Cheat day!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately, it's hard to find the time sometimes!

My training has been going really good... I'm getting stronger everyday!! Katelynn and I were talking about how when we started working out one of the things we struggled with was incline bench... When we started we could barely do 8 reps with just the bar (45lbs) and that was with a spot! lol Now we are doing more weight and reps... So we're getting better! =) 
I had a really bad week with weight gain (I gained 3lbs in 1 week!!) and it was hard to keep training and sticking to the diet... I decided on my training instead of adding weight I'd add more reps to my set and with my diet I was going to add a cheat day (Dr. Ozz said it's ok to have a cheat day! lol) soooo I decide Saturday would be a good cheat day because I'm pretty active that day so I'd burn more calories than if it was on a lazy Sunday... Now I just want to clarify on my cheat day I still try and stick to my calories as close as I can and I don't go crazy with what I eat... I usually only have one or two things that aren't on the diet and I'm satisfied!! Since I started doing these things I've lost the 3 lbs I gained that week plus a few more, so I feel I'm getting the results I want!! =)

Just  a few things on what Dr. Ozz said about cheat days- The reason he recommends them is because he says it gives your metabolism kind of a kick start to start burning fat again from eating the same healthy foods all the time.... And you should have 5 days in between your cheat days!
