Cheat Days

It's the day you look forward to every week. The one day a week that you can pull out your sweatpants and indulge in every guilty pleasure you've been salivating over. This holy grail of days is the cheat day.

This past Monday, I gave in to my hankering for pizza. That melted cheese and perfectly cut circles of pepperoni were just calling my name. After a week of protein/veggie/brown rice, it sounded like a hot, succulent, cheesy piece of heaven...I had to have it! I jumped into my car and raced towards the nearest Little Caesars for the fantastic deal of a large pie perfection for just $5.

Ten minutes later, I found myself sprinting up three flights of stairs with the smell of garlic breadsticks drifting through my nostrils. I reached my door and struggled to find my house key with the fear of my cheat day treat getting cold. I broke through the doorway and immediately ran towards the refrigerator for the ice-cold liquid called Pepsi a.k.a pizza's best friend.

I finally made it to the couch, remote in hand. I surfed through channel land and stopped on my favorite show. With Law and Order:SVU, fabulous fatty food and a cold beverage, my cheat day had arrived.
