I was joking. What are you getting when you go to Outback? It's so easy to cheat at that place.

Or do you cheat with moderation? |

I ALWAYS keep the meals under control and still stay within my daily macros. If you abide by some self made rules, a cheat meal once a week will actually be a good thing... mentally and it's always something to look forward to. Sundays are always a good day for me.

(Ok, who am I kidding, I start thinking about it Friday afternoon!!).
