    Does anyone else think oh I should work out extra today so I can have that cookie or donut? Why don't I want to excercise so that I can have a bigger piece of chicken or some tuna??

    Is it just one of those things you go through on this journey or just me? LOL

    Sometimes I use my exercise calories for junk. Most of the time I use them on good foods. But I typically work a little junk into my days with or without exercise.

    This. If it fits, it gets eaten regardless of my workout that day. ;) That being said, I could go for some ice cream. Since I am a mean mom, I will eat said ice cream after my babies are in bed. :D haha I kid... or am I...? ;)

    there's nothing wrong with a deliberate, calculated treat now and then. If you cut out a food completely it will just make you crazy and lead to you hiding in the coat closet binging.

    I speak from experience, lol.

    That's why it's called a "Beer Run".

    I keep telling people I only run long distances so I can have a burger and fries after! :laugh:

    For the most part I stick to eating healthy foods after exercising, but I've been known to work out a few minutes longer so I can have a cookie or a decadent dessert. Hasn't hurt my weight loss or maintenance. It's all about balance and finding what works for you. :flowerforyou:

    I usually do that once a week. I'll exercise like a mad women and eat very little throughout the day just so I can have three pieces of Pizza Hut pizza for dinner. Doing it every once in a while won't hurt. Just don't make a huge habit of it. :)

    I do somethin like that. For example when I'm going out to eat at night or even for lunch, I try to get in some exercise and burn a lot more calories than the typical so I can indulge and not feel as guilty. Nothings wrong with that. Do whatever works with you.

    I'll look at the calorie count on junk food and think, "omg I'll have to run for like an hour and a half straight to burn that off... maybe I'll find something else to eat." Works for me because I'm lazy as all hell. The last thing I want to have to do is exercise more :P

    Ahhh ha ha. Someone thinks like me! =] I do the same thing. 'There is NO WAY I am going to the gym for an extra 45 minutes for a stupid muffin...'

    Seriously though, I don't mind the actual exercising but the TIME it takes out of my day irritates me on occasion. I know it's all for the greater good, though, so I get my butt in gear. =]

    i workout for wine.

    I want a shirt that says this. Or a bumper sticker. Or tattooed across my chest...

    YES!! I love this, who's gonna start the merch line for this?? I'll buy for sure! Haha. Anyway, I LOVE wine! Gotta have it, drinks in general. Who wants to go to a party and not be able to have at least one drink?? I do workout for other things too, like the cake I'll be enjoying tonight for the boyfriends birthday which is today. :drinker: :bigsmile:
