1,102- loved every single calorie and now am back on track.0
-
Went over by about 500 >_<0
-
A bunch - but had a weird scale victory - no gain. I love these mornings lol.0
-
Somehow I came in under calories for Christmas Eve, mostly because I avoided alcohol and cookies. Christmas day? I was doing fine until extreme tiredness led me to a slight cookie binge. I had to estimate that I was over by about 600 for the day.0
-
Over by 2900 and some change- which was perfect- I was aiming for 4K0
-
Since all I did was eat and drink the past couple of days I didn't even log in. Because I knew I was over my calorie goal.0
-
Was about 300 over maintenance, which I don't think is a big deal.0
-
I don't know, I didn't bother to log anything except quick added calories based on my guesses (I've been logging food for over a year, so I have a pretty good idea of the caloric content of many foods). I probably went over by around 150-300.0
-
I stayed under my calorie goal. It's safe to assume that I'm unable to pig out like I use to.0

LOL! That is SOOO true.0 -
I logged the meals but not the cookies and little pieces of fudge here and there. Today starts again! Total days I didn't care turned out to be about 3 - so not too bad.0

-230 on 24th
+400 on 25th
But I was already in a deficit from Mon/Tue, so I am in a slight deficit for the week still.
I'm trying to break free from the mindset that I used to have relating to Christmas and any other special occasion for that matter. The holiday, for me, is about going to church and celebrating the religious meaning for me...plus enjoying the more cultural aspects like decorating the house, sharing a meal with family and friends, taking a break from a busy schedule, enjoying a few foods that are tasty but not part of my normal routine like A PIECE of my aunts' pecan pie and fudge or A GLASS of dessert wine, exchanging gifts, holiday music, etc.
I don't try to stay in a deficit, or get too picky about meeting all my nutrition goals (I was VERY carb heavy yesterday since I don't eat the meat), but busting loose and using this as an opportunity for unrestrained gluttony is not appealing to me either.
I'm eating the weight conscious and nutritious way that Im eating because this is really how I want to eat and to live. Healthy food tastes good, is good for me, and moderate eating makes me feel better physically. I like exercise and went for 1-2 mile walks each day (though I did break from the gym). Today I'm eating only the healthy leftovers that I prepared (and some of my usual foods) and am heading out for a long hike in the woods to test out my new camera lens soon. I'm trying to break free of that person who was a sedentary binge eater and who had a dysfunctional relationship with food, no self control.
It is hard because everyone else around me thinks that is weird and I must be suffering terribly and exercising great willpower. But the thing is, I'm not! My perception of what is good has changed, and that is a major victory!0 -
800-1000. Yesterday was brought to us by the letter 'B'. 'B' is for bacon, butter and blubber0

Thank you! I have felt a bit alone, especially among extended family that hasn't been around daily to witness the transformation. Ate breakfast with them on Christmas Day. They are still trying to make sense of me ha ha. These are very traditional, rural southerners (USA) who cook with lots of pork fat. And me, the vegetarian, bringing a fruit tray to share. I ate a lot of that fruit ha ha.0
