SUPER BOWL HELP

skywa

Eat healthy all day until you get there. Make sure you dont get to the party hungry.

Take a place of food, eat it slowly. Wake 30 mins before you go back for seconds.

Know your TDEE. Mine is 2100. So as long as you eat under this you shouldnt gain any weight.

Enjoy yourself. This is just one day. You did good all week and will conintue to do well tomorrow!

could always make a game of it?

every touchdown, you have to drink 8 ox of water before you can have anything else to eat/drink

can only eat/drink "unhealthy" stuff when there is a fumble/interception...or during commercials

anyhow, just something to make you concious of what you are putting in your mouth and when!

Personally I plan on eating/drinking whatever i want today since its a special occasion. I already alotted for 5 beers in my calories. BUT I make it a rule that I have to drink a full 8 oz of water before each beer and then some during too....helps me to not drink as much

Eat something before u go, that way u will feel full before ur tempted to eat junk food.

I am glad someone started this blog. I heard people eat more on Super Bowl Sunday than Thanksgiving! Yikes. Lots of good words of wisdom here. thx!

Cheer for the Giants. By the 2nd quarter, you'll be so upset you won't even want to eat anything.

GO PATS GO!

It's the Super Bowl. I'm not worried about calories on special occasions. One day will not do any damage, and in fact, one day of eating to much can actually be a positive thing as far as your metabolism is concerned.

So my advice is to relax and enjoy yourself.

Sip the seltzer or drink some water to keep you feeling fuller than you really are. (I will try to tell that to myself later!)

I got a workout in already...hard part for me is that the party is at MY house..lol So can't really skip all the food...I've already entered everything in and it looks like I'll go over by probably 200 calories but I have had a really good week so not gonna worry too much....and if I end up eating or drinking less than I think...well, bonus!!!

I am using today as a cheat day. I have logged my bad food that I can. However, when I eat people's recipes I can't log it. I'm not logging it all today because of that. I know I am going to g over.

Don't stress too much. I've already forgiven myself and allowed myself to not hate myself later. You have already worked out which is awesome and you are fully conscious of what is going on.... you will be fine. Try to enjoy yourself, your friends, and the game.

JUST GET BACK ON TRACK TOMORROW! :-)

Drink plenty of water and eat veggies. If that fails then stay away from buffalo wings and fruity drinks. I am going to a part as well. I am going to eat before I go and enjoy one cocktail (rum and diet coke). Good luck and don't be yourself up. You can always work it off tomorrow.

P.S. GOOOO GIANTS!!!!

If there are wings then their will be celery.... do you know that you burn 6 calories digesting celery and an 8 inch stalk of celery is 6 calories! You can't just eat celery 24 hours a day but on a munchie day like today that is a great option!

I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy your day. Get back in your routine tomorrow. So what's the worse that's going to happen? You eat twice your TDEE? You gain 4 - 7 lbs when you step on the scale tomorrow due to water retention, and lose all of it but a small portion over the next 3 or 4 days as your body releases the water?

If you're old enough, have a couple drinks, that will help the water retention issue.

If you're really up tight about things, you can create an extra deficit over the following week to compensate for whatever damage you think you do today.

Sometimes it's good to disengage and enjoy.

AGREED!

I would get in an extra workout before you go... Then set a plan. Maybe limit the quanity stay away from fatty dips and chips stick to protien items like wings and meatballs etc. Then only eat a few of those. Look up the calories on them before you go so you can be confident on what you filling up on. If they have a veggie tray hit that first so you can fill up on the good stuff. Drink light beer or straight liqour with no mixers. Give yourselfl a limit before you go and make an effort to stick to it. Try to think moderation??? Thats my best ideas...good luck.

Spent 2 hrs on the elliptical this morning so I won't feel guilty about later on!!!!! Really don't care who wins the SuperBowl..........let the better team win I guess!!!! Looking forward to the lobster tail and Filet Mignon and all the yummy finger foods!!! Plus a few beers!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Its the SuperBowl, the Giants are playing and calories don't count! ENJOY! It's 1 day a year!

PS GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

Not going to happen again!! Go pats!

cspbigdawg

I'm also in the same boat. I am bringing my water bottle and some healthy snacks. I also have been watching what I eat. Just remember a few hours of "fun" can be had without going off our new life style changes.. Good Luck!!
