I Cheated!! and it cost me a pound

Last night I ate less than half an ounce of beef... that had been re-heated in a pan with coconut oil... and instead of losing two and a half pounds yesterday, I only lost one. Serves me right. I cheated. But I can't feel guilty about it. Only losing one pound instead of two or more has taught me a few lessons:
1. Don't sit there while your husband cooks and eats something delicious. Go outside or into the bedroom.
2. Even the tiniest cheat can make a real difference. I committed to doing this program - why not give it my best shot?!
3. Don't let yourself dwell on how much you miss fats and oils, it's only for 24 days, not for the rest of your life.

I did a kettlebell workout this morning and it felt great. I did all of my usual exercises, but with half the weight. Now I'm starving and quite tired, but half an apple and a nap should do the trick.

Tonight we're off to a party. There will be food and drink everywhere, but I will not cheat! It's not worth it. I will eat before we go and drink mineral water while we're there, and not stay too long. Really, it would be much smarter to just stay home, but it's for a really close friend, so I'm going. We'll see how I feel about it later!
