Did anyone have a bad day this week were they had a moment of weakness and felt bad about it afterwards

mine was today, were I ate too many sweets and it ruined my calorie allowance for the rest of the day meaning a good meal was then out of the question or it would have taken me over my daily allowance

    I didn't complete a workout the other night and decided to double up to try to make up for it. I did stay below calories but I hate when I miss workouts because then I feel sluggish. =/

    I went and got Sushi for lunch, the roll I got was huge and I ate the whole thing even though I was stuffed. I have no clue how many calories but i'm sure my calories are shot for the day. Oh well it was delicious!

    Get a a real good workout and forget about it. It's just one day and it will give you something to think about the next time you get that craving.

    I'll admit that I had a horrible binge early this morning so bad that I ate pretty much everything I needed in one sitting.

    today was my day too. I had to get up at 4:30 so I started my day way tooooo early. Then went to the movies (I did try to control myself..ordered a small popcorn and threw half a way) Then my friend took me out for my birthday...yum chips and guac.... I just keep telling myself this is a life long journey not a sprint. I will get where I want to be eventually. :happy:

    I set myself 5 days working out a week, but with the intention of doing 6 just incase I have to miss a day, so I don't feel too bad about it

    When your day starts that early I think you are really up against it to keep within your limits, all the extra hours of being up and awake probably took care of that popcorn anyway

    Yes, a couple times.

    Today, I went to Royal Farms and got 5 piece chicken tenders and western fries.

    I have also been snacking on stuff and not really counting it in some cases the past few days.

    I went to a burrito place and they have listed the calories for each topping. I tried to make it under 500 calories but they never mentioned on the calorie sheet the huge amounts of just everything or the rice they add automatically! I was kinda bummed it ended up way over the calories I wanted ( around 950 or so). I felt even worse when I ate the whole thing. No dinner for me after a lunch like that.

    Yesterday, I went way over calories. I've been having some issues with staying under calories because I don't work out enough.

    Mine wasn't an eating or a "going over" issue, but a low-exercise week. This is my first summer living where the temps are over 100 most days by early June - where I was, it was rare to have a 100 degree day. I think that is the cause of my energy lag, but whatever, I need to overcome it! I need to make myself MOVE. I did a challenge in June and did pretty good, so maybe that is what I need to do again.

    At least we are all on here and starting to recognize when we messed up a little. It's all about educating ourselves and we all seem to be learning all the time, unlike most people

    ^^^Yes, extreme heat sucks the life right out of you. Same thing happens to me and everyone I know each summer. :ohwell:

    I would bust my calorie limit too if I didnt jump on my exercise bike. I think it would be impossible to keep within the limit right now without working out, so don't be too hard on yourself

    Yes, and thank you for this opportunity to confess my sins. I had been so set on not screwing up this weekend that I blew Friday night on a sugar overload because of a two-hour workout delay and the absence of my husband, who is usually my conscience. I don't get it - I used to be adaptable, and now I'm a slave to the Routine. Starting over tomorrow is a given, but I still have to get through tonight...

    Sometimes I absolutely hate my username.

    must be a bad day for everyone I think. I had to do an hour of cardio, just so I could take my calories down enough to have a small bowl of cereal
