And I'll eat if I want to!

It's Mother's Day. I'm a mother. My girls bought some gorgeous steaks to grill tonight and my husband is making stuffed baked potatoes. I don't usually drink because it's hard to work that into my food plan. But today all that goes out the window ... with one exception. I'm logging it all. Every bite. This is a huge step for me. I usually don't log cheat days. I just cheat. But this time, I'm logging it all. And tomorrow, I will be back to normal.

So it started this morning with some cravings for donuts. So I WALKED to the bakery bought two lovely donuts and ate them guilt free. Then came the mimosas. As everyone knows, when you open the champagne, you have to finish it! So working my way through some OJ and champagne. And tonight I will have my steak and baked potatoes and I will love them and I will go well over my calorie count and macros today, but tomorrow, I will be back on track and I WILL NOT FEEL GUILTY. I've lost almost 20 lbs since January when I got back on track and I've earned a little fun.

My diary is open, feel free to follow me on my cheat day!

    I had mine on Saturday. Yesterday was going to be too busy to go to that restaurant I had been craving for years, so we went on Saturday instead. I've only gained one pound on the scale too and even if it was fat (which is unlikely), it was totally worth it.
