    bleh, I was feeling like that too! But if I can't be honest with myself, I will never make it through this "journey". I know I am harder on myself than anyone else is with me, but gotta deal with the facts to make better choices next time... and sometimes it just isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! Besides, the day isn't over..... and sometimes friggin backyard bbq's have little kids to chase and play with, and they neeeeeveeeer get tired of playing tag and chase! Our son sure doesn't, it makes exercise more of a game for me than a dreaded chore, especially hearing his giggles :bigsmile:

    I am not logging calories (or worrying about them while I am celebrating) on New Year's Eve/Day, Easter, my birthday, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving or Christmas. That's my one week of vacation time per year :)

    Just got home from friggin backyard bbq at in-laws. 2600 calories and I just remembered I ate a piece of cheese I forgot to log.

    ARRRGGGHHHHH.

    Does anyone know how I can burn off 1500 calories before I go to bed? LOL.

    Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.

    I am still 300 cal under, but as soon as the burger dinner wears off, I'll be starting the Corona's. that will be my downfall. I did exercise today and got 500cals. extra to eat, so I am going to eat them all.

    We did the BBQ yesterday. I logged in what I thought I was going to eat. Boy did I eat more. I didn't go over because I worked out yesterday. I did end up with an upset stomach though. Lesson learned.

    I got up and mowed the lawn.... We have about an acre of land going up hill for about half of the property! Took me an hour and 15 minutes! May I suggest mowing the lawn this Sunday to burn off some of those calories?

    I know I got quite the work out and I was working to a goal which I have found is easier then mindless running/walking/treadmill for me. I didn't feel bad about eating steak tips salad and a hotdog for the 4th!

    (I even had a piece of my own pineapple upside down cake!)

    Don't feel like the lone ranger. I am with you. Today was the first time I really splurged and now I am sitting here wondering how can I try to burn down all the extra calories I took in today before I go to bed. lol. But I am not going to stress, I know tommorrow it is back to my normal day and I am eager to get started. We should award ourselves all holidays and birthdays as splurge time as someone mention above. All I have to say is tommorrow is another day and it can only get better.

    My opinion...log it...own it....tomorrow is a new day! Don't punish yourself mentally because of one bad day. You need to see what the calories are no matter what. Just think the amount of food you ate today is probably what you used to eat before you started MFP and eating healthy. Imagine if that was EVERYDAY! It's not so please don't beat yourself up about it. But log it! :flowerforyou:

    Yes, welll, ditto on all of this today! I have not allowed myself to get off, but today...
    I did work out in the pool and walked and then I said, "O>K> I am not going to stress over this...
    TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY!
    HAPPY 4TH!

    Normally, on a holiday, I would definitely splurge! But my girlfriend and I decided we would not do that this time, we planned on sticking to our eating plan! We ate great food but within our calories! This is probably a first for me on a holiday and I'm so proud of myself. We had a Weight Watchers ice cream bar for dessert and savored every bite! I have to admit, it's bedtime and I am hungry, but I'm going to go to bed and feel really good about myself in the morning! (Normally, I would be having eater's remorse).

    Ok..not to be a wet blanket, BUT.......did the host hold you down and shove the food
    down your throat???? Don't whine, you made the choice, now you pay the price.
    Next time, plan ahead. Take your own chicken, salad, etc. That's what I'm doing
    tomorrow. Host already said they were doing ribs and dogs. So I volunteered to
    do chicken, veggie kabobs and a fruit plate. And for dessert........angel food cake
    and fat free cool whip. Your choices are yours........you have to live with them.

    And on a happier note.........Happy Birthday America! God Bless the USA!! :drinker:
