I think its great though that you started the next day nice and healthy! Your veggie burger the meal before looks great :)

Hey there! After an off day I try to not dwell on it and think that the next day is a brand new day to be healthy! If I'm really feel down I usually try to drink some veggie juice form breakfast (Green Monsters!!) or I do some more cardio for the day!

Ugh I think we all have days like that. But yup, just get up and start over again and get back on track with your good habits. And sometimes I think days like these are good reminders of WHY we choose to take care of ourselves... because feeling like crap SUCKS!

2009-07-13T03:55:29.611-07:00

for me this entire thing is a marathon (I learned the hard way when I viewed it as a sprint) so I just git up and git back on track.
no choices.
no regret.
NO FEELING GUILTY!

I like your approach to getting back on track :) It doesn't seem like you had that bad of an off-day anyway, but I like that you're just picking up with your usual habits. Restricting is not the way to go, as I learned from experience! Now when I feel off, I just start my next meal as I usually would. :)

I think the best thing to remember is that wallowing in a perceived set-back is just as bad as having another set-back. You're doing great, everyone deserves some cookies here and there and as long as you're more consistently "on track" than off it, you're doing amazingly well!

those weekends happen - i think the best way i get myself back on track is to not obsess over what i ate/didn't exercise/etc. over the weekend and just resume normal habits. maybe throw in some extra time at the gym, and you will be good to go girl!

2009-07-12T19:12:46.068-07:00

If I feel very bad in the morning after a day of eating junk or overindulging, I usually have some tea instead of my usual coffee with cream and then a Green Monster or something else late morning, just nothing too heavy. I'm like you in that exercise helps too.

2009-07-12T18:15:14.236-07:00

When I have a bad day and have to get back on track, I just start eating normally. Even if I had a "junk" day, I don't start cutting cals or stuff to get back on track, because that would set me back and make me think I'm restricting myself. Just start the day afresh and enjoy! :-)
By the way, I def don't think you did too bad! And good for you for jumping right back to track!

I remember those toddler days - constantly chasing after them at parties and never eating a hot meal! Crazy times!

I think just getting right back into your normal plan is the best way to get back on track. You didn't do that badly, though so don't worry too much!

I'm planning on not eating too well on my upcoming vacation, as that is usually what happens when I don't have my favorite grocery store around and we eat out every night! It's usually tough getting back into the groove, but I just remind myself that my body is craving some health and good nutrients, it usually works :) Also I remind myself that it's normal to be "off" sometimes, in fact, it's healthy to be "off" sometimes, it's life!

i just go right back to my usual and know that feeling guilty will not help out any!

I try not to let it get to me. I try not to make any special conditions for the next day. For example, I won't add an extra 30 minutes to cardio. I won't skip the one piece of chocolate I sometimes eat. I pretend like nothing unusual happened the day before. Otherwise I over-restrict or over exercise and start feeling worse about myself.
