    I'll probably drink more than I eat.

    I like you.

    Is that a hot dog wrapped in burger, wrapped in bacon? A hotburcon?

    10/10 would bang.

    I've done the dog wrapped in bacon but never had I added burger. Well played. Well played.

    Stick to my routine beforehand. Eat and drink what I want on the holiday. Return to my routine the next day.

    Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Yeah...I love the "oh noes, a holiday is coming" threads...

    Srsly....holidays are occasions...nobody became fat because of an occasion...it's an occasion...you get fat when you treat every day like an occasion.

    Personally, I'm going to eat whatever the hell I want and drink all the beer and ya know what? It's gonna be fine...because it's an occasion, not an everyday occurrence.

    I'll be out of town at the "Cabin" for 4 days over the 4th. My plan? I'm going to cook up some food the night before I leave and do a little meal prep for my breakfasts/lunches. Dinners I'll probably join in with what the others are having, but stay mindful and track what I have. On the 4th itself I'll hopefully be out on the boat, enjoying a drink or two, and just enjoying the day. If I go "over", that's fine. I'll live and move on. :smile:

    Skydiving at 8am (weather permitting)

    Then host a small get together at my house:

    Smoke up about ten lbs of ribs on El Cheapo Brinkmann (that really is my cheap *kitten* smoker)

    Enjoy it, be aware of what I am eating, but not stress. It's one day and it's not going to derail my months of hard work :smile:

    If I run a half marathon I'm gonna eat whatever the hell I want.


    ....I actually do that anyway. But especially if I run a half.

    I might be working, so there's that.

    If not, I'm gonna eat the foods, drink a couple drinks and apply sunscreen like my life depended on it. Holidays didn't make me fat.

    I like you guys! I of course have to work :( But then, to my Mom's for dinner where I will eat what ever is around! Then head home and have some beers and watch the fireworks. But skydiving, hotdog bacon burgers, saving the world, and ribs sound much more exciting! And someone mentioned potato salad? Yes!

    My strategy? Eat all the food! It's one day. Life's too short to eat carrots and bunless burgers at a July 4th cook out.

    Me and you will be in the corner at the end of the day holding our stomachs and crying in pain but a little joy lol

    Going to a party at SIL so will probably bring some healthy stuff to share. Stuffed tomatoes probably. She has been on MFP and lost some weight so she will probably have some healthy options available.

    ETA - also has swimming pool so I will bring pool noodles for a good workout.

    1. Grab an adult beverage
    2. Load up a plate with whatever looks amazing
    3 Shove that down my gullet
    4. Hop in the pool

    Rinse, repeat, and deal with it on Monday. :) enjoy your holiday, friends, and family. Life is short.
