As promised from yesterday, I made up the 20 min of cardio that I lost from my previous workout. Kept pretty strong with a few temptations with free cake, doughnuts and pizza that my work was offering in the passed few days(including today). But since I knew that I would be facing an extra 20 min of cardio, why eat something that is going nullify my extra cardio, or worse yet nullify my whole workout?

Looking in perspective, this seems to be a challenge that I face almost everyday. As you probably figured out from my previous posts, I unfortunately have an Achilles heal and that is BEER...Mmmm..I love beer.... As a cruel reality, if I want washboard abs fast, beer cannot be in the equation. I do however give myself a pat on the back though for the amount of beer that I have sacraficed for the 54 days that has passed. I have kept it to no more than 2 beers per week, where before it was like 15 to 20 beers per week. What I am realizing since starting this program is that if I do not consume things in moderation, I will get fat - again. If I eat something that is very high in calories (like a full bucket of KFC or whole bottle of whisky), the fat will just collect in my body if I don't burn it off by going to the gym. It's all about balance.

In my case, I want to lose pounds, not sustain - therefore I need to stay away from these high calorie foods/drinks on a daily basis(except for my day off/reward day) and workoff the fat that is currently in my system, without the concern of burning the calories that are being consumed....That being said, I plan to have KFC(2 piece - not a full bucket) and a light beer for my reward day tomorrow... ;-) Looking forward to it!
