And for the past few years, Friday has been date night. Now that we have teenagers who are willing to watch their little siblings, date night has been a break for us to get out and talk about stuff, make plans, dream a little, and just be us for an hour or two once a week.
Now, with baby Octavia added to the mix, date night necessitates the unnaturally un-ergonomic carrying of the extruded plastic carseat, and the jiggling of a sometimes semi awake darling, but otherwise life goes on.
While we try to eat clean most of the time, Friday night is usually cheat night. We don't eat huge amounts, and neither of us is in the mode of "get all the sugar you can!", but if there's something we've been craving that week, that's when we get a Tim Horton's doughnut, a slice of poundcake, or, tonight, Fatburger :)
Cheat day helps us stick to our diet in two ways - one, as a pressure valve - you're not tempted to cheat during the week, because you know you'll be able to indulge later on, and two, it reminds you that wheat and sugar really make you tired and feel logy... :) Reminds me why we are doing this!
