So I had a crappy
day yesterday. I did not feel like exercising or doing much else. So I didn't. Instead I over ate. Still gotta figure out by how much though. Anyways, if you have a bad day eating or working out do you try to make up for it the next day by working out more?

side cramps?
Lately, I have been getting a bad cramp in my right side during cardio. I usually do the elliptical machine for 45 minutes, 6 days a week.
