Just as the God of Abraham created the earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th, so should your sore buttocks and calves. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done well for 6 days and on the 7th, you can rest and do whatever you want.
Chill out, get a massage, eat what you like.
Yes. Even if that means cake or pasta, if that’s what you fancy.
You see, it’s really important you don’t become tyrannical and stop yourself from enjoying life and have fun like normal people, even though you’re on a quest to look like a swimsuit model or Thor.
If you want ice cream, go get ice cream. KFC? Go get a dinner plate, but not a bucket. Even if you want noodles and bread, go for it. Anything you want within reason. You can reward yourself with what you like as long as you’re not doing it to a point where you undo your entire week of effort.
For me, I usually just eat whatever I want, though I generally don’t want stuff that makes me feel sick no matter how yummy it is. But if I have a craving for something, I’ll go have it.
Some of the fit ladies I know prefer to reward themselves in other ways that does not involve food. Like getting a manicure/pedicure, facial, massage, or buying themselves a nice little black dress.
Whatever makes you feel like you did a great job, go do that!
It’s important to reward yourself so that you don’t lose sight of your reason for living. That way you’ll get right back on the program when the new week starts and know that you have something good waiting for you at the end of that week.
So what do you think is a good way to reward oneself? Let me know in the comments section below!
