Don't worry! It happens on days like today. Whenever I find myself in this situation, I try to get in an extra 20-30 min of really good, sweat dripping cardio. But, I also know that tomorrow is a new day and I'll refocus and not stress, so don't stress, it'll be ok.

What are you currently doing for exercise now?

Interval training. But I wouldn't try to go for all 800 calories. Do whatever exercise you are supposed to do today. Splurging once in a while for a special occasion is not the end of the world. Trying to jump up and exercise all your calories out is REALLY unhealthy, and it makes you think of eating as something that needs to be punished. In the future, log your meal FIRST, see what's going on, and adjust as necessary. That's what I do.

Then do that. If that's your normal routine, and you try to get 800 calories off, you're going to be very, very sorry tomorrow! (and may miss your next few workouts)
