What a great idea. It's like when you see the Dairy Queen commercial! If you don't have bananas/ ice cream and choc sauce are you going to get dressed and go out to get it?
I live in the heat and to work up a sweat i run in place when the dogs are out they take there time and i get to work out at the same time and they go out a lot and sometimes they just want to run and play so i let them cause i can not go to far cause of my oxygen so i get work outs that way mild but still work outs
I dont have a set day for having a treat, I wait until my weight hasnt budged a bit in more than a few days and I know I need a treat day. Not only do I see the weight i was struggling to shift disapear plus some within the few days after a treat day but treat days also make me feel yuck and remind me why I eat healthy every other day. Im averaging 1 treat day out of 10-14 healthy days. It feels good to finally know what my body wants/needs :-)
