I'm not going to lie I do indulge when I want too however, I don't call it a cheat meal. That doesn't mean I sit down and devour an entire cake. BUT If I get a craving for something I allow myself to have it. This is a lifestyle for me NOT a diet therefore limiting all sweet and craving is not sustainable. There will be times in life where we are tempted so why not just enjoy it that way you wont set yourself up to binge later. This week we went out to dinner with a friend to a vegan restaurant and I enjoyed dessert after, I had a piece of cake at work for a coworkers birthday and I also had a few chips and chocolate as a snack one night. This all said I didn't die nor did I gain a bunch of weight. This week was an exception and I feel like I had far more treats then needed but oh well I can just pick up where I left off and move on. You can treat yourself once in a while!!!
I have attempted to limit my carb intake this week to prep for carb cycling in weeks 10/11. It was quite difficult and I'm going to say my diet this past two weeks was a complete fail, not because I ate crap food but because I indulged almost every night. :( I guess my body was just telling me that it needed something. As for the workouts same as last week except I changed it up a bit as you can see below I did 2x back workouts and one leg workout and I'm finally seeing results with my back which makes me soo happy after having a little pitty party for myself since I didn't lose any weight this week but I need to remember its not about the number on the scale its about getting fit and I can see through my progress pictures results are there.
My advise for people thinking of starting this program TAKE PICTURES, {I take pictures every two weeks} honestly for me pictures are what keep me motivated because you only set a 2 week goal for yourself instead of looking at the big picture of 12 weeks just try and make it through the next two weeks and knowing your going to take pictures helps stay on track. Also when I feel I've worked so hard and I'm not seeing the number going down on the scale I get discouraged but then I look at the pictures and I can see small results every two weeks.
Check back in two more week for yet another bi weekly update. You can also follow me on Instagram to see my updates. @ashleajasper
