LOL at the quick add 4k in calories, but seriously may not be the worst idea....0
-
Without a doubt! I'm so proud of the work I've done that I want to keep tracking my progress!0

I'm gonna quick add ball park it.0

Yes. I'll log Christmas day just like I log the occasional Christmas cookie and just like I logged Thanksgiving. There are no vacations from a healthy life style and I don't know about you, but I've had enough of allowing myself to do something 1/2-way. Either I'm in it all the way, or I'm not. I've had 20 some years of "days off". That's how I got here in the first place. Mindless eating. I refuse to go back to that place, even for 1 day. It's just not worth it.0

i dunno.....i feel off the wagon last week and have been chasing that b*#ch ever since....lol.....i think i wil though...0
-
Absolutley not, it will make me depressed. I am however taking a pledge to fix my dinner healthier. Regular yams, no brown sugar or marshmellows. Jello instead of pumpkin pie.. etc. I know that I will be over but not as much as last year. Also, working it hard the next couple of days afterward.0
-
Nope. I'm not the cook, so there's no way I'd even be able to guesstimate exactly how many calories are in things.0
-
probably, I might log on with my phone. That will be a little more inconspicuous then getting on the computer while everyone is opening presents and drinking eggnog.0
-
Probably will. I don't think I ever gone overboard with my Christmas meals. If I do, it could be a cheat day.
I'm cooking, therefore, fatty food will be so little and I will steam LOT of carrots and green beans LOL,, love being the cook!0 -
YES!!! I am going to enjoy myself, but not go crazy with eating goodies. I will blow my caloric count, I know, but I do want to keep track..but have fun in the process.0
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe not0
-
Not only am I going to log in but Im going to bring my measuring cups and mini scales with me to my brothers for dinner, It will drive him nuts :-)0
-
I'm going to log. I'm planning on going over my limits but, I feel best logging everything - even if it's naughty0

Absolutely logging Christmas! If I cannot enjoy Christmas Day because I view it negatively it defeats the purpose of what I am working on. One day does not a lifetime make! I am changing my lifestyle - I am not dieting although obviously I am losing weight. But there is a difference. I am going out tomorrow for our office lunch and Christmas party. I will be over calories. So what? I can burn those extra calories off over the next week and do the same at Christmas.0

I'll be logging it ahead of time, just like I have done for Yule (21st December). I'm only even eating anything special on the day, because my mum's going to be here. Otherwise; it's just another day, as I celebrate Yule.
I won't be "pigging out" over the holidays... simply because I don't want to.
There's no temptation for crap food, because I really don't like most of it! I'm going to be making some homemade desserts based on green tea (my favourite!) and keep everything soya and tofu, entirely because I cannot eat diary, and I damn well love soya and tofu.
I honestly don't even know what I'd gorge on over the holidays... I think I'd be full after a mince pie, if I liked them, that is!0 -
I am going to log it all but i know i will go over on my calories but I am not going to freak out over it. I have only went over on calories one time since I started logging so I think I'm good.0
-
Probably will as I am the cook so have already tried to plan what I will eat without going crazy, aiming to stay within my calories by averaging the week and doing plenty of exercise. I want to enjoy a few glasses of Christmas vino!0
-
yep! its just as good as any other day.0
-
Not a chance in hell.0
-
Yes, it won't be pretty, but still going to log!0
-
Yes! Only because I want to keep my streak going! Haha. But I don't care if I'm 5000 calories over (I hope I'm not, but you know, it's Christmas)0
-
Certainly will!0
-
I promised that as part of this process, I would be honest with myself, so yes. Doesn't mean that I will stress about it, but if I get in the mindset that I will stop logging when it is a bad day for calories, I will sink myself.0
-
Yes I will log everyday! If my calories are highon christmas day , I will know exactly what i need to work off the next few days... So why not log? #Imjustsayin
:huh:0 -
I definitely will be logging to the best of my ability.
If I dont start now, Ill never learn how to portion control during the holidays.0 -
Seeing as the 25th is just another day for me, yes.0
-
Good question! Got to have a day off the diet I'm thinking. Will still log everything I eat/drink though, so I can balance it out over the following week. 1 day can't make such a huge difference surely?! Don't want to lose my count of days again.. I got to 110 and went away for the weekend and we didn't have wi fi in the hotel so couldn't log in for a few days.. so I had to start at day 1 again! So annoying!0
-
Sure am! I like the idea of logging it ahead of time so I know how much I should eat to keep on track.0
-
Most DEFINITELY........for me this is a life change not a diet!0
-
NOPE!!!!!! I just want to focus on enjoying the day (and the food- lol). If there is one day of the year to take it easy on logging food- its Christmas!
