How many of you blew it today????

Me too. My wife wasn't feeling well so we didn't go out to dinner. I had just been smashed in the mouth while wrestling with my son and didn't feel like cooking diner. Instead, I wiped out a bag of chips with salsa and sour cream then ate way too much frozen pizza.

To make matter worse, the gym was inexplicably closed when I got there this morning so I had to go back home to get ready for work and I didn't get to work out. OTOH, I brought my mountain bike, running shoes and tennis racket to work so I know I'll be able to do something active this afternoon. I am re-doubling my efforts to get back on track today!

when you say you blew it 500 calories does that mean you went over the net calories (say I'm supposed to eat 1,200 calories but i really 1,500) or is it after exercise in the Calories remaining (does it say -500)?

Yes, 500 over, after exercise...but I feel better today especially after reading your posts and knowing that I was not alone in my "shame". :bigsmile: But today is another day, I feel better. Got on my treadmill this morning for one hour and had a delicious and healthy breakfast, oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts Yummy!!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!! (the Godiva's are right behind me right now screaming my name...depending on how I do today I will allow myself one piece!!) :happy:

Hey guys just think of it this way -

You have a daily food debt of 500 calories (if you are on the pound a week plan)

If you go over by 500 calories you are staying the same weight - this will be your maintenance plan.

I could not find the nutrition information for my Lillie Belle Farms Chocolate, I'll have to write them, but I was pretty confident that one piece would not be 742 calories, so I had one last night before bedtime and it never tasted better. I love the really odd things so it's a soft chocolate that melts in your mouth with a hint of real blue cheese--not just the flavor--in the mix. Sounds like something in a Harry Potter Jelly Bean, I know, but they are wonderful and I appreciated that my husband went through the effort to get it for me. I have my sister up for the week end, we're going to the zoo, then a rugby game and birthday tomorrow, so I'll have to work out extra hard tonight and Sunday, and Monday, and Tuesday, but I'm going to take a lunch and snack with me to the zoo and to the game so I'm going to try my best to stay within some reasonable numbers. Wish me luck....
