Desert- 1 slice of chocolate cake, 1 very small slice of lemon cake, 1 sugar cookie w/ icing (looks like a duck haha), and 1 slice of apple tart!!

    I am not even keeping track today LOL. I do this 4 days a year. Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I don't see the point in keeping track on days like these.. I will say I had NO chocolate :)

    If the cookie was broken, it doesn't count.

    My estimate would be about 1500 or so. That made me want a ducky cookie ;) and lemon pie is my favorite thing ever.

    my total for today is trying to creep up to 2000 calories and I'm not pleased with this at all. I upped my allowed intake ( I manage my own) I normally have it set at 1200 but I allowed for the holiday and put it at 1800 for today and tomorrow only, then back down to 1200. I have some I need to burn off but I think its possible.

    This is true. I read it on the internet.

    I've just gone over on mine by eating my first chocolate of the day.

    Considering going for a short walk to ease it off - I did 5 miles yesterday so I am not stressing.

    Yeah, I'd rough guess about 1000 cals, and not stress out too much about it!

    My guess for myself is about 1900. Its the first time in 3 months I've gone over 1200. Not so sure it was worth it but I won't worry about it.

    Spinache Quiche 600 ( 2 slices)
    Sausage Gravy 353 1/2 biscuit for the gravy 100
    Cheesy Hashbrowns 170
    Fruit Pizza 400
    Cinnamon Apples 130

    A few of these seem kind of high, but I got them right off the receipe.

    1500 cal for me for lunch/dessert. But I went to the gym for an hour this morning so I'm 43 cal under my daily total. No proper dinner for me tonight....just a LOT of water to get rid of all the sodium I took in!

    I had about the same thing and without dessert I'm at 567. I'd have to quess all those sweets are pretty high.

    It's a holiday, this doesn't happen every day. Enjoy!

    I stuffed myself today, logged it in and only went over 400 calories, so, I'm about to walk those puppies off.

    Today will be the first time since January I am not logging my food. I do have to say, though, I was very careful with portion sizes, I did not over eat and I did get in a good walk. I just ate food that for the past four months I have been avoiding.

    Treat yourself to a "free" day today.

    I was over by 800 cals today so worked out, earned 980 calories, but there will be more celebrations tomorrow so will ensure I workout in the morning, the rest of the week I will be good ;-) Dont worry, enjoy yourself.
