    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.
