So how much over were you for the 4th?

About 200 under.0

Didn't do to much eating. Went to the gym first thing yesterday and burned 596 calories just in case i ate to much.0
-
Did the math/finished logging. I was 190 calories over.
Not NEARLY as bad as I thought...considering how much I drank. Lol.0 -
I went for a run in the afternoon, and ended up about 165 calories under for the day. But I am at maintenance now so I have room to play with.0

Did moderately well! I'm actually super proud of myself. I ate everything I wanted, but didn't eat more than just a little bit of each thing.
That's what I try to do on special occasions. In our case, we had no plans at all so I made it one of my 5:2 fast days. I did well with that despite a 20-mile bike ride and 20 minutes in the pool later, so definitely a nice calorie deficit. Back to normal eating today.0 -
Under by 192
Got 782 from my early morning workout!!0 -
Well I said this elsewhere- we had a work event ( I'm not in the US) that happened to be on the 4th, and it was a catered BBQ. I planned for it - had a good workout before, had a lighter breakfast, and the at the BBQ iahd chicken , steak and kebabs, lots of salad and grilled veg, and a small piece of watermelon. I didn't have hummus, bread, couscous, potatoes or dessert. I estimated the meal at 1069 cal. The two good things that came out of the day:
1. I felt great! The food was scrumptious and I enjoyed a great meal with great company. I didn't feel at all deprived or like I am being" punished". I didn't get that urge to "compensate" myself because I missed out. I *didn't* miss out - I had a great time.
2. I woke up with a weight loss! I know, fluctuations, look at the weekly picture blah blah but dammit I am embracing this loss as a prize for being good.0 -
Right on target. I'm boring like that.0
-
I was under, but I'm just getting over being sick and injured so I didn't really have an appetite until this morning. And since my total intake for Tuesday and Wednesday together was under 1200 (I know, not good, but I slept for 2 days straight with a back injury and fever) even if I had been over, I'd have been OK for the week.0

I was not over at all. but I think the only reason is because I have a stomach virus and basically the only thing I can eat is soup. but in a sense I was lucky because my and made her famous white bean/fennel soup which is extremely healthy and taste. I was under my calorie goal by a few hundred unfortunately.0

I was 180 calories over my goal. I am using that as inspiration to stay on track today!0
-
I didn't even bother to count my calories on the fourth. For one day I ate and drink (mostly alcohol and water) whatever I wanted.I didn't even feel bad since its one of my rare times I jumped off the wagon. Now that the holiday is over its time to get back to workout mode and back into eating right.0
-
Under by 198! Yay! I did eat back most of my workout calories though...
Got 986 from my early morning workout!!0 -
I was smart and went for a 5 mile trek first thing in the morning. Worked well, since I was still under for the day!0
-
I went about 800 over. Even though I ran in the morning, what killed me was not planning for lunch. By the time we arrived at the picnic, I was really hungry; everybody wanted a hot dog so I had one too. Hot dogs make me feel crappy, but I ate one anyway. *Always do that--eat something I shouldn't because everyone else is* I also had a homemade hamburger for dinner, however my husband bought piedmontese beef which is the leanest beef you can purchase. I'm a grazer when it comes to eating. Holiday picnics offer fertile ground for me to graze .
On the upside, I'll have exercised 6 days this week and moving on to W4 D1 on C25k!
Not going worry about those deviled eggs and Doritos.0 -

Great job! It's really important to learn how to deal with those occasions, and I also enjoy small portions of meat, much larger portions of salads and veggies, and avoid most of the starches. Socializing helps, too- it's not all about the food.0 -
I added an extra workout to compensate for the extra later. No ribs, but we did have buttered popcorn and I was still in a calorie deficit. I get worried when I do not have my deficit so I always try, plan, rework, or just add an little more exercise for the end of the day.0

Today was the day for BBQ's, potlucks, and dinners with friends, a day most people probably planed to go over and not be to worried about it. So how much were you over?0
-
I was over by about 1000, almost double my calorie budget. MFP has really opened my eyes to quantity/quality of food values, and made me realize how I have gotten to the point I have. It was shocking to see how many calories and sodium I got from that one Zaxby meal yesterday. I had my scales and measuring cups out this morning...no more guessing!0

It was my sister's birthday, so I didn't log dinner, but I had lots of sushi, including the kind with fried stuff in it, and they gave us banana tempura with chocolate syrup and ice cream that was to die for. So I probably went over like 500-600 calories. I resisted having cake though, and I was proud of that.0
