Hello everyone !

Yesterday was easter Sunday as everyone knows and I had far to much BBQ food and too much alcohol !
I have let myself down...

But i'm back on MFP this morning so surely this must mean I am ready to put yesterdays mistakes behind me and refresh...

I intend to burn a little more off today than normal days more for a good feeling about myself and to get me kick started again !

To any of you who may have "cheated" yesterday with it been with too many chocolates or rich food Monday is the start of a new week we CAN do this !

xx

    Stop looking at it as a cheat. Living healthier has to be looked at realistically. You allowed yourself to enjoy a holiday. No guilt needed.
  • I bet a lot of us cheated yesterday. I did!

    Do you feel good afterwards? I don't. I am not worried about the cheat, I was planning that, but I feel sick to the stomach today.

    Back on the horse today!

    It wasn't worth it, haha.

    I wouldn't call this cheating. It's OK to consume more calories than usual on special occasions. As long as you compensate for it the days after you'll be fine.

    Funniest thing is I did enjoy it while I was eating it but afterwards I felt like a big flump and didnt have no energy !

    I am moving on thats why in my post I have turned my cheating into a positive outlook for today and the rest of the week ! :D

    I did that last weekend for some odd reason. Like someone else mentioned, I felt like crud afterwards. Then, when I got on the scale last monday, the sins from my weekend were obvious. I had gained back 2 lbs. Then I REALLY felt like crud! So, I worked hard and planned carefully and managed to lose the 2 I gained, plus another .9 more. This monday sure feels much better then last monday! Happiness!

    I definitely "cheated" yesterday too. But the break was nice, and I indulged in foods that I know I don't get to have but once or twice a year. I enjoyed and savoured, went for a walk, and now, like you, am planning on getting back on track this week.

    Put it behind you, and move forward :-D

    I'm going to have lunch let it to settle then burn burn burn !

    xx Thankyou for replies so far means a lot !
  • I didnt cheat, I was totaly realistic and knew ahead of time that I wasnt going to drive myself crazy counting calories. I enjoyed the day, my family, and a few treats. Saturday I worked out a little harder, and I am doing the same today to make up for the overage. I surprisingly turned down alot of things, I ate well and while everyone else was complaining about how bloated they felt, I felt good. To me if I expect and plan ahead it is not "cheating"
