"Rest Day" hehe or Cheat Day

Today is a cheat day...don't over do it! You will be sorry, so I have heard.
I will post a bit later on some more of the "basics" I have learned.
For now just remember to still get your 8 glasses of water in and also think about what you are eating before you eat it. Don't just cheat with anything and everything!
My husby and I have decided that for now, Sundays will be a day were we are not as strict and relax a bit regarding food for now. This gives us a bit of a push during the hard spots to know we can eat it on Sunday if we really want.
See ya later!

Edit:
There are a few tips that will help you stay more zone friendly:
1. Eat a Zone meal or snack within one hour after waking.
2. Eat every 4 to 6 hours after a meal or 2 to 2½ hours after a snack, whether you are hungry or not.
3. Assess your hunger level and mental focus before every meal or snack. Lack of hunger and clarity of mind are signs you are staying in the Zone.
4. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
5. Start every meal or snack with low-fat protein. Next add favorable carbohydrates (i.e. vegetables and fruits) and good fats (i.e. olive oil). Remember, a typical serving of low-fat protein fits in your palm of your hand and is no thicker than your hand (about 3 ounces for most females and 4 ounces for most males) A typical snack contains 1 ounce of protein for both women and men.
