Working out so I can eat dinner

anikkim0915

DD and I went out to lunch... and I over ate... tho not nearly as bad as I normally would have... So now I am working out so I can eat dinner... Normally when I work out I use those calories burned for dessert... Not today!

Ohh well.. live and learn I guess

LOL! I just started here at MFP and just started counting calories this week and I am realizing in order to not go to bed hungry I'll need to work out every single day to afford dinner calories. I mean. I *can* eat dinner at 700 calories but it's a spartan dinner!

Must be the day for that I did the same thing. Sometimes I plan it that way. It makes me work hard and stay at it. I cardioed out a pretty good dinner for myself tonight:-)

I hear you! I was so happy I went to an hour-long Zumba class last night - I would have only had 268 calories for dinner, instead I had about 800! Like my dad says, I exercise for pie...lol

Well if you are sick you need to eat to keep your body fighting whatever is causing it to be sick... You can make up for what you ate on a day that you feel better.

Ugh, I need to work out to eat dinner as well! I have 475 cals left. Although I could eat dinner for that amount, I would much rather work out to have a bit more!

LOL-- I'm glad someone thinks like me. I think like this almost everyday so I can plan my meals accordingly.

Today is the first day I've had that problem. I usually work out at night. Apparently I don't eat enough during the day while at work...so when I get home and work out AFTER dinner, I end up with another 400 calories to eat!!!

I did that just this week! Had to actually skip dinner altogether and ran 1.5 hours on the elliptical. I was 700 calories over BEFORE dinner ever came around. I just watched a movie and drank lots of water. I wasn't hungry that night, but the next morning I was certainly more than ready to eat breakfast! :bigsmile:

I hated it though... def. not the way I prefer to live my new lifestyle. Learned my lesson I hope!

For whatever reason, yesterday I was very hungry all day - I ate some healthy snacks to get myself through but when I logged in everything I ate at 4pm, I only had 60 calories left! :sad: So, I bundled up (it was a bitter cold day here in Buffalo) and went for a 40 minute walk. I was sweating by the time i got home and I could have something more than an apple for dinner. Hate the hungry days but thank God for exercise!

I did C25k wk 3 and burned 300 calories... i already had 299 left... So yes I will have a lite dinner, but I will have a large salad (love the DOLE lite ceaser, only 270 calories for the entire bag) and soup....

Even if I didnt have the calories, I would not skip dinner.... I like food to much for that:)

Can't wait til it warms up in Seattle - I'll take a walk AFTER dinner. (Sorry to y'all that are getting hit by the big blizzard right now).

Same here. I did not have time to bring my lunch today so I got Chinese. I got chicken and veggies with no sauce or msg. It came with some rice and I ate some of it. I had to exercise so that I would have more that 250 for dinner.
