"Project One Three"

I have been inspired by a man who is attempting to become more aware in his life, completing Project One Five. My life is my own, and so should this project be my own. My lucky number is 13, so I found it apropos to instead call my project, Project One Three. 100 Days, 300 Actions. I am a firm believer that there are four strands of life that make up each of us: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. Each of these must be nurtured in order to be a well-rounded and satisfied human being.

The Anti-Train: Day 14

Do you ever allow yourself a “rest day” from exercise or a “cheat day” from your diet? Do you feel guilty if/when you do either of these?

Let’s not discuss the exercise part of this equation, but I do allow myself a cheat meal (not day!) from my lifestyle change (not diet!). I generally don’t feel guilty if it’s planned, I feel guilty when I do more than one meal or it’s an unplanned “cheat”. I also don’t mind when I go out and eat with friends, since that’s a bit of a rarity these days, but my bigger issue is the eating out alone part of that equation. That is when I get especially guilty! The hard part for me has been learning to accept what is, learn from what prompted me to eat and move on to the next meal/day/whatever.
