    I did not go over. In fact, I had 166 remaining calories. That is only because of my exercise calories lol. I ate ALLLLLL of them back and that is something I rarely do. But it was well worth it, but back to the drawing board.

    Under with the calories, (did not eat all exercise calories back but most of them) 289 left. I spent the day painting a few rooms in my house ( i know sucky 4th, but had to get done and could not log that in as exercise although I know it was because I am SORE today lol. Anyhow, I went over on my proteins like I always do and -6 on sugar but that was from watermelon. All in All I think i had a good day. I circuit trained in the morning. SO started out feeling pretty good! I hope I am not going overboard with the proteins, I have been weight training a lot lately and was told not to worry about the protein consumption. What do you guys think? I focus mainly on calories, sugar and sodium. I never hit my carb limit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to eat back some of my exercise calories. Not sure how I feel about that, but people on here seem to swear by it and this whole thing is a learning process and I am willing to try anything. :)

    Ending up not even logging because it was hard to keep track of everything. Back on the grind today.

    355. No workout plus BBQ ribs and a trip to the gluten-free bakery. I'm glad that I did keep track. I'm afraid that if I hadn't it would have been much worse.

    I was over 690, and it may have been more or less. I estimated amounts. Ready to get back on track today. I need to take a good walk. I was also given the advice of drinking a lot of water today.

    Under by 48. Not much, but enough.

    I am a little irritated that I totally blew off my workout yesterday, however.

    I was 188 over. I had a couple of beers, ribs, chicken, backed beans, a hot dog without bun, 2 slices cantaloupe, and cauliflower (potato) salad, I think I may have underestimated for this meal cuz I just remembered the bacon wrapped peppers stuffed with cream cheese.....oops....it was worth it, and I had saved over 900 for the meal. Back to hard core today. LOL

    I was under by 364 calories.....

    Thats what happens when you don't wake up till noon, and don't roll out of bed till 2 pm.... hahahaha

    Everything starts late. And then I had to get to bed early to get up at 4:30 am today to workout and then go to work. :ohwell:

    I was at work for 8 hours and missed a meal (had a break for breakfast but not lunch and by the time I got home it was so close to dinner I grabbed some carrots and called it good) plus TOM hit which took away appetite, so I actually was about 200 UNDER my goal

    I was over by 494 calories; HOWEVER, none of it was from the temptations of donuts, muffins, cookies, or cakes. it was all real food! I did have french fries for lunch but other than that I was pretty pleased with myself yesterday and check out my profile pic this girl ain't sweatin' it she looks HOT! (pic is from yesterday!)

    I ate at Five Guys Burgers and Fries and I was 1000 calories under yesterday. Maybe the 4+ hours 8.5 mile hike had something to do with it? I'm banking those saved calories for the BBQ that I'm going to on Saturday. :)

    I ran my first official 5k in the morning which burned 432 calories, then later I played badminton in the backyard with my husband which burned another 191.

    We did our own thing at home and since I knew I wanted to BBQ, I had a National Hebrew 45 calorie hot dog for lunch (plus bun and fixings), and then later a 170 calorie turkey burger for dinner (plus bun and fixings).

    So if you include the extra calories I burned, then I was 585 calories under.

    It was a really great day and the best part was spending it with family and watching my kids watch the fireworks.

    Even though I ate light all day to save up for a party, I still went over by 635 calories (mostly in the form of bread, cookies and beer). That's okay, though - at least I'm now aware of the culprits and I'll continue to be more mindful of my cal intake in the future. This was still a major improvement over my past holiday consumptions!

    Wow a bunch of you did WAY better than me lol. I had the best of intentions, got a good work out in the morning (Insanity upper body weights) but man did I blow it. Sausage, ribs, homemade German potato salad with an bacon, homemade baked beans, gooey brownies and banana bread cupcakes filled with banana pudding with peanut butter cream cheese frosting did me in. Had a great time though at a cost of ~1100 calories over.

    I was 27 over; those 30 calories I forgot to log from broccoli at lunch put me over after I had already eaten my evening snack. But I'm celebrating tonight. I'm sure I'll be over.

    Oh I ate about 2000+ over!!!! I planned to exercise but I didn't. I was about 925 over when I got home, but when I stepped on the scale and saw I put on 6lbs of water, I guess I went overboard with the cookies and frozen yogurt!!!! Oh well!!!!! Haven't binged like that in a long time.....not going to beat myself up for it either!!!!! And I have a feeling this is going to be a bad weekend too!!!!! But hey, that's life!!!!!
