January 3, Starting to Zig Zag--heather

The best thing I learned from eating when I was hungry from October through December was that I could eat that way and not gain weight. It shows me that when I DO reach my goal weight, I can maintain pretty easily as long as I keep up a moderate gym routine. That said, it's a new year and time to lose weight again, so I'm going to start calorie cycling (also called zig zagging) tomorrow. The premise is that you eat the most on the days when you're most active, so that makes Saturday my BIG day. That's the plan, I'll stick pretty close to it.
