    So I ended up having a large meal for brunch, about 1000 calories, a smaller evening meal of about 400 calories and a slice of pie which brought me to about 61 calories above my goal. Still way under maintenance!

    I didn't have an "Easter lunch" or "Easter dinner" or meal of any kind but I did allow this to be my cheat day sort of. I still logged all of my food though because I feel it's important if you want to stay within your weekly calorie goals. I also went for two walks one 35 min and one 22 min. I think it's fine to cheat on holidays if you wish. Right now I'm nearing a very important goal/milestone so I only slightly "cheated" because I'm really focused atm. But hey! Whatever makes yo happy! If you can't be happy and fit at the same time I don't see much point.

    I had a great week dieting then ate horribly all weekend. Today, brunch- french toast, sugar, with bacon. Dinner was fast food, fried shrimp with mashed potatoes. Fried blueberry and cream cheese danish. My original plan was to ignore Easter but I couldn't make it happen.

    Here's an estimate of what I ate in a like... 1-2hr window (not weighed, some foods are added for fat/butter estimates)

    And still within my deficit, of course no way of knowing 100% but it's unlikely I ate all the way to maintenance.

    I think it's all about a healthy mindset. If every once in awhile you go a bit over your calories, it's no big deal... assuming that many days you are also under, and it balances out! But I wouldn't see any holiday as an excuse to completely binge eat. (And obviously that's not what you're talking about). I don't think that's a healthy mentality. It's all about balance, moderation, and making changes that you can stick with in the long term, which means some days will be over and some will be under

    I don't celebrate easter but I got myself a big old cheese burger and fries and a couple whiskey's for fun. Above my deficit for the day but still at my weekly goal.

    I had a light breakfast today and a small salad for lunch. I had a big slice of prime rib for dinner with mashed potatoes and veggies, but passed on the rolls. Had a small piece of cake and coffee for dessert. All in all, I'm over by about 100 calories. Still under for the week though, so it's no big deal.

    I worked out extra today to make up for any indulgences (chocolate, all the chocolate). As opposed to my usual 30 minutes, I did 90 minutes. Still in deficit, no harm done! Happy Easter!

    I have very little sense of taste due to a recent cold so I ate quite responsibly this holiday! But nomally I will cheat on holidays. I try to stick with the stuff that is really worth it to me and pass on the stuff that I'm not crazy about.

    Anyone else retaining water today? My sodium was off the chart yesterday and the scale this morning was a disaster. No regrets, but man ham is a killer.

    I'm two pounds over where I was yesterday morning (but 2 pounds less than before bed last night, so I'm partially flushed!)

    Lots of tea and water today! AND MORE HARDBOILED EGGS nomnomnom.
