    I ate 1/2 banana for breakfast. Tried to eat mainly veg and turkey for lunch then wasted the rest on cake and biscuits then stopped at 15over.

    7:05 - rolled out of bed with the determination to eat healthy and exercise today.
    7:09 - found a giant chocolate santa in my stocking...
    7:13 - halfway through the one pound santa and a few minutes before picking up a cinnamon bun I realized it was going to be a free day ;)

    I didn't log today and I don't feel even a little guilty because indulged I just won't let it carry over like I have in the past.

    I got to nearly lunch yesterday and turned into a chocolate and white bread roll eating monster. I have no idea how many cals I ate yesterday, and I am not sure I want to know. However, I have already done 1/2 hour yoga and over 1 1/2 hours of walking and it's 10:30am. I will probably do some yoga this arvo too, and eat veggies instead of choccies today.

    I can't believe I have so many calories LEFT. Granted we have not broken into the pumpkin pie and whipped cream yet.....or the chips and dip I bought for my Packer game......but I still have almost 700 calories to go! I might just make it after all! :drinker:

    I'm slightly OCD, so I actually enjoy counting calories and managing macros.

    Planning ahead is very helpful for me :smile: I don't go to sleep without the next day's menu planned from breakfast to supper! It's not uncommon for me to plan 2-4 days ahead, either.

    I was just going to quick add 2000 and call it a day but I added it all up out of curiosity and it all came out to only 1000 calories. That's dinner and cake! :laugh:

    I put a number in for Christmas Eve dinner that I was almost sure I didn't go over. At least not by more than a couple hundred calories. I might have been under by a couple hundred, too, but it was a heaping plate, with chips and dip and soda and a couple of cookies before dinner even got started, so I'm pretty sure it's about right.

    I gave up by lunchtime christmas day. We had kfc for lunch & although I didn't pig out, I knew that dinner would take me over calories so I stopped worrying about logging for the day.

    This morning I woke up with a terrible food hangover & I actually craved a walk to the supermarket to get the salad I was craving! :smile:

    Do you mean in general, or today?? I guess i thought you meant in general... so that's how i'm gonna answer!

    I stopped logging when i felt like i'd figured out what i needed to eat, and how what i was eating affected me. So, for me, that was after about 2 months. I've been on here every day for 4 months though, keeping me accountable by just being here. I'd lost about 15 lbs in the first 2 months, and managed to meet my goal weight earlier than anticipated. i was hoping to get there by the first of the year, and i made it on Dec. 9! So, i guess it worked for me! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    I'll always probably log my calories here. I track more than just my calorie counts though
