Day One - Cheat Day

Joel Marion (hereafter known as The Boss in order to avoid confusion with my husband Joel)'s words pertaining to Cheat Day are, "eat liberally throughout the day without stuffing yourself." The other instructions are to eat anything you want, no skipping meals to save up for a single feast, and no alcohol. No workout, either. Survey says?

Easiest. First. Day. Ever.

I'm sucking this up and enjoying every minute though, cause I know that tomorrow's going to suck a little bit, and the next day is going to suck a lot. That's what I signed up for, so bring it on! Whee!

Almost forgot, I have to post some numbers. This morning I did some weighing and measuring (before I got out the Ben and Jerry's, ha ha), so here are my baseline measurements...argh. And for the record, I am using the word HATE here, about the scale. I find getting on it shocking and horrifying and whatever discomfort is in store for me over the next 14 days pales in comparison to posting my weight on the Internet...just so you all know! Here we go:

Weight: 186.0lbs
Shoulders: 42"
Chest: 37.5"
Waist: 32.5"
Hips: 44"
Left thigh: 24.5"

Deep breath...I survived! I won't post measurements every day, just once per week, but I'll weigh in every day. Ha ha, maybe I'll be numb to the horrors of the scale by the end of this! Even if nothing happens at all on this plan, that will be one major success.

So how did I approach cheat day? Pretty much the same way I approach every day, with the notable exception of a bowl of ice cream before breakfast. And after lunch. And some cheesecake ingredients while I made this weekend's cheesecakes. And a can of regular coke after supper. Seriously, why does anyone drink that shit? It doesn't even taste good. Anyway, I am totally ready for Fast Day; I think if I kept going like this I'd be pushing my gut around in a wheelbarrow before too long.
