Those days....

So this post might sound like I'm being hard on myself, and maybe I am, but I'd like to know if I'm the only one or if I just need to lighten up some.
So I started 30 Day Shred last Wednesday, and I couldn't even finish it. This stung...a lot. I knew I was out of shape, but I'm only nineteen years old, I should be able to keep up. But I decided to stick with it. The next day, I decided to go to the gym and Friday, I completed Day Two. Still hard, but now that I knew how hard, I could tell what would become easier, what would become better, etc. I felt so much better that I actually completed it, that I was excited for day three. Did day three yesterday (saturday), and I could do all of circuit 3's cardio without stopping but then I took today (sunday) off (had a haunted hayride out with my co-workers/friends). Like I know you are supposed to have rest days and all, but in the five days it's been since I've started, I've already taken two? Plus, since I was out with friends, we stopped at taco bell and even though I didn't eat as much as I normally do, several hours later, I feel guilty for not working out and not eating right. Does anyone else ever feel like that? Like you feel bad/guilty for eating out or not exercising that day? I plan on getting up earlier than usual tmrw to put in a little extra time on the Shred, do a little make-up, burn off that taco bell!

I feel guilty when I don't work out, even on planned rest days. I have been under my cals all week and so today I took my mom out to lunch and I couldn't even order a regular entree. I got the 'under 500 cals' entree and only ate half of it. I did allow myself 2 bites of dessert though. I felt so guilty after that I only ate around 1000 cals today and I'm 6'2. It's like I don't know how to NOT feel guilty when I eat something bad or don't work out.

I think you're on the right track. When you do eat over your allow calories, just start clean and do what you can to make up for it.
