I went over. Oh well..we have a whole new month and a new week starting. I am a little bummed, but I rarely ever go over but there is always a brand new day to start fresh. :happy:

    I, too went over my calories last night. Not because of candy, though....an awesome Halloween party and too many smirnoffs!

    I went a little over and don't care that I did :D I think it's important to have completely free days once and awhile. So I don't worry about it. I do it about once a month. I find I still eat WAAAAAY less than I used to and I don't really pig out but I get to have some halloween candy or birthday cake and not worry about it.

    I've never had a week where I gained from ONE free day for something special so I just don't worry about it. Tomorrow back to normal ;)

    I'll say before my weight loss I used to engorge on pizza, fast food, and junk food all the time. Now that number is greatly reduced. I went from eating out 4-5 times a week to once a week. :smile:

    I bought the full sized candy bars for the kiddos. That way they went quicker and I didn't have the temptation of getting into the stash because I didn't have the mentality of "oh it is just one little piece"...then it goes to two....then 10. I successfully stayed out of the candy and I am hoping to give the rest away at work tomorrow. Now the drinks last night at the halloween party, that's where I went over!!!!! LOL

    I haven't gone over yet but it's only 6 pm here an I haven't eaten dinner. lol There is half a bowl of candy for the trick or treaters sitting in the kitchen. I'm praying we'll have enough trick or treaters tonight to get rid of it all so I'm not tempted. lol

    I will try my hardest not to go over, but I guess we'll see. I figure this is like a trial run for Thanks Giving and Christmas. I have to get my mind in the game and prepare for the up and coming holiday feasts. Mental armor is what it's going to take to keep from over indulging this holiday season. But we can do it!

    I went way over today too, but I agree tomorrow is a new month and everyone deserves "free days" now and again! Here's hoping that November is a good month for everyone! :drinker:

    I so blew it tonight. Had done exceptionally well all day; took an extra long walk. BUT then went to a good friends Halloween party. I did not eat candy, but she had so many wonderful delights not to mention beverages. I am so busted today. Very happy that tomorrow is a Monday AND the first day of a month....just seems like the perfect time to start it over afresh! Recommitted to eating well!

    I didn't but I made sure I got my strength training and cardio in today and I logged the 60 minutes spent walking while out trick or treating with my daughter. I also made sure I ate lower calorie meals today. It was good to have some treats after working so hard!

    I did but I had planned to. I know I wont succeed at this if I feel deprived. So I made sure to get all my water and will definitely be hitting the gym extra hard this week.

    Yesterday...reese's pumpkins, york, and cookie dough. >< Still got a lot of candy...but Hopefully I'll get back on track tomorrow and stay that way a while..

    I went over and I don't feel guilty at all. It's just one day and I know that if I deprive myself of chocolate I'm just going to binge at some point. Tomorrow is a new day!

    I did! Sat and Sunday over :( O well today is a new day! time for a run and on the positive side I stayed under my maintenance calories so at least I won't gain! x

    I stayed under but that was because I went trick or treating with my three kids for 3 hours and we had a wagon so I burned a lot of calories pulling the wagon, walking up hills and walking at a pretty good pace. I only had one fun sized Snickers Bar but the temptation is still in the house. I can resist the urge, i think!

    today was one of the few days I stayed under! Actually, I went over two days in a row this week so I had my share of pigging out. I'm NOT a big candy person so not eating candy isn't too big of a deal for me.

    Me! I did! And it wasn't even from Candy! We were on the GO all day to try and make it back home in time for Trunk or Treat at church, so lots of fast food, and we went out to breakfast with friends to all you can eat...oiy...Just to many bad choices in one day....We shall see what the scale says about me come Friday....

    I was 500 under my goal thanks to burning over 843 calories running/walking a 5k on the treadmill before we headed out. We went out to dinner and I pre-planned what healthy option I would eat. I boxed up half as soon as it arrived (I knew it was a large portion of food). Thanks to some good choices, I was able to fit in some candy- 1 Reese's peanut butter cup, 1 funsized bag of plain M&Ms, and 6 Whoppers. Just enough to leave me satisfied. I also shopped smart and bought little bags of pretzels and mini bags of popcorn for the trick or treaters that came to our house... a lot less temptation with leftovers!

    i went over but not worried at all because i knew i would! i ate some reeses peanut butter cups (2), a snickers fun size, a tootise roll pop and a small slice of apple pie with a bit of ice cream. no way i would eat this everyday but i figured today was an exception! i actually did really well until i went tot and was walking around with my family. so easy to reach in and eat some candy. we did walk a lot so that is good and i made sure to drink lots of water. good thing my weigh in day isn't tomorrow:)

    I went over today big time....went to a place called Apple Hill (Placerville area of CA) and went wine tasting, brought a healthy picnic lunch then split a slice of apple pie alamode...but only ate about at third of it) and tasted a apple donut and had about a third of a carmel apple! Can't beat myself up but I'm noticing I don't enjoy going off from moderate eating or drinking so much wine.
    Back in the groove now!! Thanks for this post...I feel better knowing I'm not alone and I do struggle with "celebrations" and today was a birthday celebration with girlfriends.

    I am over -- big. I logged what I could remember and it was about 2000 extra calories, even with the 500 I got this morning from exercise.

    At least I left all my halloween candy there. I did take the stuff we used to make caramel apples home.
    I have to figure out what to do about that. Maybe I will make caramel candies for people and give them away.

    Here's to a new month. I hope to be on a downward trend from now on.
    I have been on this site everyday for 45 days and so far I have gone up and down the same 5 pounds. As of now, I am down and I hope to keep going.
