I ate a cheat meal tonight!!!!! Why is it thatI always seem to write in my journal after cheat meals????? Is it because I am SO happy and want to share it with you all? Or because I am on a sugar high- and I like to write before I crash into a sugar coma? Either way.....here I am! Tonight was a more "subdued" cheat meal. Pete calls it a "controlled cheat meal". I had steak, baked potato, and cheesecake..............mmmmmmmm. The cheesecake was a "snickers" cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (bought frozen from Costco). OH MY GOD- it was so good! I read the calorie panel.....37 grams of fat in ONE PIECE!!!! Isn't that insane? It was totally sinful......Now I am so thirsty, I could drink a gallon of water. On cheat meal days, I eat no carbohydrates all day, then do a high intensity cardio session right before the meal.....It totally kicks my butt! My weight was down to 125 this morning. I am finally starting to see daily changes in my body.....this is when the whole process becomes fun. Every morning you wake up to a new body.

I finally found out where the host hotel is going to be in NY....unfortunately, all the discounted rooms are taken, and their "normal" priced rooms are $300 a night!!!! Holy crap! So, I made reservations at the Marriott Financial Center- which is where I have always stayed for my NY contests. Unfortunately......they cost $250 per night! Oh well, no turning back now....hahaha

Christine e-mailed me to tell me she is working on my suits......hopefully I will have them in hand very soon!

I must go to bed.....I have another busy day tomorrow. Take care everyone.....train hard, no excuses! Love ya,

Tami
