Excuses

Please stop making them! Don't tell me you don't have the time to work out. I'm a full time law student, work an additional 32 hours a week at a law firm and I still make time to work out 5 days a week AND have a social life. There are 24 hours in a day, use them! And when you have a question about how many calories you've burned...go with lowest number! I know you want me to tell you to use the highest number so you can feel better about yourself and eat more calories, but IDK what the right number is! Use the lower one, you're trying to lose weight so stop trying to cheat yourself! As for eating back your workout calories, yes, you're supposed to eat them all back. If you don't, NBD. You're not going to starve to death. Personally, I work out a lot and can't eat enough food to eat back all my calories, but I try to eat back most of them because if I don't, I don't have a ton of energy. And your "cheat" days...why do you need a cheat day? I understand special occassions and nights out come up and you go over your calories...forgive yourself! Don't PLAN a cheat day though. On nights I'm going out I workout more and HOPE that i burn enough calories, but if I don't, I don't. Stop making excuses people. Get to the gym, there is always time. Watch what you eat! If you go over your calories, forgive yourself and move on. Don't make excuses though.
