    No...I haven't logged. What got me was a few sausage balls and a yummy cupcake. Although, I don't think I'm eating dinner. :)

    Haven't logged today or yesterday. Yesterday wasn't that bad, but today its been crackers and spread, bree baked in a pastry, pigs in a blanket, eggs benedict, etc. Tomorrow is definitely a gym day.

    I haven't logged. Not because I don't want to know how many calories I'm consuming, just because I don't feel like it. I haven't been too bad today though. Bacon, eggs and two pancakes for breakfast. A turkey salad and an Izze for lunch. We're having roast beef, potatoes and green beans for dinner. No special dessert, just cookies and candies I made earlier in the week.

    I logged just so I would know how far over I was... I did not even attempt to stay under my goal....:drinker:

    Heck yeah I logged it all in! and when I realized I only had 11 cals left for the day- I decided to do a work out.

    For me, it seems like NOT logging in on BAD days is turning a blind eye to the problem...like it's not good so I'll just ignore it. Im just not that kind of a person- I want to fix this issue and I try to learn from it so I won't make the same mistakes AGAIN.

    But whatever works for you.

    I log EVEN IF I ATE A LOT. Why would you STOP logging? I don't get it.

    Anyway - yesterday (Christmas Eve) was my cheat day, and today I ate really healthy and stayed under my calories! I feel good about myself :)

    I have logged MOST of what I had today, I think I missed a crescent roll. I am over, but nowhere near as bad as I thought I would be today. I have to log it though, as I don't want to get out of the habit.

    I logged in my food, because I knew if I allowed myself to skip one day, I'd think it would be ok again, which it isn't. I didn't want to at first because most of the stuff I ate I didn't know the calories for or how to look them up, I didn't even kow the names of some of the stuff I ate. I just picked the closest thing that i thought had the right calories.

    nope, most everything i ate was home made and God knows what was in it LOL. I wasn't planning on logging today anyway.. but I did good. I made sure not to stuff myself.. only eat till you aren't hungry! I did break my "1 soda a day" rule today tho, but i've been doing awesome with it for the past few months, even going some days without 1 at all.

    I absolutely, positively logged everything! I joined this site to keep me accountable, and how am i doing that successfully if i skip logging foods cause i shouldn't have eaten them or they didn't fit in my calorie count? it helps me keep on track cause then i have to ask myself, "do i really want to put this in my body? how will this make me feel?" The truth is, i tend to take better care of my car than i do my own body, when the fact is i can replace a car, my body is irreplacable. i had to come to this conclusion to find my turning point to a better way of eating. I've allowed myself to indulge before and hate the way i feel afterwards. i'd rather sacrifice eating indulgent foods and feel better afterwards! Ok, off the soapbox LOL...

    :happy:

    Nope! I didnt cook, my dad and mom did so I have NO idea what was in everything. I have eaten what I want and as much as I want all day, but as soon as 8:00pm hits, it's back on the wagon! My stomach is not used to this much food anymore. My stomach as been upset since I ate. Blah.

    Yep, I did. And I still have like 400 left. But that's only because I'm sick today and haven't ate much at all. Some crackers, soup... If I'm feeling better, tomorrow will be the day I eat a lot because it's family dinner time. Good luck everyone!

    Yep. I'm going to log mine later on today. I know I'm going to be over, but it is a special day and I worked my butt off at the gym yesterday.

    I logged everything the best I could. I had about 700 calories for Christmas dinner. What really got me today was brownies. I only had about 200 calories left after lunch so I cleaned for an hour and a half to earn some more. I'm very proud of myself.

    Well, i logged today but i didn't yesterday because my parents in law invited me to a traditional Christmas eve dinner, which i had no idea how many calories was in it...and i didn't wanna ask them what they put in it and how much of each ingredient they used exactly. I usually do that, but i didn't this time since it was a traditional Christmas eve dinner and i didn't wanna pester them with questions like i usually do. lol So, i was like screw it...i'm just not gonna log for today. And, plus, they made me eat their homemade frosted sugar cookies! lol

    My thinking is along the same lines, I'm not sure I understand the 'not logging in' theory myself. Because isn't this why we're all here to learn how to deal with various days we might eat different types of foods than a typical day and how to handle those days? I find if I'm aware of what I'm putting in my mouth and log it it accordingly it can greatly effect the next special Holiday, Bday etc.. But for me to blindly eat less healthy food and not focus on a plan for the day or several days in a row as some have shared well I think that'd make me a bit nervous if I didn't hold myself accountable. Nothing wrong if I eat treats on occasion I just prefer to eat them consciencely and be aware of my choices. Seems to work better for me that way so it doesn't turn out to be a free for all.

    Some can handle it and some can't and I think those that can't find out only after the fact:noway:

    But as one of the quoted posters above shared.. "whatever works for you":flowerforyou: Also by her logging it in she realized she had 11 cals left and could get a workout in and knew how much she'd need to burn to continue eating!:wink::laugh: :drinker:

    I'm really proud of you too Hon! I'm proud of all of you that treated this like a normal food day as in a day you logged but enjoyed a variety of foods that you might not have everyday. In the past, I hear ya I too would rather not remember what all I had eaten during a binge, Holiday, etc.:blushing:

    But it's so very different for me now, I want to be aware of my choices and so I most definitely want to log them so I can see how much I've eaten or preferably calculate them before hand so I don't have to stop eating at Breakfast:blushing: :laugh:

    It's interesting how everyone has a different mind set on this isn't it?:flowerforyou: But as long as we each find a healthy way to get back on track with our goals that's what matters most!:wink::drinker:

    I love how everyones opinion is different on logging. Thats what makes this community so awesome. I considered today my free day thats why i'm not beating myself up over the cheesecake! It was worth every bite!

    Yes I did....
    it totalled about1600 calories which is way over my 1200 limit but I still think I did pretty good....its still less than what my body needs daily so thats a plus....

    I decided to log in so i can actually see the numbers....because today was lunch at home and tomorrow is the big family luncheon which will have more tempting goodies....and I think I handled today pretty well so hopefully I can do better tomorrow

    If only I could get in the mood to do a workout tonight I would feel soooo much better :blushing:

    Yes, I did and I was under just because I only had two meals (breakfast- not too bad-, and Chrismas lunch/dinner). Everything was home made so I either entered the ingredients or I over estimated the amounts. I ate small portions, although I would have gone for seconds.

    I had a light workout, but my stomach does not feel happy with the extra food. Only one home made cookie as a treat. I need to drink lots of water.

    Yep, I closed, it but I shouldn't have. I'm sure I will have a few goodies later tonight still. However, right now I am under. However, it was the bacon that did me in! No wonder I only buy turkey bacon usually, and even then it's not often. However, I had a coupon for free bacon so we had it for breakfast. That stuff is full of fat and calories! wow!

    I didn't log today, though based on my evening weight (yes, I weigh twice a day) I did end up losing today, because I've only gained 1.5lbs over this morning's weight and I usually lose 2-3lbs overnight. So I'm pleased.

    I went over by 800, my sodium, I love ham, killed me.....I almost didn't log b/c of the sodium and well the chocolate chip pie. But Im' committed and heck it is only one day so it won't kill me and honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be when I started logging it all in.

    Yes I did. I didn't do too bad. Stayed away from breads, but it was the pigs in a blanket and chessy potato casserole that put me over. Tomorrow is another day.
