Weight / Fat loss

So...you all have off days, right? Days where you shudder while counting your calories?

I'm just checking as I've been rather bad this week, thanks to Birthdays and co-op pizza fueled meetings.

I'm trying to make up for it by being very careful during the day, but I'm also out too late at night to make going for a run (or anything that isn't sleeping) very possible.

my mum would say to make sure you have days off from your diet. give yourself one or two days a week when you can eat what you want (without, obviously, going insane about it). it makes it easier for the other five or six days. but also your body gets used to whatever it's given. if you cut down your caloric intake, it will eventually get used to that level of calories and become efficient at that level (which means it will start storing fat). if you keep it guessing, it will never reach efficiency at that level.
