Turn around the start of a bad day

So I was thinking about how sometimes I can start off having a bad day and when that happens I always feel like throwing in the towel for the day and just having a junk day...but no more!
Today I thought would be one of those days but I turned my day around in mid-afternoon.
After eating 3 pieces of egg bread in the morning and lasgna at lunch I thought it was too much carbs and calories so I entered it all into MFP and when I saw I only had 200 calories remaining and haven't reached dinner I decided not to throw the towel in....
I decided to create the extra calories I needed for dinner by working for them. Working out to be precise. After doing Jillian Michaels videos I now have room for a good dinner. Feels great.
How do you turn your bad days around?

Thank you! I feel super good about it. Now the only problem is I ate a little too much for dinner so I have to burn off that extra 150 calories...I'll be working out forever with all the eating I do! LOL0

I know I have days like that too. The funny thing is that lately, I've exercised enough on some days that I've had to eat a snack to keep my deficit where I want it!
Since last August when I threw out the word "DIET" from my vocabulary, I made a decision to lose only 4-5 lbs. a month. So far it’s been working and I have enjoyed my new way of eating. I also discovered so many new and healthier foods that I really like!
You seem like your figuring it out, so hang in there!0 -
I was at work today near the end of my day and I thought gosh I am so tired I so dread getting on that treadmill when I get home...maybe I'll skip it tonight..... but my thought process changed, I said getting on that treadmill IS NOT an option....IT IS A MUST....A HAVE TOO..just taking a shower, just like brushing my teeth....just like going to work...NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE!!! and guess what.....I GOT ON THE TREADMILL WHEN I GOT HOME :happy::bigsmile:0

Good for you newmeb450! I know sometimes when I'm not in the mood to workout I tell myself to go and at least do10 mins. Then once I get started, I end up doing the whole 30-60 mins. For me it's just getting up and started that I seem to have a problem with.0
