Wow, I am already 58 calories over what I am supposed to have and I haven't even ate dinner yet! Soon to be hubby does alot of our cooking, he enjoys it, and he is in the kitchen right now getting ready to start pork chops for dinner. Yikes!!! Tomorrow is another day right? I really don't feel well today and didn't do any excercise and just can't wait for bedtime!

    Just because you went over doesn't mean you are above maintenance. Eat light, finish your diary and hit the 'complete' button. I bet you will be surprised.

    Yeah I blew it yesterday, but you just have to move on. Tomorrow is my weigh in day, and am hoping that I won't be disappointed! Try to plan your meals in advance. I always do better when I do that and of course, I did not follow through with my own advice yesterday!

    If you have time, you could do some exercise to add extra calories! :-) I have blown the calorie count at times, too.

    Must be something in the air this weekend. Just chatting with friends on the site and reading some of the latest posts seems like a lot of us blew it or lost control this weeked. We're human and all have our days. Lets just say that all of us that messed up today or yesterday will plan out a much better day tomorow!

    Almost everyone has a bad calorie day. We are all still learning and we are all going to have a few days that we just do not do as well. We have to start someplace and we will have to learn from our mistakes.

    Things I do when I go over. Is maybe throw in a walk, I try to go at least a mile. It usually takes me 15-18 mins. Do a few jumping jacks. Throw in a 10 min work out. Sometimes I say forget it and make up for it the next day.

    Just don't give up.

    oh man. I so feel your pain. I left at 2am in the morning on saturday to go way up north for a funeral. So i ate twice before i would normally get up, ate a restuarant for breakast (yikes) and then had a funeral lunch with loads of treats and wasn't home til tonight with more emotional eating and eating at restauants. I'm a few 1000 over. I'm hitting the water and my exercise dvd's hard starting tomorrow and wn't weigh in again til friday and hope i'm the same at least as last friday. Figure if i keep my expectations reasonable I won't cry if i dont see a loss! Its so hard to stay on track all the time!
