if you had a bad day calorie wise just move on and get back on track. I only drink on Saturdays, and I try to leave myself spare calories during the week to offset what I do

My goal is to drop 140lbs I know its a marathon not a sprint. I got to a point in my life where I said I want to do something for me. I also have enjoyed the fact i can shop at regular stores for clothes for the first time in many years rather than the more expensive big and tall places
