Does anyone take a day off?

I do not factor one in, I leave them for the life happens days. My mother is awful at sabotaging me so I know they're gonna happen. So I'm just as good as I can until it happens and then count it as a day off. Less stressful that way.

Been using MFP for 85 days, that's not long but know days off. I'm afraid if I do that it will just be the beginning of a backward slide.
I have gone over on my calories once but I logged it like always. Just stick with it.

Every Sunday. The past month since I've been determined to lose I have been working out 6 days a week as opposed to 3-4 days. Now I sometimes find it hard to NOT workout on Sundays. But I know it's good to at least have one day to rest my whole body. Now it is my "active" rest day.

ETA: I thought you were just talking about working out then i read some posts after my reply. Today I ate at my in-laws and decided to enjoy myself and had some cake and high fat mac and cheese casserole. I haven't done that in a long time so I don't feel bad. Usually I don't even want that stuff anymore since being on this site. It's ok BUT I will not take a day off this site, like it oo much. I am always going to log in and log whatever I ate.

I've been really slack about logging, but I know my macro ratios well enough to stay more or less within the right limits. As far as cheating, my biggest cheat so far was having black beans when I went to Qdoba and then having a small hot apple cider in the same day. I'm on a low carb diet so both of those were a treat for me. :P Other than that day though, I've done really well even when I neglect to track - which usually happens when I go out for wings or something!
