So I WAYYY overdid lunch went to lunch with some ladies I haven't seen in years and we went to my weakness I am bloated and yucky feeling downing water and am trying to do a ton of workouts...

I am at -45 calories right now and still need to eat a light dinner. or I will wake up at midnight searching for food...and that is never good.

Is it bad if I do more cardio? I did weight training already in circuits so am just wondering if it is possible to overdo workouts? I don't want to mess up the good that I have been doing! But I also don't want to do something bad by working out too much.

    having 1 blip will not ruin all of your hard work, so I wouldn't worry too much about it :)

    if you are still a little concerned, then do some light cardio, burn a 100+ calories.
    stick some music on, have a bit of a dance, it might make you feel a little happier as well as burning some calories <3

    How's your deficits for the rest of the week? If you average under I'd be inclined to give yourself a break :-)

    Maybe just take a nice casual walk & burn some calories, That'll give you some extra for dinner, But I really wouldn't worry too much over it!

    I'm with you on that. I've burned tons of calories dancing and not even recognizing I was exercising until the sweat was pouring, lol. don't worry if one-day mess-ups ruined all your good, I would be so out of luck, lol. good job on your progress thus far. amazing effort.

    Just dance is way too much fun to think of as excercise! (its a nice bonus that it works up a sweat). Also excercising twice a day isn't bad, a lot of people break up their excercise into 2 parts. I did yoga a few days ago and then went running with my sister an hour later. Two hours of excercise and I never would have tried that 6 months ago. I didn't even hurt the next day but i sure was hungry that night.

    Walk. Or a 30 min run. Burns a heap of calories.

    Then with a light dinner.... should work out about even xxx
