I did a stupid thing

Hey I wasted calories day before yesterday, it happens. Yesterday I was more careful what I ate and today am exercising extra. By tomorrow will be back on track. You CAN do it too!

It's okay. It happens. Just remember, this is a LIFESTYLE change. Every day will not be perfect. We are work in progress.

Aw, I did something very similar a few days ago. I know how you feel. Tomorrow will be better.

You've already lost 60lbs! You''ve been doing something right and you can get right back on track. When I do something like that, it helps to remember this:

love this! am saving it and using it on my down days/weeks - cheers!

Those caramel pretzel bars are dangerous!!

I polished off half a dozen cookies in one sitting once....twice.....ok it's happened more times then I care to count. But in my defence I like to put peanut butter in between two cookies and make a sandwich so if you think about it it's really only 3 cookies right? But you just kinda accept it and tell yourself you'll do better for the rest of the day and tomorrow. Don't drown your guilt in more cookies though.....I may have done that a few times too. It happens!

Let it go. It's one day. Next time though, if you're going to blow 480 calories on ice cream, skip the Skinny Cow and go right for the good stuff. Just say'n.

Anyway. Good luck tomorrow.

This...and congrats on your progress.

If you you think that's bad consider this. We've been on a 3 day fishing trip up in Canada and we sat on our a$$es all day in a boat on the lake! At noon we would find a little island and our guide would make a campfire and put a huge glob of lard in a fry pan along with a slab of bacon and cook the bacon, after which he removed the bacon and fried the fish we caught in the lard and bacon grease. Heaven! He also grilled some kind of meat or poultry and sliced up tomatoes and onions and our first course was bacon, tomato and onion sandwich. Then the fish. Then the meat and boiled red potato and finally, homemade fruit pie for dessert.
First day raspberry, 2nd apple and today blueberry.
It was an amazing 3 days and if you look to the left at my picture you will see that I caught a huge 20 inch 5 lb largemouth bass.
Tomorrow it's back to the old elliptical and free weights.
I don't regret one moment.

Love this pic! It's a nice reminder that we're all human & eff up every once in a while.

OP: Like someone else said, you're doing great so don't let one day get you

If you are hungry for dinner, then eat dinner. It makes no sense to try to starve yourself as penance for your earlier transgression. You will just end up getting hungrier and then blow your top again. One day off plan is not going to unravel all your efforts for the week. It is repeatedly going off plan that will mess up your loss rate.

I don't like to let that kind of situation ever come up. I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast just about every day: plain non-fat Greek yogurt. The only thing that varies is the type of berry or the type of nut topping and sweetener that I add. With a little pre planning and preparation (stocking the refrigerator, freezer and cupboard) there is never any reason that I "have no time for a good breakfast". I mean, how long does it take to throw some yogurt, berries, nuts and maple syrup into a bowl? A minute? Two?

If it takes you a long time to prepare breakfast, then try to come up with short-cuts. Try to work in some ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat items into your breakfast repertoire. Be sure that you stock up on whatever breakfast staples you like. Have lots of extras on hand so that you don't run out and don't make excuses about skipping breakfast. And, whatever you choose, make sure that your breakfast includes a good amount of protein. It will help to satiate you and keep you from having cravings that cause you to overeat at lunch.

Let it go. It's one day. Next time though, if you're going to blow 480 calories on ice cream, skip the Skinny Cow and go right for the good stuff. Just say'n.

Anyway. Good luck tomorrow.

No worries...I seriously ate half of a large pizza for dinner....granted it was a papa murphey's delite ...and I did jog my first 5k today and then biked for 40 minutes. but between that and a church picnic....(hot dogs) I'm literally 19 calories over. Guess who is going to do a couple songs on Just Dance before heading to bed? This girl is. If I overeat, I exercise more or deduct those calories from my next day's allotment (it's not like your body really thinks sun-up to sun-down like we do.)

On saturday, I split a slice of cheesecake with my husband. I thought to myself "how bad could it be?" It was 610 cals for HALF. I was frustrated when I realized how much I would have to work to not exceed my calorie goal. I went to the gym for an hour. And then I enjoyed dinner. I still went over my cals, but that cheesecake was yummy. And if I had beaten myself up about it, it would have led to shame. Shame usually leads to even worse decision making, so I did my best and promised myself that I'd be more careful next time.

We all have these moments but you're obviously doing a great job most of the time. That's something to be proud of

Just eat. Don't starve yourself. Honestly, one day is not a big deal. It's going to be alright.
