    Since you sound a little stressed and frustrated, I would say yes, go ahead and workout. Even though it might keep you up a little longer, you will feel much better.

    I've never regretted working out. In fact, I think every single time, I am glad I did it.

    Hey!

    why not go for something easier and commit to going hard tomorrow? I am a huge fan of shark week right now, so on commercials, I did some strength training exercises.
    Then just now I finished doing this cheesy 8 minute ab workout from YouTube.
    Once you get a little momentum going you may change your mind.

    Either way - don't feel bad. Tomorrow is a new day!

    Honestly, as late as it is, I would suggest starting the day tomorrow with a good workout and staying under your calories for the rest of the week. Studies have suggested that working out in the hour or two before bedtime can interfere with your sleep.

    Just don't beat yourself up over it. Going over once in a while (even by 500+ calories) isn't going to kill your diet. In fact, if you have it set to lose 1 lb a week, 500 cal over the goal will put you right at maintenance for the day. So it's not too bad, really. Just start fresh tomorrow and move forward.

    I ask myself if I've ever regretted working out once I'm done with the work out, and the answer is always no. So, I force myself on those days. You'll be so glad that you did it once you're done.

    THIS. I almost always (talking 98% here) am glad that I worked out. You'll feel better, be more in control, and have a new tool in your tool box for stressful situations. you can do it!

    I just did. I HATE working out in the evening but I overslept this morning and with work, I got home late. So I worked out at 9pm. I did something sort of light. You can do a run, or a yoga video. Just something to get you feeling better. Totally worth it.
    Get off of here and just do it!!:bigsmile:

    Meet yourself halfway--and just do a 10 - 20 min. workout. That's better than nothing :) My hubby and I just finished a 51/2 mile bike ride and I'm already thinking about my 6:00 am bootcamp class in the morning.

    I wouldn't. My adrenalin gets going too much, and I can't wind down. If I worked out this late, I wouldn't fall asleep for hours. Way too many hours, and then I'd be junk tomorrow. I'd chalk it up to a lousy day, and start fresh tomorrow.

    Thanks for all these great viewpoints - It is now 10:24 and I decided to NOT workout and just try to recoop the calories tomorrow with a hard workout and a slight reduction in calories for tomorrow. AND I'M ALSO NOT WEIGHING MYSELF!

    just do it.

    what he said. I do morning cardio and evening cardio, usually don't start till 9pm, it fills the evening time with something other than sitting on my butt and helps keep you from snacking.

    For me it would depend on what my last few days looked like. If I had been close or over my goals for the previous few days I would work out. If had a day or two where I had been way under I would just look at it is a natural calorie cycle and be over for the day.
