    My family eats pretty healthfully, so dinner isn't the problem. Now dessert is a total different situation!

    Like others have said, I'll try to get a run or bike ride in on xmas day.

    As for logging, I've been at this long enough to know how much I'm taking in without actually logging what I eat. At this point, I only log intermittently anyway.

    sounds like you need some prayers... i will pray for you... for your weight loss and your outlook on the birth of Christ. This is for the person who called the wise men wise guys.

    Well seeming as not all of the family is not on a diet I will be indulging a bit more than I usually do :) Normally on my days off o working out I indulge in a little something that I wouldnt eat on my workout days and I dont go overboard, I think thats key :)

    Not really. I'll use portion control and watch what I eat BUT I will allow myself 1 cookie.

    I'll be hiking and camping from friday to wednesday. I won't having a large feast on Christmas, so it won't be a gorge day. But I also don't plan on logging any of those days.

    I won't go crazy but I will eat what I want and won't be counting calories that day.

    I'll go for a 10 mile or 13 mile run then eat whatever the hell i like :-) roads will be empty and if I can wake up real early, I'll still have a full day to enjoy :-)

    I'll probably watch my calories during the day & eat lighter to save calorie allowance for dinner. Do at least 30mins of cardio before the dinner. And I'll only have 1 plate with a small piece of dessert.

    I'll make an exception for a box of chocolates during the day, love those.

    I'm thinking so long as I get plenty of exercise done on Christmas Eve I needn't fuss too much about one day. I've lost 55lbs, I'm not going to put it all back on in a one-er.

    I've had around 30 years of free days, I'll be sticking to my guns and keeping under daily caloric goal.

    Not sure what I'll be doing yet.....if I am travelling around seeing friends and family then It's unlikely i'll log much at all for a week or so....if I stay home I will log.

    Kind of. I'm not going to use it as a free pass to eat all the junk under the sun, but I am definitely going to enjoy some treats that I normally pass. It's one day out of 365, no big deal.

    I will probably eat at my maintenance calories for christmas and maybe the day after (for leftovers, of course) but i won't gorge myself. I don't feel good when I go crazy like that. Im also going to try to still do my exercise on christmas day. I usually dont do any on holidays because I am lazy, but this time I need to keep myself going no matter what!

    On thanksgiving i prelogged everything so that i knew exactly how much of each goodie i could eat and i stayed at about 1400-1500 and got to eat pie afterwards as a special treat!! yummo!

    I plan on doing a 45 or 55 minute workout in the morning to help add on to some calories I am able to eat for the day. I generally stick to between 1400-1600 calories no matter what I exercise and it is working really well for me; however, on christmas day (or other parties in general) I'll eat a couple hundred (yes only a couple hundred) more. I'll have a slice of pie for dessert with ice cream where normally I might just have a slice of pie. I want to be able to enjoy the day, and I will, but not regret it the next day.

    I'm going to eat whatever I want but I will log it. I will also do a run the day before and after to negate some of the extra calories.

    Yes, I will eat as much pumpkin pie (and other goodies) as I want. I will log everything. I will not shout or pout...I will just go back to normal as soon as it is gone or I throw it out. Did the same thing at Thanksgiving and did no damage.

    I am trying to be good between now and then in addition to doing another round of 30DS to keep me motivated.
