Blew it big time today!!

Luvthemtorts Posts: 190 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/07/16, 01:56 AM Today I blew my program in a bad way! It started with Fuddruckers and went downhill from there. My meals today consisted of 1 lb. triple cheeseburger large french fry large peanut butter cup blizzard bag of butter microwave popcorn This is the first time I have gone absolutely crazy in almost a year and I feel quite guilty (I considered forced regurgitation but couldn't bring myself to do it). My mind is also trying hard to convince me that I have undone 5 months of training even though I know it is physically impossible. I guess my question is what are the realistic reprocussions of a day like this? Will it mess my metabolism up in any way? Tomorrow is back to normal healthy eating but can't help but think I screwed myself out of a weeks progress in one day.

I cant tell you exactly what will happen because of your eating, but I can guess that it wont be too much. Certainly not a weeks worth of progress. You will get back on track, and this will just be a blip in the screen!

For instance, not only do I feel like I wasted last weeks training efforts I also had myself convinced I could feel the grease clogging my arteries LOL! May sound funny to some but it feels real enough to me. Anyway thanks again Sivy. May I say your signifigant other must be a lucky individual indeed. Intelligence, reassuring and quite pretty. A rare and elusive combination in this day and age.

As bropie said, it will probably rev your metabolism for a bit.

I stepped on the scale just to see what it had to say and I didn't gain anything from eating that big ol' fatty meal. I will say that I didn't enjoy the unhealthy food as much as I thought I would and it made me feel quite sluggish the entire evening instead of energized like my normal meals typically do.
