Has anyone passed their TDEE or goals because of family events and Easter dinners? I know I sure have. I guess going 200-400 calories over for 2 or 3 days won't do too, too much damage as long as you get back on track... right?

    Have done great so far but I have to just say no to it all. I cannot take the kiss of death bite of chocolate or Ill be craving it. I'm snacking on fresh fruits and healthy snacks until Easter is over with. We limited the kids candy this year so there won't be much temptation in the house either.

    On Easter lets see. Wake up and eat about 2000 calories worth of Easter Candy. Walk 2 hours to the gym. I'll do some Deadlifts, Front Squats, and Leg Press. I'll completely go crazy with 1RM sets. Walk 2 hours home. Then eat 1/2 to 3/4 of a tray of lasagna. Then sleep for 14 so hours.

    Nope...I'm good. Sunday the green bean casserole will probably find it's way into me though.

    Extra exercising this week and today so I'm ahead of the game. Planning on working out tomorrow also. I've been allowing myself "Easter Treats" each day but still staying in my macros. Peeps are the best!

    I had 4 mini 3 muskateer marshmallow things today. Trying to stop thinking about it. Under calories though. I'll be good till Sunday. Then I am scared.

    Had a few hot cross buns over the last few weeks, orange peel and cinnamon ones. And sadly, had a few major splurges on various kinds of mini eggs last month, but have recovered. I will be aiming to workout over the weekend, and just fit in a few bits and pieces daily over the coming weeks. Meals are not an issue as I am spending Easter alone.

    I'm not doing so well. I hit a rabbit with my car Friday. The kids are telling me I killed the Easter bunny.

    Oh you mean with MFP, not doing so well there this week either. Its hit and miss. I'll get it together soon, I guess.

    Sorry, it's not Easter. It's still Lent. Not only that, it's a fast day.

    No way that I'm counting calories for easter dinner. I'll just *try* to use moderation lol.... The kiddos in my life are getting mainly fruit in their baskets :p

    I'm not doing too badly myself, although that's probably because I gave up burgers for lent (my favorite thing ever lol). I seriously cannot wait until Sunday when I can go treat myself and order one object of my affection lol.

    So far so moderately good. The hubs wanted ribs tonight so, I indulged a bit but only went over by 200 calories. This is super good for me who is just getting on the bandwagon again. I'm not even counting on Sunday. I'll be on my calorie goal tomorrow and may even a lot the calories for a Cadbury Caramel egg. :)

    I'm not worried about the willpower aspect of it. What I am worried about is a brunch and two dinners where I can't measure and weigh my food. I measure or weigh everything I eat and use measuring cups and a scale daily. I can probably try to eye ball some of it. I may just bring my scale in my purse and a half cup measuring cup to the events at my side of the families. They already know I'm crazy haha

    I was making great progress, and then had a stressful week (or two) and I've gained back half of what I lost, maybe more.

    Today's a new day, right? Many of you out there go up and down before you went down for good?

    Any advice, empathy, pep talks, "I been there" would be appreciated.

    I'm doing good, I just had 1 serving of everything and stayed under my goal for the day. I try not to think of holidays as a day to eat all I want, it is just another day. It isn't the last time I'll ever see sweet potato pie or a spiral ham.

    Already figured all my calories and portion sized everything out in advance so I would not go over on calories. So far, so good. It's all about the planning!

    I dont like candy, so I am good there. I plan on eating ham, fried chicken, mac and cheese, candied yams, mini hamburgers, hotdogs wrapped in bacon, string beans with smoked turkey, and kale with smoked pork. Also all the yeast rolls. Also all the wine. No regrets. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    When my son was little my ex ran over a bunny on the way home from Easter dinner. Seriously - on Easter! Poor bunny!

    EPIC my diet bomb was EPIC. I'll get back to it and be OK

    . Bunnies are suicidal. I'd tell the kids it was an evil impostor bunny. Everyone knows real Easter bunnies are pastel colored, carrying a basket and walk up right. Hopefully, your kids will buy it. If not feel free to make up something else!
