Can a cheat day wreck progress? You betcha. Tonight, I'm at 167 pounds before a cheat day. I was tracking near 160 before a cheat day, sometimes under. There are a few things that wrecked it.
1. Out of control cheat days. Some of cheat days in the past two months ticked up six, seven, and at least one time, eight pounds. Do that consistently, and you WILL creep back up. And when I mean out of control, I mean CAN'T...STOP...EATING...
2. My thriftiness doesn't help either. Free chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant? Yep. Non-menu compliant appetizer (with another coupon)? Again, yep.
3. Nuts. For the most part, this is not the problem; however, in excess, they are a problem. During the week, too many nuts.
Body fat percentage is correlating with weight. When near 160, body fat is near 11 percent; at 167, body fat is above 13 percent.
Goal 1 is 158.2. That would give me a recorded weight of 100 pounds lost since I started writing it down. Goal 2 is less than 10 percent body, which would be around 155 pounds.
So as of tonight, 12 pounds to go (not counting cheat day). It is the time of resolutions, after all.
