    I keep a diary of my weekly cals now. If I'm over one day (I was yesterday) then I just even it out over the week. It's only if you're over by 1000 at the end of the WEEK you have a problem :bigsmile: good luck!


    Great advice!

    It may make you raetain water and lose a little less weight this week, but it's not going to derail your weight loss progress. Consider it a lesson in hidden calories. Now that I'm tracking my food, I'm absolutely amazed at the fat and calories that I unknowingly consumed over the years. So, now you know that Pizza Hut is worse than you thought. That doesn't mean you can't have it ever again, it just means that it should be a rare treat and you should plan the rest of your diet around it. Eat light the rest of the week, drink plenty of water, schedule a couple extra workouts. I'm a firm believer that totally denying yourself bad foods that you enjoy only leads to binges and undue guilt.

    As everyone else said just learn and move on. We're only human :)

    The other thing to remember is that you don't necessarily digest and assimilate every calorie. Some does get passed through, depending on a variety of factors.

    Sometimes you need a shock to get you back on track.

    Good luck and stay strong!
    I'm sorry...what!? Where did you get the information that your body doesn't digest all the calories you consume? That's just ridiculous and you shouldn't be telling other users this unless you have proof.

    Lesson learned and move on....

    Exactly...

    I also check the calories before I eat things, this way...maybe you would have 1 slice instead of 3. Sometimes "cheating" is inevidable.

    Since havig my 3rd little girl i find myself restricted what excersie i can do as my back getsssss so sore. It has a pronounced dip in it and aches ALOT...
    Have you tried doing some core strengthening exercises? Pregnancy does a number on your back and you'll have to do a little bit of work to get those muscles back into shape, both abs and lower back. Your core muscles do a lot of work to keep your back straight and pain-free. There are some nice easy back and ab exercises you can do to ease into strengthening your core. That will in turn help your back ache less. My dad did a very simple (about 5 minutes) back and ab exercise routine every day for years, and he's 72 and going strong still. I'm not saying do 100 crunches or anything like that. :)

    As for the pizza, don't worry about it too much. We all have to eat the things we enjoy some of the time. Be glad you ate less than you used to in the past, and continue with healthy food. A treat day every now and then isn't a problem. This is a long term process.

    I agree with all those who say to learn by it. Give yourself permission to have a a crazy day once in a (long) while!!!
    I/we love pizza and we've started ordering the Large Pacific Veggie from Domino's. Only 110 calories and 20 mg of sodium for each slice. It's DELICIOUS!!!
    3 slices are just over 300 calories and only 60 mg of sodium... well within most anyones dinner calorie and sodium allowance.
