    I was almost 3,000, I think, which was pretty bad... But Sunday and today are much better, so I hope that means I didn't screw up my weigh in on Wednesday too badly... *fingers crossed!*

    So I went and had a nosey look at your diary... There's not even any BBQ... O.O I was expecting the biggest bbq list ever with ribs n cheese burgers pies n cake and red white and blue cup cakes... : /

    Tacos, sausages, bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed jalapenos were all bbq.

    In the interest of full disclosure, I am bloated by about 6 pounds. Will probably take a week or so to get rid of it.

    Raspberry Pop Tarts are the cure for this.

    I went over by 900, but I didn't log any activity that I did & its the first time I have gone over, so I put it behind me & moved on!

    I am truly amazed by some of these calorie counts.

    I'm kinda glad I didn't get invited to a barbecue this year.

    The 3rd (above) was my indulgent day (and to be honest, I really felt like I didn't do that badly at the cookout I went to). Friday I made up for it by drinking most of my calories and running between house parties. Then Saturday I crushed a 600 calorie hot fudge sundae for good measure. Refusing to get on the scale until Friday morning. :)

    Didn't track that day, but if I had to guess, I'd say somewhere around 2500. I got pretty drunk and I love BBQ food.

    1649 calories for me. Didn't do much of anything for the fourth but I did see a parade and a fireworks show and had a milkshake with a friend :)

    Had a healthy breakfast of bran flakes and almond milk and then ran 10 miles and had just a turkey sandwich and fruit for lunch...but then it went south the rest of the day. Potlucks and BEER are killers! We did have salmon and steak instead of brats/hot dogs but did I really need all of the other crap too?? Had a healthy breakfast on Saturday and then biked 16 miles...and again it went south, but not as bad as the 4th. Sunday was not much better either. I didn't even open my computer so did not track. I don't know how much I had on Friday but it was a lot. . It was a great weekend! Back on track today. :tongue:

    If I ran 10 miles one day and biked 16 miles the next, I'd be eating whatever the heck I wanted!! LOL

    I eat 2500 on workout days. :indifferent: I'd be pretty disappointed if that's all I ate during a celebration.

    I was around 1k over on the 4th, but that wasn't because it was the 4th, it was because I felt like it. This Saturday I'm cooking out and I've got plans for potato salad, mac and cheese, burgers, chicken, ribs, a brownie bottom cheeescake, cupcakes, booze...and little activity.

    I shall try to track accurately and see how I stack up against the great Magerum

    I don't log. I know I ate pounds and pounds of my homemade smoked pork, ate bowls and bowls of strawberry shortcake (BIG bowls), and drank and boatload of beers. And I sat and talked to family for the whole weekend.

    Yup. Great holiday in my books. :)

    I suspect BF and I will be having some sort of psuedo celebration this week- i bought steak and corn and baked beans last week- but we didnt' get make it- so I froze the steak- probably bust it out and do that- I may even make oreo brownies- and have those with ice cream ;)

    gotta dig deep and live a little sometimes!

    Wait. Why didn't I get the memo that July 4th was official "Eat Until You Puke....and Then Eat Some More" day? :huh:

    I barely hit 1300 calories (my usual) AND I ate ribs, shrimp kebabs, and Talenti Gelato. Delish!

    I could have easily eaten more, didn't puke. I eat 1300 calories of desert every, single, night. Your daily calories make me sad.

    Magerum, you're my hero. What all did you consume to get you there?

    1300? And you weren't puking? Because that sounds like the amount of calories I eat while puking.



    I'm confused.
