Alright, as I've mentioned before I am doing the Body for Life program. I exercise and diet 6 days a week. Exercise consists of 3 aerobic and 3 weight sessions, alternating upper and lower body. Diet consists of a lean protien and low sugar carb, 6 times a day. 1 day out of the week I don't diet or exercise, and I usually eat a ton of junk food and drink alot.

Now, I have been on it for 8 weeks. I have been extremely strict on the diet, however I usually go nuts on my free day. I eat alot of fast food and junk food. However, I told myself in the beginning that once I dropped below 160 I would ease up on the diet a bit. (I started at ~180). Now the day has come, I was 159.4 this morning, and I'm not so sure I want to stop now.

I've been doing so well, I'm kind of thinking I should keep doing what I'm doing until I lose another 10 lbs and can barely pinch any fat off my belly. Right now I can still pinch about 3/4" or so, I need to check with the calipers. So this is my thought as to why I should keep going.

However, my plan wasn't to completely slack off. I was just going to allow myself to start cheating Friday, as well as Saturday. On Sundays I would stay away from junk and fast food, but not be quite as strict on the diet. My exercise regime would remain exactly the same.

One thing I want to point out is that before I started, my diet was terrible. Lots of fast food, beer and junk with no exercise. So even if I slack up a little I will still be much eating better than I used to. Also, I will keep an eye on my weight, and if I rise above 160, then its back to strict I go.
