Hey SG! If you read my log last year, you knew I binged at all my weekly cheat meals and totally kicked up the calories. I actually think I managed to undo a few days of clean eating with that so I'm trying to do it a little differently this year. I started a thread about it earlier and was given some sound advice by Sassy and a few others to just eat till I'm full on cheat meals without pigging out.

Of course, there will be those special meals and weekend vacations (the next one is coming up on Feb 10th) where I'll just let loose a little....thanks for checking in on me!

I am curious to see how this works for you and the sticky fat issue (moderating the cheats a little, or a lot hehe ) . How is that going anyway? Have you seen anymore Fat Loss in the problem areas in general? Sorry it's been a while, trying to play catch up.

Hey Bunns! I miss ya, girl

The sticky fat is still there (even at 14-15% bf), but I think is slowly becoming progressively better. My trainer who does my measurements and body fat seems to think I need to get down to a low body fat like 10-11% for that to melt...but she also tells me it's not as bad as I make it to be. I hope she's right. I too hope that moderating the cheats will help me get the progress I want this year, but still keep me sane.

Back to studying....good night all!

If you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?

You are really doing a great job - keep it up!! Since you have been eating pretty clean for about three weeks now and exercising regularly, do you feel a difference in your body physically? How is your energy level?

IP, I'm studying for my project management certification (PMP). It's somewhat similar to what a CPA would be to the accounting world. I haven't taken a major exam in so long and my memory isn't what it used to be. I can't wait to get it over and done with (hopefully in Feb!).

As for energy levels, I am still feeling good. I'm a bit surprised that I haven't lost any scale weight with the clean eating and added cardio, but I'm trying to be patient about that. I am going to see if I can get my body fat tested this weekend so I have a base number to start the new year with.
