I've already blown it today

SORRY TO HEAR THAT I HAVE THOSE KINDA DAYS ALSO. BUT START OVER. JUST EAT HEALTHIER AND DRINK WATER

exercise ...then you have more cals....
i haven't all week..cause I am sick. but I notice my cals are really diminished by early afternoon. I may go for a long walk so I can claim some more cals for dinner :flowerforyou:
Next week I start ChaLean Extreme over for the next 3 months...YeAh....then it's back to getting 300-500 cals extra a day of food.!!!
Yippy!

listen im right there with you. Just pump the water and much as you can. Park far away from wherever you are going so you can walk further, and do some home excercises before bed. I am totally with you though. did same damn thing. UGH

Eat a healthy dinner. Make chicken and veggies. Don't starve yourself because you ate badly earlier in the day. You will go over on calories by a bit, but not enough to make you gain (permanent) weight back. Just be good the rest of the day. :flowerforyou:

As others have said, start fresh right this minute. No big deal since it doesn't happen all the time, right?
Even if you don't have time to exercise, do NOT starve yourself the rest of the day and don't just eat raw veggies, either. When I'm really low on calories, I eat boneless skinless chicken breast & cooked veggies (steamed or stir-fried without oil) with some kind of salt-free seasoning. Nutritious, filling, and yummy! Super low calories, too.

That said, you may have more time to exercise than you think. I'm always dancing and doing squats and stuff while cooking dinner (yes, I look foolish, but who cares?). I work a lot (13-14 hours some days) and I still find tons of time to exercise -- Tuesday and Wednesday this week I worked 13 hours each -- I exercised over an hour both days (and no, it's not like I don't have a ton of responsibilities to take care of at home -- sometimes you just have to figure out how to do what you have to do). I pretty much wiggle all the time. And you know what? Wiggling burns more calories than not wiggling.

But whatever you decided to do, DO NOT use a little hiccup as an excuse to fall off the wagon. Don't ever say "Well, I blew it earlier so I may as well blow it now." That leads to "Well I blew it yesterday, so" and "Well, I blew it last week" and before you know it, you're right back into old habits.

Well the mornings over, so start fresh right now! I had to teach myself that there are no excuses for over indlugence... You'll get there too! You are doing a fabulous job by the way... this is just a little hiccup!

Yep what she said! A wise girl on here once said that her husband told her that every meal is a fresh chance to start over. That one really stuck with me!

You can do anything you put your mind to! :flowerforyou:

I agree with you both, starting fresh can happen moments after unplanned eating!:drinker: Perhaps for the rest of the day, cut yourself some slack, venting your feelings on here probably helped a bit and hanging onto guilt never helps with anything, really.

Lots of water, heck even pushups against the bathroom wall at work, leg lifts anything that comes to mind to move your body. In the meantime don't stop eating today but perhaps eating lightly, salad with lots of veggies etc. To stop eating or to continue eating unplanned food may only set up issues for tomorrow!

Your post helped me think on my own issue late last night, I posted it for yesterday and today is brand new day. I ate a sandwich late last night, couldn't sleep, guess I was trying to comfort myself or something. Logged it all in for yesterday and WOW, today is going well.

I think had I logged it in for today I would have been beating myself up all day and been more likely to throw in the towel. So your post and others on this thread helped me!

So thank you!:flowerforyou:

Thanks, this is definitely what I needed today!!

Just know you're not alone -- ever never -- I had my moment last night -- I made AMISH Friendship bread -- and my sample taste turned into a full blown - holy crap did I really eat 1/2 of the loaf?? Been punishing myself ever since. I have an office job as well that doesn't allow much 'activity'... but I am going to go the post office and I think I'll walk!! It's been a rough ride today - I tend to be an emotional eater - which compounds on itself really easy... don't look back -- it won't change and just makes you feel bad -- when I do that , I set very SHORT GOALS,, like okay this is my plan until 5:00PM and then I set a new one for just a couple a hours,,, helps to get me back on track without feeling so guitly...

Great job! You are gonna be successful at this.

Everyone has these kids of days.....don't beat yourself up about it. Just remember that tomorrow is another day!
