,,,does more exercise at night to earn enough calories for a bowl of cereal? :bigsmile: I guess I should try "setting aside" calories during the day for a before bed snack!

    Considering your goal is a bowl of cereal, i'd say you're in pretty good shape!!! ;)

    Nope, I've done a little more exercise at night to earn myself a little treat before bed. But you have much more self control than I do if it's for a bowl of cereal. I wish I could say that's what I exercised for. :tongue:

    Oh, Margarita! I think I would need to do a bit more exercise to earn that though! :laugh:

    I prelog my food at night, so I dont go over & have to work for more. But I've never worked for more. I just drink water and wait until the next time. But there is nothing wrong with workin out to eat more! Burning cals is good :)

    I've done some cruches/umping jacks so I can have a beer before. :)

    I hve pushed it to do something extra in the evening so I could have a snack. Nothing wrong with that. Especially if you are thinking bowl of cereal!

    Nope. Not the only one at all. I don't do it all the time, but I have done it. Sometimes it's an extra walk with the dogs, other times I get out the "Just Dance Kids" for the Wii and make my hooligans dance with me.

    this morning i burned 711 cal at the gym so i could have "fair food" at the county fair today. still went over, but only by 30.

    it's gotta be something more significant than cereal for me to work for it :noway:

    I have in the past but then always talk myself out of eating back the calories

    It's usually either a dinner I didn't plan for, or a couple adult beverages. ;)
