Due to time constraints and an oncoming cold, I took the day off from exercise. I was going to my dad's birthday party, so I ate light for breakfast and lunch, but I wasn't expecting to consume nearly two thousand calories between dinner, cake, and ice cream. Oh well, back on it tomorrow. I really need to avoid my parents house. Seems their lightest meals are around 1,000 calories and they always ask me if I want one of the six varieties of ice cream they always seem to have in the freezer.

Hopefully this doesn't set me back more than a week. Somebody tell me this is Ok and no reason to give up.

    One day shouldn't set you back. Just choose to do the right things tomorrow. It's possible it would be more of a mental setback than a physical one, so don't let it get to you. It's definitely not a reason to give up.

    Look, one night of over-eating is not gonna blow the whole thing. Tomorrow is another day, just resolve to exercise a little more, drink a little more water.....YOU GOT THIS!

    Not a horrible thing to go over your calories. Nice to fool the body once in awhile, just not to make it an everyday thing. Fix your broken wagon and get back on it tomorrow. When I have super bad days I just make sure I drink about 16 glasses of water instead of 8. Or you can work extra hard at the gym tomorrow.

    Not to worry we all fall off the wagon some more than others. I usually fall on a friday as at my work I have chips and I LOVE CHIPS!! But I am still losing or even maintaining a week here or there. Don't beat yourself up, totally not worth it

    :ohwell: you know what - what's done is done, let's make sure you don't do the same thing tomorrow. not that this will make you feel better, but it was a BIRTHDAY and that's the sort of occasion where it's hard to not partake in all the fun and festive foods!
    at least it was your Dad's bday and not just you hiding out in the house with beer and ice cream (oh - that's me :laugh: sometimes!)

    I once went to the Keg and had 5000 calories in 1 meal. It will be ok. Just work out extra hard the next couple days and it will be like nothing ever happened.
