    Yeah! I totally blew it today. I have been doing well since Saturday. When I seem to blow it, I continue that trend for the rest of the day. Good Luck tomorrow!

    Don't feel bad I totally blew it also, we had a pizza party at my office and I had 4 slices of pizza a peach cobbler for dessert. I also do really bad on the weekends and my best friend is coming in this weekend so I know she will want to go out to eat and have a couple of drinks.

    AHHHHHH! It must be something in the air! I overdid it really bad today too! (about 700 over my limit) and now I am kicking myself for doing so. Why do I do this to myself?

    I blew it....but I was fully aware when I woke up this morning that I was going to blow it.....therefore I did not feel guilty. And tomorow I'll wake up and get right back on track. What's the point of having a cheat day if you're going to feel guilty about it? I enjoyed today and look forward to the next time I will allow myself a treat.

    oh, I thought chocolate was required on Valentines Day. Isn't it? And beer. Beer and Chocolate=Valentines. Yeah, that's my story.

    when you say you blew it 500 calories does that mean you went over the net calories (say I'm supposed to eat 1,200 calories but i really 1,500) or is it after exercise in the Calories remaining (does it say -500)?

    I didn't even count today! That is how bad I did! This has actually been a hard couple of weeks. I'm hoping to get my head back in the game soon!

    SO FAR, SO GOOD!!! I left without breakfast but got a yogurt and banana right away. Then ran my errands and came home for a nice turkey wrap. Then I worked out for 80 minutes doing a new weight routine, my regular weight routine, and 600 calories on the elliptical. My friend made dinner, white rice, pork roast, and a vegetable stew. I measured everything and ate what I wanted. I have 700 calories left to consume, pleanty of fat and carbs. I did however, not get enough fiber today. Those are the items I track. My hubby came home with a package of Lillie Belle chocolates, which you should look up when you are at goal and order some because they make the most unusual chocolates and they are organic and original. I haven't looked up the nutrition yet but I might be able to squeeze one in. MMMMMMMM

    I was actually doing really well today....only went 42 calories over (which is good for me...I've been working on lowering my calories for a week now and I am getting lower every day).

    ....until

    I got home after a stressful day today and decided it was a good idea to have a late night snack of potato chips and coca cola! oops! at least I have tomorrow, right?

    Yesterday my co-workers and I had decided we would treat ourselves for Valentine's Day going out to lunch. So I had it in my head all day and this morning and I didn't want to go over my calories. I had a low-calorie breakfast ( 3 egg whites w/ 2 slices of turkey bacon & half a grapefruit) and took some snacks to work ( instant oatmeal, a banana, 3 turkey slices & sugar-free Jello) We decided to go to Olive Garden, so before we headed out there I looked up the nutrition info and decided on a meal that would not take me over my calories. When I got to the restaurant I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't eat anything more or less then what I had planned to eat. I still had a good Lunch though ( Shrimp Primavera, salad and half a breadstick and to drink , only water! that saved me a ton of calories) :wink:

    Haha. Was actually my birthday, so I gave myself a cheat day, and planned on eating every horrible thing I could possibly think of, looked forward to it all month, woke up kind of sick, and didn't want any of it! :laugh:

    I can't decide if I'm sad because I was looking forward to the food so much, or relieved 'cause I don't have to feel bad. :tongue:

    I had a McDonald's breakfast because of Momma's surgery in the morning, went overboard on the hospital food at about four, and then my boyfriend took me out for dinner. It was bad, but not quite two days of calories in one bad.

    yep i had a terrible day following a terrible week! Have been so busy and planned to exercise (and ate the extra caloreis) and then didnt have time! plus i'm away for 3 days and i cant really avoid eating out but never mind i guess i'll just have to try harder when i get back. feeling pretty down about it right now though!

    It could have been a really bad day if it wasn't for it being Lent as well....where I give up all snacks junkfood and desserts or any kind....I do it every year and I'm used to it and believe it or not it only has a few days when its hard....like Valentine's Day when I see those delicious carmel chocolate turtles around....my favs!

    I was really tired so hubby and I decided to just cook dinner instead of going out and we made fajitas...omg sooo good, filling and light! I was really satisfied....we were going to have wine too which may have put me over but I was tired and didn't want to ya know... fall asleep on the poor guy LOL:blushing:

    Hubby had our son make me a beautiful card which was like a zillion times better than any box of chocolate IMO! lol

    well for those who did go over....don't sweat it....or actually do sweat it OFF! & one day is not the end of the world just a beginning of a new day of motivation!!!
    hugs to all!:flowerforyou:
