In the end: not something to do everyday, but you did NOT make a huge, horrible mistake by doing it once. No negative allowed. Serious.

Move along, move along...nothing to see here.

EXACTLY!!! One cheat meal in a few meals is not going to undo all the hard work you've done. Nor does it call for a serious whipping or guilt trip of any sort. It probably reset your metabolism if nothing else as a few others have said...and now if you continue to eat well for 95% of the time, everything will continue to be just fine.

It does get tiring eating the same meals every day. Try to have a few options handy that you can substitute in for the week as your mood calls for. There are a lot of equivalent options to turkey. For me, poultry and meat require some pre-planning as they need to be defrosted, but when in a pinch, I make do with tofu, whey and egg whites. I know you are creative and have some in you so you should be able to come up with ways to cook this stuff up to make it .

We you, Mermie!!

Hey, Mermaid! When I REALLY need a break from the "traditional proteins" I make myself a big 'ol romaine salad with chicken from a can or packet, 3-5 HB egg whites and some LDR. It's filling and different than just chewing on a piece of meat. Wakes the mouth up!!!!!

How R u cooking the turkey????

Just plain. I buy large turkey breasts and roast them. Meatballs sound good - I'll have to try them.

I do believe it was just you who was getting onto me about not seeing any "cheats" in my diet plan...

I know, I know, I also told you that I have a problem listening to my own advice!! I'll keep trying.

Take advantage of and appreciate your ability to cook and remember the few people here in Iraq that don't have that option. I'm NOT trying to say "poor me", and I'm NOT trying to make you feel guilty....I just want to throw that out there for perspective's sake. I know you can handle that concept.

Yes I can. I think I'm afraid to eat more interesting things because it reawakens the taste buds and I'll feel like cheating.

I know you are creative and have some in you

LOL, not as much as you might think!! I'm pretty lazy in the kitchen really.

Arms. DOMS. Ugh. Really overdid it. So hit the cardio hard and that felt good. Went to a BBQ tonight, met up with some old friends and the vodka calling was SO strong. I ate 2 handfuls of tortilla chips, then stuck to chicken and salad and still managed somehow to stay within my macros. Part of me was actually too afraid to drink anyway, I just don't want to feel ill the next day even though I love it at the time.

Great job on resisting the call of the vodka. I totally know what you mean about being afraid to drink. I had a few martinis last weekend in Chicago and can barely remember most of the night. I came home with a broken cell phone, broken digital camera and lost credit card....was it worth it? That would be a big, fat NO!! (I have since replaced the cell phone, found someone to repair the camera and cancelled the credit card, but it was still an unneeded hassle).
