Hi Everyone

I've been logging all week. I've accumulated around 4000 cals this week. I'm out this evening with some customers. I don't want to feel guilty as I will be having a few beers and some vodka and soda waters !!!
I've had a clean week however.

Is this ok ???

Bear in mind I'ce changed from drinkiong regularly and when I mean regularly...I was drinking virtually everyday !!!!

    Welcome to MFP.

    Don't ask what's ok and what not. There are only two mantras around here that I've learned so far
    - IIFYM - if it fits your macros
    - calories in - calories out

    So, log everything you eat and drink tonight and see to it, that you manage to have an overall deficit - at least from the whole week's point of view. Otherwise, worst thing that can happen is that you will hinder your weight loss - not a big deal. Decisions, decisions :wink:

    Go with the vodka / gin and seltzer (not tonic) and you'll have way less calories than beer. Just make room for it in your calories, either exercise it out or skip a meal.

    no reason to feel guilty...

    but how do you accumulate 4000 calories....that's eating almost 1k less a day than you should have...

    Basically I signed up Monday Morning and after a heavy weekend, I decided, that's it, I'm going to get back to it !

    My cal intake should be circa 2500 per day. However on the Monday and Tuesday I ate very light.

    I regularly workout 4-5 days a week. Elliptical and bodyweight training such as lunges, squats, mountain climbers, burpees and push-ups seem to do the trick and I feel well worked after this !

    Like I said I've now had to make big changes as my cheat evenings became cheat days, my cheat days became cheat weeks and the weeks just became cheat months for a long period of time !!!

    But you know its Friday today and I have been invited out for dinner and drinks !!!

    This ^^^^

    I have banked some cals over the week for a fabulous evening eating curry and drinking whatever the host provides when I walk through their door this evening.
    I work to weekly cals and it's worked for me for years now.

    Go and enjoy yourself!

    Hmm try not to do that too much...you need those calories to fuel your workout...

    That being said enjoy tonight...I think I will have a few myself...for me all along as long as I averaged a deficet through the week I was good..and overall from June till now I have maintained a good deficet even with my "nights out"

    Again have fun...vodka is always my choice...with soda water and lime...nom nom
