You definitely have to let your body get well, so I think you did the right thing. Let me know how your first day back with P90X goes.

It’s funny you asked that because I started to add that to my post, but ran out of time. The diet I was doing prior to P90X did require a weekly cheat meal. That really seemed to help me not pig out when the opportunity arose and was kind of a reward for sticking with the diet. With P90X, I haven’t been doing that and have followed it pretty strictly (there have been meals when I’ve just eaten whatever, but it hasn’t happened too often). Whenever I have gone off course, I have felt really guilty. I think I probably will start incorporating an actual weekly cheat meal though since it has worked before.

I love Papa John’s (and I just love pizza in general)! That’s the first time I’ve had it in maybe 6 months or so. I just couldn’t get enough of it Friday night!!

Do you ever allow “cheat meals” in your diet and P90x progress? Even though you feel like crap after eating Papa Johns (I hate you btw…mmmm sounds good) you seem to live a pretty strict diet…so it doesn’t hurt to throw your body some goodies that it craves every once in a while.

Good choice on the Kenpo…at least you feel like your owning up to your diet choice the night before. But I wouldn’t stress over 1 meal.
