So one of the big dangers to a cheat day is letting yourself fall off the diet after you cheat once. My second 200k Challenge eventually fell apart precisely for that reason. Even with me doing well on it, I just got bored and wanted to eat junk food instead. After falling out of the habit of dieting I started to slip back into my old patterns. Needless to say, today was kind of critical. I'd skipped running despite having opportunities to do so and I'd gone out to feed my weakness. Today though I got back on the treadmill and actually stepped up my performance. I actually ran at a 7 mph pace for a half-hour, and mostly a 6.5 mph pace the rest. I still need to start working on distance eventually but I plan to start doing that this week if I can get outside to do it.
Food today: egg and cheese for breakfast (300 calories), a couple of cheese pizza slices for lunch (600 calories), snacks were some M&Ms and a piece of cheese (150 calories), dinner was penne, sauce and garlic toast (1000 calories). Exercise was a lunch time walk (100 calories) and an hour on the treadmill (1168 calories).
