So from a couple days before the half-marathon through yesterday I was really living the Cheat Week. I ate too much and exercised too little. Oh I had "reasons" for it, but they weren't good ones. Even worse, for the last couple days I had even lost track of what I was eating and as a result ate too much. So I'm uncertain of my calorie counts for the last few days (though I'm getting back on track today). So since I lost track I awarded no points and also gave myself a 2000 point penalty. It's possible if I had been tracking it the penalty would actually have been worse, but this is probably bad enough.
As I've said many times "cheating" on a diet isn't terrible as long as it doesn't become a habit. This week was starting to become a habit.
So was there any positive this week (other than the half-marathon which went great)? I did give in and have some caffeinated soda this week and discovered that I don't even enjoy it all that much anymore. Plus I had clearly "gotten clean" as just a couple glasses of soda was enough to keep me up more than 5 hours later. So while I decided to "cheat" on that goal as well, it's much easier to go back to cutting caffeine out.
Today's food: left-pizza for breakfast (500 calories), and chicken tenders and fries for dinner (1500 calories). No exercise though.
