Thanksgiving dinner

LOL @ counting on Thanksgiving. But if I guessed I really think I have ate/drank 6,000+ cals since 6pm on Wednesday night.

Wed night: Double Double from in n Out followed by a night bar hopping with the wife
Thursday Morning:
-Weighed myself and passed the 90lb total lost mark since may 10th, then ate a banana and went on a 5 mile run
-Returned from Run and had a huge breakfast - Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, potatoes
-Football started so I thought the best thing to do would be to pick up from where I left off the night before and start drinking beer again - it's like 10 am at this point
-Kept drinking beer
-More beer
-Thanksgiving Dinner - O wow I only had one plate but man I filled that thing up with every serving and ate the whole damn thing - Stuffed!
-Somehow was able to continue drinking beer
-Desert! Huge slice of pinapple cheesecake and a piece of pumpkin pie topped with cool whip
-Yup more beer
-Finished the night off with a 24oz Bud Light and a snickers bar then passed out
-Woke up at 3am this morning felt like I was going to die
-Now - - somehow made it to work and still feel like I'm going to die

Recovery mode in full effect!

You Rock!!! Funny> I think I had about the same day as you;-) except no cheesecake-wish it would have been there..

I over did it yesterday and that's why I'm here today. I've got to find a way to lose some of that extra weight I picked up. Any tips would be appreciated to get me back on track.

it's a common occurrence for me to over do it on the holidays. I found a good blog to help me "recover" from my over eating without feeling depressed. You can find it at this link. http://www.urgravity.com/Blogs/

Good luck.

I had that much in cheesecake alone.

I did it, Thanksgiving dinner only 459 calories, and I'm stuffed.

Awesome job. You've got me beat. Including my dessert, I had 486 calories and was also stuffed. It feels good to navigate such a holiday, be satisfied and sensible at the same time. :drinker:

How does one "stuff" themselves with <500 calories?

Today started with a run, then a Krispy Kreme donut, and well then I got serious . . . about eating. I don't go crazy but I do enjoy. Its one holiday, Christmas will be another, I'll probably have cake and ice cream on my birthday (and heck even my wife's and kids' birthdays) and I will undoubtedly eat BBQ on July 4th. Soooo that's 7 days vs 358 when I pretty much behave myself.

Well said!

I forgot to add the quote referring to how do you stuff yourself with less than 500 calories.


Lots and lots of veggies. I had turkey and honey baked ham as well. I also made myself a low-carb, sugar-free pumpkin pie which was really freakin' good. I had that while everyone else had the other desserts, blackberry pie, apple strudel and chocolate cake. My plate was filled up, just like everyone else's plate.
