I think that because it was the weekend and the 4th of July weekend that I didn't really pay much attention to anything. I didn't work out on the 11th day but ate really well. Then on day 12 and 13 I didn't eat well or exercise. I admit that it was nice to not have to count calories but at the end of the day I didn't feel good at all. It is so surprising that by not eating well or exercising you just don't feel good. I didn't have energy and went all lazy. I didn't like it.
But those three days have given me a new kind of motivation. Its not that I have to eat these many calories to lose weight, and exercise this much to lose weight. Now it is I want to eat these many calories and exercise this much because I want to live healthy. I want this to be a new lifestyle, not just a temporary change. I want to have a healthy life.

While I do think a little break isn't so bad, it always does the same thing to me that it does to you too. I remember one time I went 40 days without sugar and when I finally broke, I was the pissiest, tiredest (not a word!), in-a-funk girl ever. And sometimes it makes getting back on the horse so much harder! It's good to get these wakeup calls though... that eating good isn't just for weight loss, but for how it makes us feel.
