Are you going to log Christmas day?

kyrstensmom

Yes, I will log...including the "after presents" run I plan to do to give myself some wiggle room. We have healthier options planned for our feast (not heatlhy, mind you, just healthier than normal), and I plan to eat a small sliver of my homemade cheesecake and drink a bottle of wine....its gonna be an awesome day.

NO! My focus will be on my family and friends!

Said perfectly. I won't log, not because I don't want to know or because I'm going to binge badly - I probably won't log because I'll be with my family all day.

But you never know, I might log.. *shrug* I might even exercise *gasp*

Thank you for asking! I was going to ask the same thing, but I wasn't brave enough. My husband asked me and he doesn't think I should. I am thinking I might not, because I will beat myself up for it later. I plan on having cinnamon rolls with icing and a mimosa (or two) in the morning and we are making a big fat dinner later that day. Maybe I just don't need to know on this one day of the year, you know? I don't dare eat that stuff any other time.

I will be logging in everything everyday except for 2 weeks in that time I log what I eat and drink in a journal on my computer, I will have no internet connection for 2 weeks, so I'm going to do it the old fashioned way

drvvork

Oh yes, I will log...

ajball90

I want to log just because im curious how much i eat. Its good though, its summer here, so I just have prawns and salad, so it shouldnttt be too bad....but there is usually alot of dressing and cheese on those salads, so it probably will be quite alot still..so i will if i remember

mamagooskie

I will log in and visit ya'll and I will exercize......I might even log breakfast and lunch (even if that is chips and chocolate).....but once dinner time comes everything is ZERO calories and doesn't count!!

lynnmarie60

no, I'm giving myself that day off but I will eat in moderation.

basschick

Heck no!

yesomit

Maybe Maybe not but who cares it will be christmas:happy:

happymom92092

i just might. I logged Thanksgiving and was pleased to see I wasn't WAY out of whack...made me realize that I am thinking better about what I choose to eat.

TheAnonGit

I'm going to log. If I don't, I won't hold myself accountable. That will lead to me giving up and quitting. I don't really trust myself yet.

tsegears

Yeah, I'm going to try and track, but I'm hosting dinner, so I probably won't have a free moment. The good thing about hosting dinners for me is that I don't always get to eat everything that is on my plate, so that may be my saving grace. But, if I don't get to physically track on Christmas Day, I will make a mental note and track when I can. I won't rake myself over the coals if I go over my my calories for the day, but I won't continue eating the same way in the days following the holiday either.

Yep. I won't be adhering as strictly to my macronutrient ratios, but I plan on not gorging myself either. It's possible to stay within your goals and still enjoy yummy food/drinks. Not judging anyone here, I just feel lifestyle changes don't really require cheating. Cheating is what you do when you're on a diet Want to make a healthy and delicious meal for my husband and I that we both can enjoy There will be a 3 light beer/2 glasses of white wine limit, however, *dammit dammit dammit...*

Good for you! Sometimes I prefer doing that over using MFP just because my computer is getting so damn slow... Takes me like 10 minutes just to copy meals from the previous day.

gymshoe42

Nope. Not even going to care for the entire day. Much like I did for Thanksgiving. I'm working my butt off at the gym 5 days a week (even through a cold) and eating at my calorie targets .... so I'm going to reward myself on Christmas (and maybe even Eve) and not care! There's only so many calories one can take in before being too full, so ..I'm not gonna worry about it!

Absolutely. Not logging it doesn't mean you didn't eat it, it just makes it hard to see what effect it had on your body, because you don't have an accurate record. There is no way I wouldn't log. Information is power. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy my Christmas (within the constraints of my food allergies) but it does mean I will be accountable for all the decisions I make with regard to my body and health.

chatterbox3110

It's going to be harder logging accurately as we're at our daughters' for the day, but I'll still log my consumption, just to see how much I eat!

I know it'll be way above, I'm prepared for that as it is a special time of the year, but I have the rest of the week to get some exercise in and limit any damage I may have done!

Hola723

I will - but I'm not going to focus on every little calorie. I plan to use Christmas Day as a cheat day - I'll let myself enjoy the foods I like, without going crazy and overeating. But I'm going to log everything so that I have a realistic idea of how much I put into my body, just to hold myself accountable and keep myself informed. It might help me get back on track afterwards, too, instead of using that day as a slippery slope to eating poorly a few days later.

This.

PurpleCoookie

I might or might not. Didn't log on thanksgiving so i'll see

tickletickle

probably not. hmm maybe it'll just be quick add cals

trilikeagirl

I'll log it for better or worse. I couldn't not log because I don't want to break my streak.

monicamk1975

I will out of state and relying on someone elses computer, but if I can I will definately log my calories

FireRox21

Since I will probably have Christmas with my folks and my Mother-In-Law's, I will most likely not log. It is just too hard to calculate calories on homemade, made-from-scratch foods. Plus, I want to just enjoy the day. I like someone else's idea on this thread of just quick adding 4000 calories and being done with it!!

manvsfood

I'll probably just quick add the calories in the day before; but I might check up on my awesome fitness pals.

brittanidigby

Of course!
