ate a big Thanksgiving meal and were still under their calorie goals yesterday?

I know it can be done because I did it. I just want to see if anyone else did! LOL

    I didn't track my calories yesterday. I'm sure I went over, but it was my off day. You need to let loose every once in awhile. but I really stepped up the exercise this morning.

    LOL

    See, I knew there was a benefit to all that heavy weight training for years. You know, besides a decrease in osteoporosis risk, better metabolism, more energy, and the strength to pick up my dryer to rescue kittens from behind it. I get to eat pie at Thanksgiving! :laugh:

    I was under my calorie goal however I stepped on my scale this morning and gained 1.5 lbs. Must have been those sweet potatoes weighing me down and all the water I drank. Definitely going to have to work harder to get that off. I was doing so well.

    I went over. I knew I would, and I was okay with that! I did hit my goal, so I am proud :-) My plan was to enjoy my day WITHOUT the stress of what I was and wasn't eating, and to not stuff myself. I may have gone over my calories but I stayed under yours! And I ate pie, and I didn't feel like hell afterward :bigsmile:

    I had everything I wanted and was WAY under 1200 for the day. Ended up having to have a late night snack in order to meet the 1200 calorie mark.

    I wasn't WAY under 1200 toward the end of the day, but I was enough under 1200 that I had to have a turkey wrap and a small snack. Skipping the pie at the big meal was TOTALLY worth it.

    I burned over 1,300 calories yesterday morning from my workout. So, I was under my calorie goal. The scale is higher this morning. It has to be sodium of course. Those yams, stuffing, turkey, oh my....

    I burned 750 this morning, so the scale will act right soon enough.

    I really had no way to even begin to estimate what I ate yesterday as I was at someone else's house and they had things prepared in ways completely unfamiliar to me. I ate little else during the day and exercised more. I didn't eat so much that I ever felt uncomfortably full or even really full. I could have eaten a ton more, but didn't.

    I just logged the whole meal at 800 calories and worked out enough so that I had enough extra calories to make it come under my goal. Don't know if that was really accurate, but heck, you have to live your life and not always be quite so structured. I have been really good for 5 months. This was the first day in the 3 months since I joined here that I didn't track and log everything.

    I don't think my goals will suffer :smile:

    I logged as best as I could since we ate at the in-laws. I also exercised for 75 minutes before we went. I believe I was just under on my calories but without knowing exactly how something was made I could be off. I enjoyed every minute of the day! To me that is a successful Thanksgiving.

    I over estimated the amount I ate just in case.... but I did come in under the goal for the day. I enjoyed my dinner, with a glass of wine, and the cream pie later! A bit bloated today but water will flush that out.
