    Yes! And, I enjoyed each bite!

    I guesstimated the turkey dinner. I purchased it from TJ's, it was turkey with cornbread dressing. I don't have a scale, so I do alot guessing. I'm probably over 400 cals. No big whoop! In the gym in the a.m.

    I've done okay on calories but a little over on carbs, which is what I'm counting, but not crazy over so I guess it's a good day and I don't feel deprived. Low carb pumpkin pie is okay but not great. :ohwell:

    I ran 4 miles of hard hills this morning then went for a walk with my husband before dinner. We didnt have that many different types of food, but did have tons of desserts. I logged pie but didnt eat it all. (not good tasting pie) we also ate mid day so lunch and dinner was one meal. I didnt go over cals but when I have carbs I gain weight anyway.

    Yep. I planned on it and heavens, if we can't have a cheat/splurge day on THANKSGIVING, when the heck CAN we? LOL! I actually have been experimenting over the past few months, playing with maintenance and losing a couple of pounds over all. It's coincided with some extremely stressful weeks at work, and a medical issue I was dealing with, so I haven't let myself get down.

    All it does is reinforce the fact that it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound, and even eating 6000 calories, if your TDEE is 2000 ish, that's still just over a pound.

    Seriously, am I going to stress over 1 -- ONE -- O N E pound. Heavens no.

    If you could see me grinning with the knowledge that the worst I could POSSIBLY do, would be 1.5 lbs of damage, and that's nearly impossible. So.. Nope. NOT Worried about it :)

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    Yep I went over but it was only one meal out of 21 for the week so I'm not sweating it. We went out for a buffet dinner around 4ish and I started with a salad and ended with bread pudding and lots in between. No leftovers to taunt me and back to all my regular foods tomorrow. So it's all good!

    190 calories over... I should have exercised today to cover it.

    I'm thinking it's going to be okay though because I was moving most of the day and didn't log any burn but it was beyond my normal activity level by a bunch.

    NOPE! :happy:

    I'm quite proud of myself. I had been planning this day for about 3 days. But it's easy because no one brought anything. I did ALL the cooking :grumble:

    I am under, but I did have a higher than usual total. I wore an incentive....first pair of new jeans since I started this and they are two sizes smaller than my old pair.

    Yes, I thought I would though. I view it as.... When I lose my weight, I'm human and there will be days, when I over indulge.
    Still, I do have some guilt. We have to have a second TG on Friday, this is what concerns me. I'll try and maintain....

    No not over, but I was careful to prelog everything and then fix my plate by what I logged. I wouldnt let myself have anything that I hadnt logged, But just the sodium will be enough to do me in for a couple days.

    128 calories under. But I ran/walked 90 minutes to negate my expected consumption. Had 1600 calories for dinner. Whew!

    I am over my daily goal by a few hundred and I don't feel like exercising tonight. Soda is what actually put me over, I would have been fine without the Pepsi. But it tasted sooo goood. I hadn't had a sip of soda in weeks until today.

    I didn't even really count but I am sure I will be crying tommorow and it is weigh in day. But I need to do it so I can learn to plan my day better. I have already decided Christmas will be better. Plus even if I make cookies after today I have no plans to eat them, so I will be happy baking for my friends and kids teacher. I was thinking of making Mind Jars too. Google it a nice easy craft project to reduce stress oops sorry not related to the post but why not (they are also called fairy jars)

    I did!! about 500 over!! however, I did work out this morning and I'm about to go get on my stationary bike to cover those extra 500 calories!! I don't think I went overboard, I just enjoyed the day and I had mentally prepared for today!!. So I say to all MFP enjoy your day, it's only once a year, well, twice,:drinker: when you include Christmas, in which I will menatlly prepare and work out again for that day. Enjoy, drink! and be merry!!

    I ate a bunch as planned, and there's no way I could track it with all the homemade dishes. I just put 5k into quick add calories, though I'm sure I didn't eat quite that much. Back in action tomorrow.

    Surprisingly, I didn't go over. I would have though if there was 'nuff food to go around. My father had some last minute work and didn't cook the turkey, bread, dressing, or sides. We had a dinner at my grandmother's house and luckily she bought a ham the day before. We scavenged the kitchen for sides dishes and made a pumpkin pie. :laugh:

    I have to say (and I'm not trying to rub it in, I'm just really proud of myself) that I only went over by 400 cals today! and that was without exercising! so I'm practically considering it a NSV because I thought my cals for the day were going to be outrageous (and I told myself this morning I would be okay with that) but I managed to keep it together and really watch my portions, nipped at the mashed potatoes, avoided the dinner rolls completely and just sampled the desert. Also didn't eat huge meals during the day just snacked because I opted to save room for dinner =) but tomorrow is another day, so even if you did go over today you can work it off at the gym tomorrow...

    no I didn't go over but if I have another slice of cheesecake then I will go over by about 60 or so. nothing big. but I think I'm good. we'll see if I want it after we come home from the movies. oh and I logged 3 glasses of festive apple sangria but I've only had 1 so far. I could polish off the pitcher and still only go over by a couple hundred. but at least I'd be tipsy enough I wouldn't care!
