    I try to exercise as much as I can to build up my calorie bank and eat as lightly as I can before, I enjoy myself during, and I log after it's all said and done (or eaten and drunk).

    Tomorrow is another day. I can always do another workout!

    To gain fat (not water) you would need to eat not only to mainenance but an extra 3500 on top. Assuming you are on 1lb a week so a defict of 500, that means a huge 4000 calories.

    That is not going to happen,

    You aren'r going to live the rest of this new healthy life never going out to visit friends, so just enjoy it.

    Good point. I will definitely not be eating 4,000 calories and I'm getting ready to get out there for a run and Day 7 of the shred.

    Just getting all this feedback from you all really makes me feel like I can go into tonight stronger and better prepared! I really appreciate it!

    Enjoy the heck out of yourself, do not feel guilty (that will ruin it), and drink lots of water.

    I have a splurge day, on average, every other week. Some days I'm just a bit over, some days I'm under, and once in awhile, I'll go all out,

    Just keep up the rest of your discipline - water, rest, exercise, logging.

    If you go over just shake it off. Tomorrow is a new day, no good will come from dwelling on it. Last week before I went I did an extra set of exercising to give me a buffer.

    you cant keep telling yourself "tomorrow is a new day". Set yourself up for success. Have a small healthy meal before you go if you are concerned about what will be served, that way you won't be tempted to over do it.

    I have went over by up to 1,000 calories and went right back on track the next day :) It will be ok - just get back into your normal routine the next morning :)

    I would say just be sensible and make sure to manage your portions.
    if you find you've eaten a LOT, then make it up with a little harder exercise work the next day.
    Everyone cant be perfect every day!

    I ended up emailing here to see what I could bring and she told me what we were having so I pre-tracked a guesstimate. Ended up going over for the day, but you know what? If I hadn't been thinking about what I was eating, I would have gone over by SO much more.

    Now, onto today and feeling good! Thanks again for the encouragement!
