I was today's feature in the Cathy Savage daily newsletter. They have a large photo of me and the blurb that I posted here yesterday titled "Getting IT!". Along with that, they added:
"Thanks <Roony> for sending us this. You are doing the work and as you say, ONCE IN A WHILE, its more than ok! Why do I think back to Tom Cruise's father in the movie "Risky Business" , when he says, "Sometimes you have to say what the &^%".". This is the whole point. Being in shape and being healthy affords you the right to splurge every now and then without it causing a break in your progress! Life cant be so regimented. If it is, you are setting yourself up for failure. So, reward yourself if you are doing the work and then get right back on your qwest like <Roony> has! Have a great Saturday everyone!"
And yes, Bunns, it is an awesome transition!
And 
to duckie & Jenns...couldn't have come this far without all of y'all

Thanks, girls! 
Whoever would have ever thought I would become a poster child for cheat meals? 
But I think the point is to enjoy yourself at the right times and then pick yourself right back up and get into the routine. No excuses, no fallbacks....right back ON!

Sat, Dec 16th
Scale weight: 117lbs
I did a no complex carb day experiment today. I did eat my usual numbers, but substituted the 75g of complex carbs that I would normally get on a non-training day with veggies instead. This will be in my future program, so I just wanted to get a taste of energy level and mood while I had a chance on a low-key day. I didn't realize how much veggies I'd have to put down though to make up the difference!
7:45 am:
1/3 cup 1% cottage cheese mixed with 1 small banana, 2 tbsp pecans, Stevia & s/f hazelnut syrup
16 oz hazelnut coffee, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, Stevia
9am: 55 mins spinning
10am:
16 oz hazelnut coffee, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, Stevia
10:30am: 30 mins boot camp
(squat thrusts, planks, push-up sequences, squat jumps, mountain climbers, jumping jacks sequence)
11:15 am
1/3 cup 1% cottage cheese mixed with 1 diced apple, 1 tbsp walnuts, Stevia & s/f hazelnut syrup
1pm: 60 mins absolutely heavenly full body deep tissue massage!!
2:30pm:
4 oz turkey tenderloin stir-fried with 3 cups okra and 1 cup diced tomatoes with cayenne pepper & garam masala to season
4:30pm:
3 oz broiled salmon seasoned with Mrs Dash
3.5 cups steamed cauliflower/broccoli mix
7:15pm:
4 oz turkey tenderloin with 4 cups green beans seasoned with Mrs Dash & garlic powder
9:30pm:
Grilled chicken salad
- 4 oz grilled chicken strips seasoned with Mrs Dash and cayenne pepper
- 2 cups romaine, ½ cup cherry tomatoes, onions, celery, tri-color peppers
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dab of Dijon mustard mixed as dressing
10:30pm:
½ cup 1% cottage cheese mixed with 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder, 1/2 tbsp almond butter, 1 tsp s/f jello pudding mix with a sprinkling of stevia and s/f hazelnut syrup
Totals: 1550 cals (135g carbs, 149.5g protein, 32.5g fat)
Phew, I am FULL with all those veggies. I didn't miss my complex carbs at all so now I feel sure than I can indeed get through a day like this when need be.
