Well not such a great day. Went out for lunch, so not sure how many calories exactly there. Also was a very stressful day, and I participated in emotional eating. Although the food was not unhealthy, there was too much food eaten.
Food:
- porridge
- dates
- vegie fritatta and salad
- healthy cookies
- apple and hommus
- grapes
- chicken sandwich
- dates
- cup of tea
When I realised exactly how many calories I was downing, I decided I would kill myself at the gym. I probably ate between 1400-1600 calories I would estimate. I was at the gym for 2 hours, running, cross training and a pump class. Around 800-900 calories burned. I did extra than I planned to do at gym today to account for my eating.
Good experience though. I know the triggers for emotional eating (I didn't realise that I did this). And already learning new ways to combat this. Also good that I made myself work harder at the gym due to the food choices that I made. As I have said before this is a learning process, and each day I learn something new. I will take this one and start a fresh tomorrow. No more slippery slopes. I have learned from that and I will move on :)

well done!!!
You didnt do too badly at all!! You made a good choice at lunch, and only over-ate according to THIS plan....remember that 1400-1600 is still a LOW calorie diet. And youve definitely had a calorie deficeit for the day, which is all that counts!!! Dont punish yourself for having a nice meal out....its part of life, and youve handled it brilliantly!!
Hope youre having a great Friday!
Thank you! You make very valid points! Your comments do make me feel better about yesterday! :)
Friday is going really well so far, just got my new HR monitor. Only had an hour at the gym this morning but destroyed myself and got 650 calories out :)
Hope you have a great day too! I will read all about it later ;)
