    I went a bit over maintenance for most of the week, and enjoyed every last cookie morsel of it. Yummmmm

    Between the side dishes (butter and more butter, in everything) and eating deserts, yes that's plural, I'm guessing I was about 4000 over. Crap, that's over a pound of body weight. But the good news is I'm right back on track.

    I also noticed that deserts are not tasting as good as I thought there were. It just tastes overly processed and way to sweet. This is coming from a guy who used to eat some sort of sweet after every single meal.

    Didn't log it, but maybe about 3500 extra kcal over the stretch of 3-4 days? Totally worth it!

    Worked Christmas day so nothing then. Christmas Eve and Boxing day however...maybe 1500 cals over on each! Still down 1lb at weigh in today though. :)

    I ate about 9,000 calories over that weekend, but I don't consider it "overeating." It was just eating. It was a lot, but there was nothing wrong with it.

    Yup. No stress here. I ate what I ate. I estimate that I went over probably about 3000 calories. I was a little under the next couple days and was down over 1 lb when I weighed. One day / week isn't worth stressing my life over. I would much rather enjoy the time with my family and sort it out after :)

    I took 3 days off and stuffed my face. Did not keep a log, but I reckon I ate 15,000 - 20,000 calories over that period.

    I have had no problem climbing back on the wagon with calorie counting and exercising, although I am still eating some of the food I have left over, so diary is not too clean.

    I will do this next year, but will ensure that I buy less food.

    I'm kind of over reminiscing about what I ate during the holidays.

    I really think Christmas and Christmas Eve are over rated too.

    :laugh: That's how I read it too

    I logged but it was 'on the run' so just an approximation.

    I'm guessing a few hundred extra cals for each of the 4 days I wasn't at home.

    It's all good, a metabolic reset, etc.

    I really don't know.. And I don't really care, either.

    It was all worth it.

    Yup, this! I haven't logged for a week. Too much grazing to keep track off it all and having too much fun with family that I don't get to see as often as I'd like to bother. Now that we've finally finished off the leftovers, I'm back on track. Metabolic reset over!
