Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You know that's fine, right? Low days, high days. People do it intentionally and call it a zig-zag. A variable calorie intake keeps your metabolism guessing and tends to encourage fat loss. No reason to eat exactly the same amount every day, or even to count calories at all.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I know, I know, I'm just being very hard on myself right now. I'm a all or nothing type of person. > > > I have totally messed up today with my eating. I've been tracking my > > calories and have been hitting between 1300 to 1400 per day.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I am right there with you. After a 5lb loss my first week, I ate like crazy yesterday on my free day. I didn't eat anything real bad just way too much sodium and calories. I was up 1.5lbs this morning. Now I am having to encourage myself to hit it hard today. Just don't give up. I did this bfl program once before and so I know the ups and downs are common (both physical and emotional). Just keep watching what you eat and don't become too frantic. You will learn along the way how many calories are in certain brands of foods. weirdo_mommy wrote: > > > I know, I know, I'm just being very hard on myself right now.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey , Don't worry about that 1.5lbs, it is probably water weight from the increased sodium. Drink extra water to flush it out, and it will be all gravy. deb ________________________________ From: bodyforlifewomensclub2 [mailto:bodyforlifewomensclub2 ] On Behalf Of Sessions Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 10:28 AM To: bodyforlifewomensclub2 Subject: Re: Totally messed up I am right there with you.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Oh no! Say it ain't so!! Not a smaller calorie deficit than usual? Doesn't this mean you have to start all over? > > I have totally messed up today with my eating. I've been tracking my > calories and have been hitting between 1300 to 1400 per day.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 :-) Yes, I'm being totally sarcastic. Unless you're a very tiny person, you probably still got a calorie deficit for the day, just a little less of a deficit than you planned. Keep on trucking, girl; you're still doing great. > > > > > > I have totally messed up today with my eating.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ok, good, I didn't know if you were being ugly and making fun of me or not. Phew!
