When I speak of reality, I mean a food plan that you can live with long-term! We will be receiving our new meal plans tomorrow but we were able to discuss some of the fabulous parts that are being added and were not a part of the last Biggest Loser. We have been given permission to have one cheat meal per week. That cheat meal could be one of two things: alcohol (3 glasses of wine, vodka water or light beer) OR eat anything we want for one meal! Seeing as I rarely drink, have hardly ever drank beer (and recently seemed to have a mild allergic reaction to it), and it is not recommended to drink on my medication, I don't think my doctors would be happy with me drinking.
So, I went straight out and had my favourite perogie pizza with sour cream for dinner and then chased it with a glass of milk! YUM! Hello gluten, hello dairy, nice to see you again. I only hope they do not bring unwanted visitors with them (meaning they better not make me sick tonight)! It was super yummy and such a great cheat that I feel like I really got cheating out of my system.
Also being added to our plan is one dessert per week as long as it's one of Kathy's recipes and I'm completely fine with that because her brownies are delicious (I still have some frozen that have been waiting to be eaten). I also found out that her "Mancakes" or "Protein pancakes" are on the plan and can be eaten every day AND with more maple syrup than before...how can this possibly be legal?! If only everyone knew these tricks and recipes, there would be a lot less people overweight and a lot more happy, skinny people. I will be cooking up massive amounts this weekend to freeze and devour every day until I either turn into a pancake or Kathy tells me to stop, whichever comes first!
Now, onto the difficult part of my night. Kathy Smart is our incredible nutritionist whom I cannot say enough nice things about. She is a sweetheart, brilliant nutritionist full of fabulous knowledge, and creates the most amazing recipes. On top of all of that, she is also a trainer. She does not train others often but has trained several of our other trainers at one time or another. For the very first time, she was our fitness trainer tonight.
Oh-my-gosh! I feel like I took a trip to hell and they turned up the heat so I could sweat buckets while the devil sat and laughed! Kathy is unstoppable, literally (we were practically begging her to make it end). When you think you are done, nope. It if seemed tough, like you need a rest, that means you are just begining. One of our trainers said she is the only trainer who ever brought him close to throwing up (and HE has brought all of US to that point)! Someone else said they watched her train another group once and when she thought they were doing an intense workout, she discovered it was actually their cool-down! How can someone with a heart of gold be so evil in a workout?? At least she does it with a smile and her positive attitude is infectious which helped it to be a positive experience, no matter how difficult it was (but shhhh, don't tell Kathy I said that)!!
I believe I can hear my bed calling me as I write this. I might fall into it like a ton of bricks (or at least 259.8lbs of bricks!) but that just means I won't have to move for a few hours. I know I will be sore tomorrow, but what I'm dreading is the "2nd day after" (which is always the worst) because I have dance class to make it through in one piece on Saturday. Wish me luck!
Goodnight and God bless!
