..that IS the question...I have for you! Ha ha!
I was just curious how many of you were logging your calories versus not logging your calories. How many of you are taking a break/keeping an eye on it versus continuing to track everything on Thanksgiving day? I've seen several different threads regarding the topic and I was wondering myself!
What are you going to do?

don't log - no use and it will just take the joy out of family and food...
just be sensible, no seconds on mains or desserts, you can have seconds on veggies or healthier choices
enjoy!0 -
I'm going to log....or at least try as best I can since I won't be able to tell exactly how each dish was made. I'm probably going to hit the gym that morning too to act as a buffer just in case0

I think we all need a cheat day every once in a while....:) from logging.....0

Log it. I did for the Halloween celebration at my Aunt and Uncle's and I still managed to lose that day.0

I like having somewhat of a clue of what I put in my mouth. Logging is what keeps me motivated and on track. Even though it's Thanksgiving, I am going to log.0

Out walking today I was contemplating this very same thing. Not planning on all Hell breaking loose and I am going to stay in control but wasn't planning on bringing my scale either.....the dilemma of it all :P
my plan of action for the day:
1. eat breakfast
2. doing a turkey day 5k (walk/jog)
3. sensible portions at dinner
4. a few beers for the Jet game:drinker:
gonna try and log so I stay the course, I guess :bigsmile:0 -
Not logging... only the following days when I plan on having leftovers in moderation w/ exercise to hopefully offset the damage!0
-
I'm logging... even if I go way over. I know that I need to hold myself accountable, even on the worst days.
I also entered a 5k that morning to give myself a few extra calories.

I was just thinking about this, I'm definately going to log because I don't want to lose my "tymberwolf20 has logged for X days in a row...." but I am going to work out in the morning to create a buffer.
I did have one idea, so as not to take the fun out of it, I may just be sure to eat sensible, but "quick add" just a large number of calories....

So right there with you. I have done amazing this week and plan to do amazing until thursday. On Thursday I am free free free! No counting no logging no exercise. Friday it is right back to the grind though. I plan to do the same for Christmas.0 -
I'm logging in. I've already told myself to eat small portions and no seconds. Plus I'm participating in my 1st turkey trot (5k run/walk) this year so I'm hoping that'll help keep my weight in check.0
-
DEFINITELY going to log, otherwise I'll take too much advantage of knowing I'm not accountable for that day.0
-
I probably won't log dinner as I will be home late and as somebody else said it is hard to log when you don't know what is in the food but I do plan on working out a couple hours before going to my sister in laws house.0
-
Most definitely logging everything and exercising that morning and making sure I at least don't go over my basal metabolic rate. Even I know that if I stuck with my everyday 1300 I'd go over so I'm trying to be more realistic.0
-
I'm not logging or even thinking about it, lol! I'm just going to enjoy myself and get back on track the next day.0
-
I will not log in. But, I will control what I eat. Just one extra piece of sweet potatoe pie. Back in the gym EARLY the next morning!!0
-
I will most definitely log it all. I will also make smart choices and measure everything. I will NOT deny myself anything I want to eat though. Just need to be able to see how I did after the fact.0
-
I will be...even if I'm over for the day. I still want to know how bad it is : )0
-
I'm going to log just to see what I ate, but I already know I'm going to go way over. My Mac & Cheese alone is 800 calories a serving, and I'm sure I'm going to have 2 servings. But I do plan on working at for 2 hours in the morning, so I'm hoping this will offset some of the food.0
