Did you log your food today? 12/25/10

Being a shiftworker xmas day isn't really xmas day - but I logged all of my equivalent (the works xmas party last saturday) and its given me a goal over the last week to increase my exercise a bit each day last week to accommodate the one day blow out.

Having planned to be bad last weekend its been recorded and compensated for - so one week on no damage done.

I didn't really plan to log today because it would be crazy busy with Christmas on top of being away from home (which usually makes it harder to log). I ended up doing a quick plan yesterday and being able to mostly stick with it. I estimated portions for Christmas lunch but besides that was able to log accurately. One more day of Christmas food here to go (and hoping to get rid of more of the cookies I baked to share so I don't have them sitting back at home to tempt me!)

I logged as close as I could get since the only thing I measured/weighed out was my wine (I had like 6 glasses :drinker: ). I usually weigh out EVERYTHING I put in my mouth, but with all the running back & forth, I didn't really weigh & therefore my log may not be accurate but I logged & if I was really less than what I thought, then that's a bonus. I also made sure EVERYTHING was gluten free since family from both sides was coming to our house & I have Celiac's (gluten allergy); so there was good, healthy foods - lots of fresh veggies, chicken bites to snack on & a good healthy dinner: the worst things we had was some cheese & my Mummy's homemade chocolate cake (which is made with less than 1/4 of the sugar the recipe calls for :happy: so is REALLY good )

Either way, I started my day at 0700 by doing a good 60+ min workout to get started, which made me feel good. My jeans are still loose, my tight white top still looks good, my stomach is not bloated to hell & I'm actually getting a little hungry (as it's been 3 hours since I ate :laugh: ). Just because it was a Holiday is no reason to totally slack, at the same time, I still celebrated & had a good time & our bodies need that reminder that they still have to "work" and this doesn't come easy. In the end, it looks like I was around 800-1000 over on calories, almost 100 over on protein & well over on fiber: everything else was still in the green

I'll still workout tomorrow & have already planned a killer 60min ab routine along with at least 15-20 mins of a cardio workout to really get my metabolism moving :happy: And if my fiance works out with me, it will be even better
Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Holiday with family & friends & wishing you ALL a VERY Happy & Safe New Years :flowerforyou:

I wasnt going to log today until I read this thread so I did... I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was this bad. I ate two days worth of calories today. It is better to be honest with my self and know the truth than to be in denial. I cooked and hosted lunch dinner for 30 friends and family. It was a great Christmas and tomorrow is a new day. I plan to drink lots of water, eat right and run 5k.

Yes and thank god I went on a 7 mile run!

Days like today are hard to log, though, because there is SO much grazing. Plus I sort of attacked pie...

I logged, and made sure I stayed under - only by 6 calories, though! LOL! I'm doing low carb, and I was a teeny bit over my usual, but still at an ok amount. My gift to me was not cheating, but I get why people do. Whatever works!
