Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend. So I haven't made it to my goal as you might have guessed since I didn't announce it but I am well on my way thanks to keeping up with my workouts and moderation. Yep, that old saying "all things in moderation" does seem to work. This weekend my husband and I relaxed our eating habits more than once - let me tell you there were cheese fries, burgers - with the bun!, wings, more fries, and even chocolate chip cookies and thats just his! If you dont know him he is a guy with a lot of muscles and hardly any body fat because he works at it.
Well, all that being said he gained 4 lbs! I lost 1 lb! I still helped him with both fries, a bit of the cookie, a turkey sandwich with chips (yum), and a few drinks earlier in the week. Not what any person on the 90% rule would say was good. But I did eat way less than he did, which I should since I am smaller than him! Remember ladies that you are smaller than that guy (dad, brother, husband, co-worker) you are eating with and therefore should eat less and drink less alcohol than they do.
#1 rule for me: the 90% rule. This means simply eating right - low sugar, low carb, high protein - 90% of the time, which is what I try to go by and what Josef preaches. This way, the scale will make you smile instead of cry.
Basically, stick to your plan and if you do fall off the wagon, it might not be as bad as you think.
And for anyone fearing Passover remember when baking you can substitute matzah meal with almond meal!
