I went into Christmas not sad to indulge in the once a year treats. Did NOT get on the scale this morning and been back on track today. Just hoping it won’t take me a month to undo the progress I have made lol

Still working on this. I’ll let you know how fabulous I did.8

About to sit down to turkey dinner with all the sides, and an amazing chocolate raspberry truffle cake for dessert. I plan to enjoy every single bite!13

Not great. Probably lost weight, as usual.12
-
Bad enough to not think about it.. but I did get exercise equipment and an electronic spiralizer for Christmas. So.. tomorrow .. yeah.. back to it.4
-
I don't think I did too badly. I had lots of vegetables, ate a pretty normal amount of food for me and had a serving of dessert. I enjoyed everything.
I am not going to weigh myself for about 5 days yet so I think by then I will be back to my normal routine.3 -
I went way over and if I weigh in the morning I will probably see a weight above my upper limit but it won't be real. I have consistently been close to 3 pounds under the top of my range until this morning and after yesterday's excesses I was only 2 pounds under. After today's I could even be up at limit, but it would mostly be water weight. I could actually gain a pound before I get back to it. I am in maintenance, so it's just by choice that I like being lower in my range. I won't be frantic about it.6

I somehow ended up under calorie goal which may or may not be the case because of guestimations. Lots of fresh salad and meat to make up the bulk of my food with a yummy homemade fruit mince pie as a nice treat.
I am away on vacation by the beach so there is plenty of opportunities for heaps of walking. It will be interesting to see what the numbers on the scales say when I het back home.4 -
I skied 73 miles over the last 5 days, 20 of them yesterday. I've been pretty indulgent with food, but I'm feeling good about it. Just got home, and the oven is preheating for tacos.

I did good, completely unintentionally. I estimated some of it but I’m maybe 100 calories over my daily goal. Ate fruits and veggies and protein first, stopped when I was full, and had some chocolate and fudge because gimme.
The sodium was probably outrageous so not weighing in for a few days lol.2 -
Stayed within the calorie, carb, fat goal I set for myself. And my weigh in on Saturday so feel pretty good. First year in forever that I can say I stayed on track.3
-
I ate a lot. I did a lot of cardio. It's a macro mess.
Monday morning I logged a 2 lb loss. Tuesday morning I logged a 1 lb loss. I expect to close my diary today in the green and also to have something of a rebound gain tomorrow.1 -
100 calories over maintenance which will balance out over the rest of the week. We really didn’t do much food wise this year.1
-
I eat maintenance during the holidays. I don't find it too hard to stick to my 2600 (high end of maintenance) for two days. I never end up gaining over the holidays when I do that. My maintenance is plenty enough to have a huge dinner and the desert I want if I keep my calories light during the day.4
-
I'm going to be slightly over maintenance calories. I didn't eat breakfast (not on purpose but that's how it ended up because I woke up late accidentally), had a big Christmas lunch that was over 1000 calories, then had a smaller dinner and many desserts throughout the day (559 calories worth!). I also walked three miles because it's our tradition to go for a walk around the neighborhood after holiday dinners. Overall we had a pretty low-key Christmas but even at the Christmas party I went to a few weeks ago with tons of food I was only slightly over maintenance calories.1
-
Slightly into maintenance calories, mostly due to 800 calories of alcohol.2

Well about half the pound of chocolate covered cinnamon bears I got from my in laws are gone, but I shared. And I had 2 small slices of pie after lunch and random treats hear and there so I'm not tracking or caring today. That being said I also took mu kids sledding and had to walk up and down that hill a whole lot so hopefully it evens out.2
-
Last night's dinner was a full blown cheat, I half *kitten* eyeball logged it. I was about 200 under maintenance at the end of the day, way over on fats carbs and protien. Today I ate normal, I usually do steak and fries for Christmas dinner with my uncle so I did a sirloin and sweet potato fries instead of a ribeye and steak fries.1
-
I did terrible today. Helped at homeless mission and they had delicious food, sweets were so cute, reindeer cookies and santa, I just lost it, hopefully back on track tomorrow. I wonder if skinny people lose it this season?6
-
Today i ate.
Enough said.8 -
Just another day of eating.5
-
Yikes. I didn't keep track. I'm pretty sure after the last 3 days that I will gain 1-3lbs. I'm not weighing again until the 1st though so hopefully if I did gain I can at least lose some of it by then. I will be back on track tomorrow.0

I ate pretty crazy on Christmas Eve (Chinese food, chocolate, and alcohol) but today honestly not that crazy. I didn't drink as much water as I should have...but I basically just ate a smallish brunch, some yogurt, and soup with a grilled cheese. I am normally always a daily weigh-in person but I think I'm gonna wait 'til Friday morning to weigh next mainly just because I know the sodium and lack of hydration will cause a little spike I don't wanna know much...0

I maintained within range of my goal weight... yay! But I’ve been maintaining for 5 years so I know that I can even out any holiday overeating during the next few days/weeks by eating slightly less and ramping up my exercise a bit (I ran a 10K on Xmas day) I’ve had a fantastic holiday and hope you all have too!

I ate over on Christmas day by about 1000 calories. Not a biggie. But today I went a bit bonkers on the leftovers! I live on my own and didn't want to throw any food out as I hate wasteage so I ate it 🙄 And then I ate some cheese. I think I was around 2000 - 2500 over today.
I'm not going to worry about it too much to be honest. Any gain will eventually come off again.

To be fair, I've been loosely logging 2-3 days a week for the past couple of months so I've had some weight creep, about 5 pounds but still within margin of my weight range.
No regrets for it being the holidays, I guess I should call it a mini bulk. 5 -
its a holiday. its not doing bad or doing good. its a HOLIDAY. a few days out of a year. it will not undo your progress unless you turn a couple of days into weeks and months.

Nothing crazy, but I didn't log.
Had just a late/larger breakfast and then dinner on both days. Christmas Eve for a change (and because I knew I'd be busy) did a boeuf bourguignon, and my sister did an additional veg (high cal holiday veg with cauliflower and broccoli plus cheese, etc.). Plan was to have ice cream after midnight mass, but we were all tired.
Nice Christmas brunch of bacon and eggs plus some leftover vegetable and some fruit on Christmas, and then a friend had a Christmas dinner I attended that involved roasted turkey breast, a savory bread pudding, and holiday brussels with bacon and chestnuts, dessert was a poached pear. Stuck to reasonable serving sizes both dinners.0 -

The rebound gain happened. Wednesday I weigh less than I did Sunday. That's not bad.1 -
I have no idea how bad I did as far as calorie counting goes.
I did a lot better this year than I have in years past. I mostly ate foods that I don't eat everyday & skipped out on the ones that I can pretty much eat any day of the year. I definitely didn't eat as much as I did the one year in maintenance where I was practically on the floor rolling around in pain & my sister commented that it was like I was having a food hangover.
My meal consisted of two plates of homemade baked mac & cheese, homemade sausage dip (my sister made this & it was really good), deviled eggs, & little smokies.
My dessert was a bit on the gluttonous side, but I had a whole container of Turkey Hill Egg Nog ice cream & around three servings of Aldi's Millville Brand Snickerdoodle Kookies cereal.
I'm sure I way overestimated my calories on MFP, but it was worth it to indulge in a family celebration rather than skip out & become too obsessive about calorie counting. I did eat my dessert after most of my family left in case I got any weird stares or judgments.0
