    ALL THE FOOD!!!!! I work out too hard to not enjoy my food a few times a year. No guilt! Just enjoy comfortable amounts of the food I want. I'll run 8 miles or so the next day.

    yup^^^

    I find it close to impossible to try and log food for holidays and while away on vacation. I created a customized meal for them that has 3000 calories with ample carbs and fat included. It's just a wild estimate, but it's better than nothing and works well for me. I watch my numbers pretty closely and zeros for those days would throw all the stats off, so I needed to have something and it actually seems to be about right in the big picture. That's about a thousand more than my target calories, so it helps me adjust my other days and exercise calories to compensate.

    I still try to make healthier choices and don't take either as an excuse to overeat beyond reason. I just don't bother trying to count or log the actual foods on those days.

    I have 3 thanksgiving meals this week, and I have planned these to be my cheat meals knowing full well I will gain. I plan on eating anything and everything I see on the table

    Honestly, it's Thanksgiving. I am going to eat whatever I want too. The thing is, it's ONE meal. Not All day, not all week, etc. Will I go over on my calorie count.....Probably. It's OK. The most important thing to remember is that it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. Continue eating healthy and working out and if you reward yourself once in a while, it works!

    Since we have cut back on our favorite foods, we decided the heck with the bird! While we are still doing my wife's sausage stuffing and some pumpkin pie, we are getting a couple of large pizzas from Papa Murphy's the day before to bake on Thanksgiving and enjoy. We are also going to a movie and have movie popcorn. :devil:

    I am prepared to eat a little bit of everything. I will have samples of desserts and I am going to drink beer. I will log the best that I can. I will probably go way over my calories but that is OK. I might gain a pound and that is OK too. It is Thanksgiving and I am going to enjoy it. :)

    I'll be making up a Jennie O Turkey, Turkey Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Cocktail, and having Coconut cream pie for a different chance of pace. Planning on a run Thursday morning. Planning on eating guilt free as well. :)

    For the one we are hosting turkey, homemade pumpkin pie, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry orange sauce, green beans, rolls , and some corn possibly .

    At my husbands aunts , hmm ham, turkey, pie, potatoes, whatever they have in moderation I wont be eating breakfast either of those days since we eat at 3pm . It will be easer to stay within my calories that way . umm looking forward to having left overs all next week no cooking for me yay!!
