Curious on what YOUR doing?

I plan on logging my meals. Even if I end up being over, I figure I can do my best to adjust my other meals during the day. Plus, just because you skip logging the food, doesn't mean that the calories aren't there!:-P I probably will go over my calories by 500, unless I plan on eating just ONE meal on Christmas. I think my mom's Thanksgiving dinner was 1200 alone. One day of slip ups isn't going to derail everything, especially since I've been eating well up to this point. Since we'll be visiting my fiance's parents, we probably won't have the opportunity to exercise. However, if we have if we have a mild day, we might go for a walk or we might even go to the mall if the crowds aren't too bad.

I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to handle this weekend. Might not even deside until it happens. So I'd like to see what everyone else is doing.....Choose as many as apply

1. Logging All your Christmas meals

2. Not logging at all

3. Staying UNDER your calories

4. Going OVER your calories LESS than 500

5. Going OVER your calories MORE than 500

6. YES to exercise

7. NO to exercise

I plan to log everything - if I am not accountable, I will fall off the wagon too easily.

Also plan to use moderation - I do not want to feel deprived, so if there is a food I really love and rarely have, I will have a couple of bites. Someone once said that is all you need of a food in order to feel satisified.

Since I am not really exercising much at this point due to my size and inability to move, I will probably just try to move around a bit more but not exercise per se.

I leave for my Mom's house after work today and return Friday, just in time to have a big meal at my in-laws Saturday afternoon. I plan to spend quite a bit of time on MFP to keep me motivated and focused. :bigsmile:

1. Logging All your Christmas meals - YES

2. Not logging at all - NO WHY WOULD I "START" OVER

3. Staying UNDER your calories - STAYING WITH MY CALORIES

4. Going OVER your calories LESS than 500 - NOT IF I CAN HELP IT - GET IN SOME EXERCISE TO BALANCE OUT CALORIES EATEN

5. Going OVER your calories MORE than 500 - NO WHY ARE CHRISTMAS EVE OR CHRISTMAS MEALS ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER DAY....PORTIONS PORTIONS PORTIONS...

6. YES to exercise - ABSOLUTELY...IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY - I EXERCISE ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS WHEN I CAN SO WHY WOULDNT I THIS WEEKEND...

7. NO to exercise - NO - I'M GOING TO EXERCISE...

Logging everything, exercising as much as possible, and giving myself a break (over on sugar? Really? At Christmas? Who'd have thought?)

I changed my goals to maintenance. I'm visiting family for a month, so I don't have the same control over what I'm eating as I do when I'm home and making all my own meals. My goal is to always stay under the maintenance cals (which is almost 700 more than I have when I'm trying to lose, so that really shouldn't be too hard!!) and continue to log everything, even if I have to do it at the end of the day when I get home. I'm definitely logging on Christmas Eve and Christmas- I've actually already entered in exactly what I plan to eat! But I have no problem changing it up if I want to! No guilt. It is the holidays, a time to celebrate, and I get to spend time with family and friends that I never get to see (since I live on the other side of the country) so I'm just going to enjoy myself. I am going to try and get some exercise in if I can, but I'm not going to stress about it if I can't. And I have a plan all ready for when I get back home to up my exercise and really focus on getting in shape so I'm looking forward to that too!

I don't log. I eat pretty clean and I work out hard...when I feel like I deserve a treat, I have one. I logged everything in the beginning but once I was able to eyeball the true portion size, it became second nature to pick the correct portion.

I'm sorry but the grammar Nazi in me is screaming in agony... The title of your post should be "Curious about what you're doing" not "your"

Breathes a sigh of relief.

first thing i noticed! hehe.

i'm definitely going to exercise! i'm definitely going to log my meals, not sure how the eating part will go but if i go over i'll feel bad about it for about 2 seconds then i'll get over it lol

Im going to try , Im driving 12 hrs in the morning and going away for a week with a 12hr drive on the return.

Im not going to have access to a computer regulary and no access to a gym either.

So exercise is going to be running and walks , definatley going to control the diet , Ive got to or this will get ugly.

Most importantly Im not goin to stress and I am going to have fun.

Merry Christmas everyone.
