To keep my self human and motivated I am trying the once a week cheat day. I chose Sunday as my day of no rules eating. Anything goes. I have a really hard time allowing myself to eat anything I want. I keep thinking about the nutritional value of everything and worrying about eating unhealthy things but then one of my sisters just reminds me to chill out because it's cheat day. I do have to say this really works for keeping me on the healthy eating track. Because after eating lots of sugar and fatty foods I really don't feel so well.
Our day started with brunch at Madeleines's a french cafe & patisserie. There food is divine!! And there are not words to describe how good their coffee is :) I forgot my phone so I didn't get pictures of everything :( boo. My sister did get one of our coffee though! We each got a different size but the same drink lol! It was a carmello. Mmmm mmm good! For breakfast I got pigs in a blanket, 3 whole wheat pancakes and 3 sausages. It really was pretty good and if I would have just stopped my cheat day right there I probably would have felt fine. Although it was a lot of food for me to eat. We shared a napoleon too which I had never tried before. It was really good!
Since brunch was so filling I really didn't eat anything the until evening. I had half a cheese bagel with a little cream cheese.
Then I made gingerbread houses with my niece and nephew.... that's were I got into trouble. It only seem right that you sample each of the candies you decorate your house with..right? :) And sample the walls and roof. hehe Ya I had a little tummy ache after that. Live and learn.
It was a good and fun cheat day. I will just learn how to make better cheat choices next time.
