of the first cycle I am more prepared for what’s to come this week and I totally know that I can handle it.

I’ve taken what I learned from the experience of the first cycle and the second cheat day and will be applying some minor changes during the second cycle to accelerate my results.

I still can’t believe that I’m actually enjoying this experience. I’m shocked! I think it’s the excitement of the results that I’ve experienced so far along with my intense desire to achieve my goal plus the idea that it’s a short term challenge that’s forcing me to stepping out of my comfort zone.

Let’s see how I do tomorrow ;)

To achieving your limitless potential,
