...take mushrooms!


Have gone over my calories by over 500 cals today. I usually work out what I am going to eat the night before but I cam home today and my cheffy fiance had made a gorgeous dinner, there were also bloody jelly babies roaming the house and they tricked me into eating them, little b***ards! It wasn't until after I totted up what I had eaten that I realised how over I am. I would normally just try and burn this off but I am hurting today after an aerobics class and 30 day shred yesterday, I know its "no pain, no gain" but there is a strong possibility I could die if i pick up the weights...

So basically, Im just confessing, it's out there, you may all shame me into action now lol.

Hope you are all having good a day and wake up tomorrow a little bit awesomer than you were today :)

    If your goal is set for 1lb/week you just ate at maintenance. You won't gain any fat.

    Good for you. You're fine. I went over 500 calories one day, and 120 calories the next. I lost .2 pounds. You're fine. :)

    Thanks :flowerforyou:

    And yep, the 1lb/week setting puts you at a 500 calorie daily deficit (500 x 7 = 3500 calories = 1lb of fat). That's why being just a little bit over sometimes isn't a big deal.

    And if you really want to keep your weekly deficit you can just shave 83 more calories off your day for the next six days. A teeny bit more exercise or slightly less food. But, really, going over sometimes is no big deal unless it happens a lot or you feel out of control while doing it.
