We are currently on day 6 of our Fit-tastic Workout and Diet plan and I finally will add my two cents as to why we are wanting to embark on this mighty quest. Being that I studied Physical Education and Exercise Science in school, I know the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. I also know that knowing and doing are two completely different things. Sure eating pizza every night while watching TV or playing Madden is a lot of "fun", but it leads to feeling like a sad sack. While looks are a motivating factor in this process, the feelings of accomplishment and inner healthiness and happiness are the main ones for me.

The Importance of Cheat Meals

Yesterday was our first cheat meal and let me tell you, it was well worth the cheat. Cheat meals are meals designed to send a shocker to your stomach and metabolic processes to increase the metabolism. We designed our diet plan to include 2 of these meals per week. Meal 1 of Week 1 took place last night. 3 delicious pizza, bread sticks, and 5 pizza rollers (basically crescent rolls filled pizza deliciousness). We began as slowly as possible, enjoying every savory bite to its fullest enjoyment. But after about 3 of those, the devouring began. It was like lions after hunting 3 days for a zebra. We did choose the healthiest of beverages, bottled water.
