Christmas/Holiday/Dayyoucelebrate Challenge

Today was several liters of a porter named dark persuasion, a pumpkin spice latte with chocolate, a bratwurst with sauerkraut and a pretzel I shared with my dog. Then there was the gluhwein, and whisky. Of course I had to try some leberkase, liverwurst, bierkase, rye bread, zimtsterne.
then there was dinner.
Ham hock with spatzle, rottkraut, some sausage, and a little bread. The best part though, was the skin from the hock. A porcine, fat covered crisp cracker, that when you bite it a little bit of fat tries to escape down your chin to your plate.
Then followed that with a little hofbrau dunkel.

I started the day with two pieces of this, after dreaming about it all night. Sheesh it's even better the next day (it's chestnut buttercream inside, chocolate buttercream outside).
So I'm at 1000 calories so far and it's only 9am. Breakfast buffet tonight (quiche, French toast, hash brown, and more), and I doubt I'll skip lunch so... Probably 3-4000 calories today. Still unsure about tomorrow, I'm making another log, but I'm not sure if I'll be getting any chocolate or not (which would probably make all the difference).
Let's bring it on.
That looks amazing!0 -
This thread is fantastic....hic, with make up, wine, bourbon, and food photos hic hic. Cheers everybody!0

Rough estimate my Christmas eve came in around 2900, but it was a quiet night as I got out of going to my sister in laws who can't cook and whines too much...
Christmas rough pre log before booze is 4100 so I think 5000+ will be easily reached0 -
High 2600: for me yesterday. Not to shabby... Pretty sure with a cookie munching it cutoff be 3k. But I'm okay with that for Christmas eve.
Today's a new day! woot woot woot!0 -
This morning I hit nearly 1,000 cals, I have been chowing out on smoked almonds, cheese and crackers, and ALL THE FRUIT in the fruit tray. Oh, and put half n' half in my coffee instead of just milk.
Its only 8:30 am here, so this is bound to be an EPIC DAY!0 -
I worked in the ER last night and, as per tradition, everyone who had a shift brought a little something and one of the outlying hospitals sent pizza as some sort of thank you gift for accepting their referrals throughout the year (strange, really). So here's what I had (I'm estimating at least 3000 cals for the shift):
5 slices of pizza
1 oatmeal raisin cookie
1 white chocolate macadamia cookie
2 chocolate chip cookies
2 pieces of chocolate mousse cake
3 biscotti
1 piece of peanut butter cake
A few fried broccoli puffs
An undetermined amount of peanut brittle
I'm sure there was some other stuff I don't remember
Tonight will be the traditional Jewish Christmas celebration: movie and Chinese food, and I intend to eat all the egg rolls.

We won't discuss Christmas Eve...my family doesn't do anything, so I'm pretty sure I stuck to my deficit. All the sads. I even went with just one serving of Talenti.
This morning...breakfast casserole...that's an easy 700, right?0 -
Christmas Eve clocked in at about 2800 cals. I also hit the wall pretty early so didn't eat as many of Santas cookies and no baileys and coffee before bed, fell asleep watching Christmas Vacation right after arranging all the Santa presents... Starting this morning off with leftover monkey bread while kids tear apart weeks of shopping and wrapping work in a matter of minutes. Later will put out cold cuts for a snack and this evening we are headed to husbands cousins for lots of booze and food. I'm bringing salami stuffed focaccia, party rye pizzas, and cheesy corn to go with brisket and mashed potatoes and whatever else is on the menu... I'm going to aim for 3000 again but don't worry, I have yet another celebration on Saturday and my husband got me tickets to the Chiefs game on Sunday so there will be lots of beer and bbq contributing to the weekly goal...0

I'm at 2000 and it's 10am. I was up starving at 3am (WTF seriously, considering I had 2200 calories last night), had a piece of cake, then breakfast was 3 chocolates, cheese omelet, bacon, and 1000 calories worth of panettone.
Then there's 'dinner' (at 2pm) of filet mignon, potatoes, more Christmas log, plum pudding and I don't know what else (there are rolls too), and dinner.
I'll be at the gym first thing tomorrow, obviously.0 -
3rd batch of ooegy gooey cookies in the oven...
And yogurt/cream cheese fruit dip made for the fruit tray I'm bringing to brunch.
BF is staying home sick- which makes me a bit sad- but it is what it is.
I am so tired- was going to get up and run this morning- but- well- I have a cut on my foot that's starting to bother me- so I opted off the run. Back to workout tomorrow.0 -

You make me proud. Deeply impressed

Christmas eve was a Paella and salad, with wine and dessert at a cousin's gathering. I doubt if I over-indulged and anyway, I taught a water aerobics class in the morning.
I don't celebrate Christmas, so today I'm doing an online booster of Zumba training, working on my website, puttering around in my apartment and going to see "Into The Woods" this evening. I also heard that "The Interview" is on Google Play.0 -

We do the chinese food thing on christmas eve! We have a Jewish family member and that was/is his family's tradition. I cooked egg rolls, rice, mixed veggies, orange chicken, brocolli and baby corn and served orange wedges and apple pie for dessert.

We are having christmas "dinner" at 1pm, should be good. My friend is making my favorite, "party potatoes" which is like shredded hashbrown,sourcream and cheese casserole. Im gonna guess that is around a million calories per square inch.
Back to the grindstone tomorrow, but I am sure lovin' today!

My family calls those Texas Potatoes but I love them! With cornflakes on top, right?

We used to have them on Christmas but my husbands family voted for baked mashed potatoes instead which include a brick of cream cheese, a pint of sour cream and two sticks of butter...

Lol. I figure, it's just a couple days a year. I'm always actually pretty happy to get back on track!
I'm feeling seriously cookie deprived though. Should have made more.0 -
I had my regular breakfast this morning about 800 calories and savings myself for the italian feast to come in a few hours….0
-
My pictures will be coming tonight.
Funny thing is that I'm not thinking about when I can next eat or getting stressed over what I have to eat/not eat. Food porn has no appeal for me today. I ate first meal at 7am and didn't think about lunch until hubby asked me what I want to have at 12.30pm. I'm having Real Food, but the desserts are 75% of my day today. I'm not going to eat my Toblerone bar or Terry's orange that Santa brought me. Those are easier for me to dole out.0 -
Monkey bread, sausage gravy and biscuits, followed by a couple cookies dunked in Bailey's spiked coffee.
Looking forward to brie and other appetizers before lasagna. It might not feel like Christmas but the food is damn good.0 -
where is the "like" button?!0
-
Aaaaand failure, unless I go for 2000 in the desserts. Only had ham, broccoli casserole, and a bit of stuffing that tasted like rubber.
Actually, since I'm not getting more than a nap this evening to go to work at midnight, maybe I should count tomorrow's breakfast buffet as well?0 -
I should easily be able to hit 3500 today. I'm at 2400 with prelogging only the appetizers and foods I know will be at the family dinner tonight. That's before any wine, dessert, or other unknown foods that will also be available... if I apply myself 4000 may be possible!0
-
I just drank a whole bottle of wine... this holiday sucks so badly.0
-
At the end of the day, I'll probably be around 2600, maybe 2700. I celebrate Christmas, but I don't try to eat a huge amount of food over what I normally eat.0
