    My husband and I really don't celebrate and we're on such different paths in our weight loss efforts that we end up cooking separate meals for ourselves.

    I didn't eat a whole lot today because I was studying for a final, so I got to eat a little "richer" than usual. I had a hamburger, a baked potato and a big salad of baby lettuce with raw mushrooms. Couldn't have been more satisfied. :)

    Dinner at my in-laws house. I had reasonable portions of chicken and mixed vegetables, a less reasonable portion of macaroni and cheese, two rolls, a big piece of carrot cake and a scoop of this strawberry cream cheese cool whip thing. And two peanut butter Reese's eggs (the little ones.) And 5 peanut butter m&ms.

    I've been doing really well these last few weeks- I went over my goal today by 500, but I'm still a bit under for the week. And I've got a big bike ride planned for tomorrow. So, no harm done. Normally I would have eaten a LOT of candy so I feel pretty good about that part, at least.

    Honey Baked ham, fresh green beans, home made escalloped potatoes, and a half bottle of wine. Relatively small portions of the ham helped, but I was still way over my sodium for the day. Other than that, I stayed within my daily goal. Didn't steal any of the kids candy.

    DH and I went to Easter Buffet at a local restaurant - pork tenderloin, beef brisket, ribs (1), roast turkey, grilled portobella mushroom, broccoli, asparagus, potatoes au gratin, baked potato salad, green salad w/ ranch dressing, strawberry cake w/ cream cheese icing, german chocolate cake w/ pecan/coconut icing. Eat a very good, filling meal at noon and have no regrets.

    Perogies, ham, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and a piece of chocolate cake cuz it's also my hubby's birthday.......and later this evening a couple mini Cadbury creme eggs

    Amazingly all within my calorie allowance, though I was prepared to go a bit over if the cake didn't fit the #'s. Portion control is awesome. Normally about this time after a holiday meal I'd be moaning on the couch about how full I am. Tonight, I'm a bit full, but not painfully so like in the past.

    Minus the wine that sounds mighty tasty!

    I didn't log today as I am actually taking a diet/exercise break week (I know this sounds like a slippery slope, but I do it about 3 times a year :) ) However, I am sure I went over by waaaaay more than everyone int his thread haha. I'm not even going to rationalize it or feel bad. I am pretty stuffed but I'm going to enjoy by break and maybe be a bit more tame the rest of the week, although will probably still go over.

    Today I had a chicken dinner and last night, I had a turkey dinner. I also had a ton of chocolate today.

    baked ham, scalloped potatoes, cauliflower, barbecue ribs, fruit salad with homemade cinnamon tortilla chips. Not too bad. small portions of everything except maybe too much ham, but it was so good! Passed on the chocolate turtle cheesecake and no Easter candy!!!
    Went out and flew kites and went for a walk with the grand kids, managed to stay under daily calories with the help of the exercise calories

    I'm right there with you. Good thing Easter is only once a year. Tomorrow will be a better day. Don't beat yourself up. We're entitled to screw up once in awhile. We're only human :)
