I overate by 500 calories yesterday....

....... and I don't care.

I think it's important to never feel guilty when you decide to go overboard once in a while. I am diligent and have maintained for over 2 years. Every once in a while I do this. I don't know why. Yesterday was a good day starting out. In the evening I went crazy eating.

I should note this was a conscious decision. I was well within my calorie goals and still felt hungry (probably because I started a new lifting program). I just ate like a gluttonous fool and enjoyed every bite.

Since lifting yesterday today will be cardio.

Life is good, don't take it to seriously.

Yeah, just two weeks ago I overate by 3,000! However, I felt pretty guilty about that.

Me too. But I didn't get a workout in yesterday. Spent my time at work and then with my son. I didn't over eat but went out to eat. Had some ribs and bread that put me over. Had I picked a steak or chicken I would have been either been under or right on track. And I don't care either. It was one meal.
Did get a 3 mile 25 minute run and 10 minute walk in this morning.

This was me yesterday too! I figured I really needed the extra calories so ate a bunch of chips (500 calories). Had a lot of energy today and had a great work out.

Love these responses. The most important thing no matter the endeavor is to have some fun. I get to shovel snow today!!!!!!!! Whoo Hoo Let it Snow!!!!!!!

NOTE: For those of you who live in warm states snow is a cold white substance that falls from the sky in winter. It accumulates on everything. One has to use a shovel from time to time to keep this accumulation from turning into ice as it is compacted and melts in the Sun. Failure to do so may result in your falling down which hurts and if you seriously injury yourself you then must lay on the cold cold ground until rescue can arrive.

I'm glad this wasn't a post of you saying that you over ate by 500 calories and then were freaking out about it.

Sometimes stuff happens. sometimes you eat more. But it's a new day today and you have a good attitude about it.

Shoveling snow is a pretty intense workout when it's dense snow. Ugh. I remember from last year! Lucky so far, no snow here (NJ).

500 cal is nothing, go for a run!

I do it and add it to the next day. Allows me to eat pizza with friends.

Do you mean that you subtract the calories from the next day? I would find that a bit oppressive. But, to each her own.

Snow is fine, I just wish it would get above 10 degrees. Even for someone from Minnesota, it's bitterly cold, and I have 70 pounds less insulation this winter.

Now that we have some decent snow here, it's too cold to go skiing

I ate a whole dominos pizza and had wine! Felt a little bad about it but I went spinning this morning and did insanity max 30 so feel a little less guilty ☺️

It's ok to go overboard once in a while, but if it's every day - then that's a problem!

You have to enjoy the "no no" foods once in while. If I thought I could never eat cake again I'd be a depressed nutcase.

CassidyScaglione

unavoidable sometimes.... I have a once a month "Go for it" day that i am calling the "Ate-th" lol. Usually i still land under or around maintenance.

KareninLux

Me too... this past Saturday. Had a stern chat with myself and went for a three hour hike on Sunday.

elisa123gal

Isn't that what maintenance is all about? Balance? You overeat one day…workout more the next or eat lean.. so on so forth? Not staying perfect each day… isn't that a diet mentality … yikes -- who wants to live like that.
