Day 11, the end of the No Cheat Challenge!

3/26/2010

So the No Cheat Challenge was originally supposed to be two weeks long, but after my friend called in a a second "food emergency" to our nutritionist, our nutritionist had us come in early, weight in, and then decide if we'd earned a cheat day.

Well, I'm down 1.2 lbs this week, and 4.2 since we started, although my body fat is about the same. (My nutritionist blames that on the inaccuracy of the body fat calculating instrument). So I decided I've earned it! I've been craving pizza like crazy so I had pizza. I ate half of a large pizza. I didn't know I could eat that much pizza. I will definitely have to go on a nice long run tomorrow.

What I've learned:
  • I'm obsessive about treats. And I still am. There's nothing like a cupcake to motivate me to finish a long run! But I don't need cupcakes all the time.
  • I know I can eat clean for 11 days. It really wasn't that terrible, and I although I was kind of hungry sometimes, better planning could have helped (more fresh veggies to fill me up, less salad)!
  • My body felt pretty good, and do long runs during those 11 days except for the work-related stress and seasonal allergies.
I think I'm going to be pretty strict about my eating from now on. In a way, it was really nice just having the same routine with my food every day. But I would like a bit more variety, so I'll probably be a little more flexible. And I'll definitely have cheat MEALS, and those will only be once a week.

I can eat a lot of pizza too if I let myself, it doesn't fill me up at all!

Jamie, isn't that terrible?! I love pizza, but might not love it so much after I realized how much I can eat :-/
