    Yes, actually one "free" meal a week is a good thing because it confuses your metabolism so it doesnt get used to the same caloric intake! I have done this for a while and have had great success with this theory!

    Depends on what "normal" is I guess. Is normal a cheeseburger and french fries? Then I'd say NO because your body won't like it after having been healthy all week. But maybe some chicken parmesan with extra veggies isn't bad.

    Also, if you're looking for inspiration, maybe inspire him to inspire you. Ask him to get you something nice (manicure gift certificate, gift certificate to your favorite household store) after you reach a certain goal. Or maybe say that after say 10 lb, you and him both will go out and celebrate together. That way, you guys can be a team and he can encourage you in other ways to keep up the great work.
