Thanksgiving Diet

Current Stats: Weight 214, Waist 32.7, Moral OK

So in one word, this week was hectic. I had a strategy of eating “lite” prior to the big day but it doesn’t seem to be working. All containers, boxes and labels read lite, diet or low carb and I’m throwing down over 2000 calories.

When tough decisions came up in my life, my coach use to say “DO the MATH”. And in typical Mikey fashion I would say “huh”. In this case we can do the math, 3600 calories equals 1 pound of unadulterated fat. Over the span of a month that’s 4 pounds. Okay, I don’t want to over analyze or complicate things. It boils down to how strong is our motivation. I need everyone out there to help me and let me know there is a hope after Thanksgiving.

My only advice is get wasted and eat like a pig but don’t let it carryover, spill into December and make it a two month binge. Have fun! Call it a carb-reload or cheat day but don’t forget your motivation. While everyone is waiting till January to make a “resolution” and scraping the rest of the year, you and I decided to make a our motivation stronger.

My buddy Rusty from the FitnessBlackBook.com says it best:

“If you want to get lean badly enough, you will. I know this is a simple statement, but it is completely true. If you are not as lean as you would like to be, it is NOT due to lack of knowledge. If you don’t have six pack abs or are not lean, but want to be…my answer to you is that you just don’t “want to” reach that goal as much as someone who has. You will reach almost every goal you set in life if your motivation is strong enough.”

For now keep working out and maintain your habits the best you can and remember to be good to yourself cause no one else will!
