My Planned NSV: anyone pre-fill Thanksgiving Food Diary?

NewLIFEstyle4ME

I just pre-filled/pre-planned my Thanksgiving diary and I'm THRILLED! Not only will I have 146 extra cals left-over (that's WITHOUT exercising that day). AND the only thing I went over on is PROTEIN and FIBER and also my sodium by 219 something and My daily goal without exercise is 1450.

Everything else will be below range...ALL of my Macros--WOOT!

I'm going to be pigging-out on ALL of my favorites bigtime and also HALF my cake (or pie in this case) and eat it too. I'm thrilled.

Have you pre-filled your Thanksgiving menu/foods? If so, how's it looking...if not, why not?

I probably will once we decide what we're having. I just know I'm going to need lots of room for my homemade desserts. I love to bake!

My 'why not' is because I have absolutely no idea what will be there! It's a pot luck. But I feel confident and trust myself to not go over on calories. I'll stay away from alcohol and the dessert table and limit myself to one plate.

No, because I plan to eat whatever and how much ever I want. I'm not even logging for that day. I don't plan to log for Christmas either.

Edited to add...my goal is to purposely go over on my calories just by "eye balling" it. If there's pumpkin pie and other yummy goodness (which there should be) then I should have no problems achieving this goal.

I don't think I will log that day. I plan on eating a small amount of everything, and enjoying the day with my family. I have been doing excellent this week in preperation for turkey day and I'm not too worried about it.

How can it be pigging out if you eat the same amount of calories you always do?

Excellent question...it's going to be "pigging out" for me, because I don't usually cook and eat these things regularly.

That's kinda sad actually, to have a compulsion to pre log a holiday meal

I like how you think! I might log what I 'plan' to eat first thing that morning. I am doing a 5K race that day also. So I will pre-plan to not go over my daily calorie goal on the thanksgiving meal, and save my morning exercise calories for desserts.

Sad/sadness is relative--like trash, one person trash is another person's treasure...it's so not sad to me--it's SUPER thrilling and wonderful. To me, It's super wise and cool --not sad in the least. :smooched:

one are some people just so negative all the time. i say if you follow your diet and stay within your calories normally what harm is it to plan to enjoy a nice meal with your family. go for it girl and have a blast doing it.
