So I had a horrible dinner... my day started off fairly well until someone brought chinese food, and although it was ridiculously good, and momentarily enjoyable, I went over 400 calories. Being that I'm small, and am trying to lose 10-15 pounds, 400 calories really makes a difference.
The question is... since I didn't have time to work out (it's 3am), would it be viable to work out like a madwoman tomorrow morning to try to alleviate the situation? Maybe it has already turned to fat and I'll just be going into starvation mode...

400 extra calories won't hurt your weight loss goal. If you look at it from a weekly standpoint, you can still meet your calorie deficit for whatever amount of weight you're trying to lose per week.0

I would let it go and continue what you were doing prior to the Chinese food. Don't "punish" yourself for a little freedom once in a while. Stick to whatever routine you've been doing.
Tonight my wife and I had our first date night in quite a while. She's 37 weeks pregnant with our 2nd and we had an overnight sitter so we took advantage. Nice restaurant, 3 courses, 2 liters of water, dessert, AND....on the way home we stopped to get a couple of movies and once home I ate an entire bag of Almond M&M's...1400 calories. So don't feel bad. Just get back on track.0 -
400 calories every now and then won't derail you at all. And it takes longer than a few hours to turn to fat. If it makes you feel better, get a workout in! But don't stress it too much. We need these kinds of moments to stay sane during this journey0
