    Nothing, except look into why it happened so I can avoid it next time.

    Record & move on. If it's something I want to remind myself not to eat or drink again I might split it up across the next few days to remind myself on each day's log. My week ends on Saturday, so as long as it's accounted for in the week I ate or drank it I don't care.

    I look at the week as a whole, rather than each individual day. So in that case, I would try to stay under by 250 on two subsequent days.
    Ideally, I would exercise it off, by my life circumstances don't really make that easy right now.

    Nothing at all. I aim for 1.5 lbs. per week, I actually lose closer to .75-1 lb. per week. Meh, I'm ok with that. I'm over almost everyday.

    I might go for an extra long walk with the dogs that night or something, but mostly, I'd probably just move on, try to be more mindful the rest of the week. 500 calories is 1/7 of a pound. It's not going to make or break you.

    Record it and try to work it off.
