Sorry for not keeping up with this blog in the last week. I have been extremely busy through work and church. Anyway, enough with that. I have been doing extremely well on the diet so far. As all who have kept up w/me know that I always have a cheat day during the week(usually Sat, or Sun). What I have found to be hilarious is that the day after I cheat the scale actually says that I have lost a pound. I think it might be due to the fact that I am keeping my daily caloric intake between 1700-2000. When I cheat(only 1 Meal and I don’t go overboard) My fitday.com info raises my caloric intake up to between 2200-2400 calories for that day. From what I have read is that if you have a day where it spikes, your metabolism kicks into overdrive to burn off the exess that your body is not used to having. I have said all of that to say this. Last night I had a church group meeting(I am a leader of our High School Program). I associate pastor bought pizza for everyone to snack on. Thank goodness it was thin crust. I will admit the place he got it from is a local joint and is one of my wife and I favorite. I will also have to say that those 4 pieces I had were a joy, thinking of that o.k. this is my cheat day and I will just be good this weekend. Upon arriving back at home around 8:15pm my wife who is so loving and so dastardly reminds me by saying “what have you done?”. I thought you were going to use the Super Bowl party to cheat. CRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP! She was right. So I am going to try and hold myself to eating healthy on that day. Carrots, Celery, etc. We will see how that goes. She has even agreed to bring some healthy alternatives to the party we are attending. I love her.

Do any of you out there get a little anxious about the Saturday’s BW workouts, i sure as heck do. I mean, I look forward to accomplishing them and seeing the bar get raised weekly, but man after I finish with the warm up, I get that sinking feeling of my brain telling me. Do you have any idea what you are about to partake in? How are you ever going to complete this? You have only been exercising for 3 1/2 weeks now. What does Craig think you are? Of course I begin and finish, and then feel wonderful afterwards. Having more confidence for the week to come. I think then about how the Mon, Wed workouts aren’t that bad and how I look forward to my days off. I also think of how much I have accomplished in JUST 3 1/2 weeks and how much my body and strength have changed. Anywho, just a day in the life inside my head. Just a good thing that I don’t have more time on my hands. SCARY THOUGHT.  Rclem24 -OUT-
