    Didn't do too bad! Only had two slices of pizza, a few wings and a handful of chips with dip. I mostly drank wine coolers, so that's where the majority of my calories came from. Amazingly enough, I stayed under my calories for the day because I was working my butt off cleaning the house to get ready for the party and doing laundry!

    My husband and I are huge RAVENS fans!!!! .... so there was definitely some celebratory indulgence! I didn't totally bomb last night, but I couldn't continue to eat like that and reach my goals. I've been super-good today and it feels great to be back on track. It's funny, I've been on MFP a month and today feels like "me" and the SB party last night felt like "not me." The new habits are WORKING!!!

    Yep. I gained 2 pounds. I tried to have healthy snacks, but I had too much junk along with it :)

    I assure you that you did not gain 2 Lbs of fat...pretty much impossible unless you consume 7,000 calories over your maintenance. For me that would be 9,500 calories in a single day to gain 2 Lbs over night. Most likely, the foods you indulged in were high sodium so you are retaining water.

    I worked out in the morning and ate more lightly throughout the day. For the game we had a cheese/olive/cracker plate, homemade roast beef poboys with chips, King Cake, and a couple good beers. I was over my calories for the day but was banking calories all week so I finished the week a few hundred calories under goal. It was a good day.

    Amen

    Personally since I started my lifestyle change 6 years ago I have always allowed myself two cheat days. I reserve those days for the weekend so I can go out to a diner, or go party and not feel guilty. I usually do some for of work out during the summer daily, I also usually gain ten pounds in the winter which is gone by summer. My body has ranged from 5'8" 135 to 145lbs and between a size 4 to a 6 since I started. I just figure winter weight is to keep me warm :p
