Help...Weight Loss Rollercoaster

edited September 19 in Motivation and Support
I started calorie counting with MFP a little while ago, and I was super motivated and very consistent about my counting, and then I didn't count for a couple of days, but since yesterday have gotten motivated again. This is great except for I binged today, and now I'm just feeling guilty and upset, like it's all ruined now. And I would normally get out and exercise on days like this, but I nanny two home bound children on Tuesdays, so I'm stuck with no means to exercise and a fully stocked kitchen. Just wondering if anyone else gets these days and how to move on without losing all hope.

    Are they home bound because they are sick or something?
    If they aren't sick and are old enough to move why don't you take them outside and teach them how to play catch or if they must stay inside you can play a game of follow the leader. If they're around the 3-5 age that'll be sure to burn a few calories and its fun.

    I get those days too.. the only way that I get through them is to remember that tomorrow is a new day.
    Best of luck to you!!

    Your a nanny to two home bound kids? You could make up some games where your playing and moving around. Its one way of burning calories.:flowerforyou:
