I feel awful! I need advice to get back!

I just got back from a four day conference in San Francisco, and I feel really gross! On the upside I did a lot of walking all across the city, on the down side I ate so much bread, cheese, high calorie foods. Now what! How do I get back on track???

It's a new day. Start fresh in the morning with a healthy breakfast and a great big jug of water! Make a good choice for lunch and try to exercise tomorrow as well!!! You'll see, it comes right back to you!!!

Good job on the walking.. .that will surely help!

start now....one day at a time....and don't dwell on yesterday!

I agree with everyone, don't let a bad streak break you, we all have those times, just get right back on track and you will feel better about yourself soon.

When I've had a similar situation I focus on starting the day with a good workout and breakfast. Follow my food intake close and drink plenty of water. I do the same thing even with a one day off track.

Real simple. Get back on track at the next meal. Take it one step at a time, one bad meal is hardly the end of the world, no reason to throw in the towel.

Learn from your mistake. Don't do it again
Anytime you have to eat fast food I recommend subway. On wheat bread of course.

just jump back in it.

I agree, jump back to it. And drink lots and lots of water. Itll help re-regulate your body and clear out all of the extra sodium you probably ate. Im going to NY next week and Im super nervous about how Im going to manage it. Trying to eat well and get in a good workout while out of town is going to be extremely difficult for me.

I was in the same situation 5 day conference in San Francisco! You'll be fine with all the walking you had to do around the city, you'll be surprise how that offset all those calories you think you endured! Start anew today!

For me, it's HARD to get back on track after having even one day off. It's way easier for me to stay on track then to get back on track. One thing that always helps is to keep reminding myself that it only takes just one good day to get back on. So make tomorrow your one good day and then just continue after that.

Plus, drink lots and lots of water and in a few days most of the weight you put on (if you did) will likely go away.

Remember - you only need one good day...... (that's what I need anyway). Good luck!

I think part of the challenge is being able to get past our "transgressions" (lol for lack of more appropriate terminology!) and move on, get back on track. It happens to the best of us...I would even go so far as to say that it's healthy to let go every once in while. Once you're able to bounce back from a bad period you will know that you're that much more in control. Good luck! Just keep remembering how well you've done so far!

Thanks for all the love and support!!! I am back! I had a healthy breakfast and I purchased an HRM that calculated my calorie burn!

First, you calm down. This is not an 'all or nothing' business.

Then you just go back on plan NOW. No, you don't wait for tomorrow. No, you don't give yourself a blowout before going back on plan. You just get back on plan, NOW.

Any missteps are what they are. They're over and done with. All that matters is what you do NOW.

Too many of us are rigid, blcak and white thinkers. We ate 25 more calories at lunch than we wanted to and hey, the day is shot to hell! NO, NO IT'S NOT. Just get right back on the plan. This is NOT an all or nothing, zero-sum game. It's a process. It's about decisions we make in the here and now.

So make a decision.
