Last night I went out and totally drank and ate way too much. At that point I was dancing having fun etc. but now all I can think about is how many unnecessary calories I ingested and I'm beginning to forget how much fun I had. How do you mentally get over a bad night?

    I just move on and do better the next day. Sometimes I add in a little more exercise just because it makes me feel less guilty. And I'm sure dancing burned some extra calories too! I always remember being so sore the day after I was out dancing!!

    Yep, you just move on and keep going. I think sometimes we need to enjoy life and not worry about the calories and exercise for a minute, you just have to make sure you get back to it the next day. Don't feel guilty for having fun, but don't make splurging a daily habit either.

    I log it (all of it) and try to move on. If you're really feeling bad you can look at the night and see where you could have made better choices, and then remember that for next time. But honestly, sometimes this stuff happens and you can't let it get you down, that's how one off day turns into an off week and so on.

    I log all of it - the good, the bad and the ugly - and then I think about how much fun I had, how great the night was, and how amazing it is that I can wake up the next day and resume my normal, healthy lifestyle :)

    I love having a night out like that! ;)
    But unfortunately, we all tend to sort of regret it the next day.
    But i just cut back a bit on calories for the rest of the week and do some extra Cardio....Simple!
    Losing weight doesn't mean you can't have a 'life'!

    You start thinking about all the calories you burned while dancing and having fun instead.

    When you play hard you gotta work hard..I've been there too but we just have to get out there and exercise so we can do it all over again.

    It's one day. Who cares.

    Just move forward. Consider it your treat for the week and start fresh today. Dont punish yourself or beat yourself up over it, and don't overly restrict your calories today because of it. Just resume with your normal healthy lifestyle today.
