Day 40 did a test the other day

OK here it goes. I did a test to see how my body responded, as I am so curious as to what works exactly and what doesn't as this is a long term thing for me not just a 90 day thing. Though PCP is the best thing I have done to date health wise, I feel there is still room to tweak things as it's impossible for Patrick to know exactly what is going on within my body.

So the other day about day 3 of this week's diet, I had some problems to deal with, was at home mulling over them, then WHAM like a ton of bricks I felt like a beer, maybe 2. was in a pissy mood so said screw it off to the store to get 2 cans of light calorie beer 125 cal each. Drank them feeling well not any better, but now the food craving kicked in. (beer makes you want to eat crap food) Again said screw it woofed down some cookies and a turkey sandwich. Went to bed woke up to see my weight didn't change. sounds good right? Well nope, I usually loose .4 to .6 kg every morning, so I didn't get that loss I would have usually have had. Then did my workout of course, (never missed a day) then the next day had a .4 kg loss. So here is the kicker. If you cheat on the diet twice a week you will loose only half the weight as supposed to following the diet. The binge was a test as well, which proved to be quite motivating. Since then I have been much more motivated to stick to the diet, as it clearly works well.

Yesterday I also started to run 30 min level 9.5 instead of skipping and think (for me) burns a lot more calories during the day. Don't get me wrong skipping is awesome but getting my heart rate up keeps my metabolism up all day even though running is cardio more so than fat burn, the long term calorie burn seems to be better for me. I'll keep an eye on how the weight loss goes this week while I run every day instead of skipping. Seemed to drop even more quickly for me.

Last night I thought about beer a bit but after remembering how UNSATISFYING it was last time it was easy to pass on. This was a really good feeling.

Some people can look at this as being weak, but for me it made me stronger. Exactly what I wanted. I now love my veggies very much more so than the crap food. I also love my Perrier and plums. I crave those. This is what is needed to maintain this new body. Not torture and wishing I had a pizza instead.

Saying that the egg white dinners suck and very boring, but needed for the cause. Once we are off this hell dinner I am sure I can replace it with a very healthy satisfying dinner.
