some add'l thoughts after a friday of indulgence:
--felt wonderful to give in, to a gourmet's version of temptation island last night. even with the mini bite sized pieces though, i ate enough to experience what we've worked hard to avoid these past 55 days, namely the feeling of being "full", which as we know, is pretty much too late and a sign that you've already over-eaten (from a health/nutrition standpoint).
--while i most def enjoyed the rich, delicious foods, i also did feel a bit of discomfort almost immediately with the feeling of being (too) full. something i can live with, and smile about, but not ideal, compared to the recent discovery of peak condition's eating habits, i.e. until you are not hungry anymore.
--while i def appreciate the pairing of a nice beer or wine with almost all foods, it was nice to stay off the alcohol still and just enjoy rich, tasty food as its own indulgence.
--def felt slightly guilty at going overboard on the calorie allowance, but when i woke up early to start the daily routine, i also felt even more sluggish physically than usual. luckily Ken and Don were both there to offer peer support and pressure to get the whole set of exercises done, along with a few add'l reps.
--at breakfast Sat, i was tempted to enjoy just a bit more than usual too--oh, how slippery that proverbial slope can get.
gotta re-focus for the second half, which still has over a month to go...
