How are you doing with Christmas eating so far?

Pretty good. I ate salad and meat for dinner, christmas bread for lunch and savory pie for breakfast. Tomorrow is when the real monster comes.

Bit too many cookies last night but I did well on the rest so only ended up 600 over maintenance or something (but I had a good workout too). Today I'm starving though so I'm probably looking at 1000-1200 extra calories, but there's a lot of guesswork. Not even worried about it, I'll stop eating when I'm full (if that ever happens because it's day 3 of TOM and that one is always bad) and unless some unplanned dessert shows up with our guest, I'm not interested in what we're having.

Still way better than last year!

It's 19:00 here (England) I am over but by how much I won't know until tomorrow. I have written everything down and I will log tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow I am at my Aunts for lunch and the in laws for dinner. So it will be the same.

I will worry about making a mend on Sunday

Christmas Eve is over, Christmas Day is in full swing (on the US East Coast). How are YOU doing with your food and exercise today, compared to what you'd planned on? If you're reading this after everything's over - how DID you do?

I was running late, but just got a call from my hostess for today and she's also running late and asked me to come over 30 minutes later than we'd planned. So I'm going to use the extra time to go for a walk. Because goals.

You must be a mind reader because I was about to create a thread, like this.

@Pinupdollrawr I'm sorry you're having a tough time and that you have to work today. I'm sure your patients appreciate you being there.

I couldn't have said it better!

I haven't been well, so I've been under eating; mainly because I haven't been well enough, to go grocery shopping and/or cook; so I was running low on food. However my Sister & I made a feast anyway because my apartment complex's security company awarded me a Christmas dinner, after I was nominated by both my apartment complex's staff & residents, for being the most involved; within my community. Plus my Mother & Sister had desserts. So I ate a pumpkin pie slice, last night. An apple pie slice, this morning & the rest, just now but I'll be within my calories, since I had calories left over; from previous days & most of all because I ate part of the feast, instead of other meals. So no I won't have anymore pumpkin and/or apple pie but I did save 2 croissants, for later; even though I already had 2. Hopefully I'll be able to go grocery shopping & cook tomorrow.

Eatting everything and anything I like.. 1st time i been on the beer for months. Giving my self this treat as few days not going to hurt.. Then back to normal in a few days. So enjoy the Christmas fun and have a great day X

That's my thinking, too. Doing whatever I want for Christmas, and I'll get back on track after. I am still doing my workouts, though.

Probably like 200-400 over maintenance yesterday and today (I'm just guessing here, lets be real lol), but the food here is pretty healthy, and I'm not a fan of these particular desserts, so no issues really

I'm good. I'm on maintenance. Last time I did this, @ Thanksgiving, I was on a road trip & I posted 1/10 of a pound gain week over week. Lots of sitting, even though we hiked each morning. This time I've lost half a pound week over week. I know the math so it doesn't stress me out. I made a decadent Christmas breakfast of croissant bread pudding with berries and cream cheese. It was delicious. That is a rare treat since I generally work 7 mornings a week. We're at my in laws now & I'm heading out for a walk. I need to get out of the house & get my mind on gratitude & goals for the new year. Too much sitting around with them can send me into a tailspin. My MIL has already said a few catty jabby things and my BIL seems like he could blow a fuse. Need more sports on teevee, LOL. I'll eat a big rich roast beast dinner & move right on.... It's just one day. Holiday happiness to all. This holiday feels hard to me, but I have a lot to think about. Laying the groundwork for happier holidays and perhaps a fresh start after this marriage winds down...

Christmas dinner hasn't started for me yet... But we're having ham, mashed potatoes, french bread, green beans, mac n cheese, and tons of different pies. Definitely going over my calories today and I'm totally okay with it. I'll resume healthy eating tomorrow

Yesterday was okay. Today I went waaaaaaay over my limit. Tomorrow will be okay again.

I'm enjoying all the foods within my maintenance calories (breakfast and dinner), then going to breakfast with my coworkers tomorrow morning. Monday morning it's back on track.

Haven't had dinner quite yet but I still have over 1200 calories available. Brought my scale with me and my awesome in-laws even kept aside some potatoes for me with no butter or milk

I guesstimated I had around 2550 calories on Christmas day. I'm happy with that. Just 2-300 over my tdee. I compromised well. I really wanted the annual choc mousse so I had some and only had the 1 lamb chop rather than the 2 I'd normally eat. I was sensible, didn't overeat. I added on an extra 15 min to my run. I didn't go overboard with the exercise which I'm happy with. We also swam a lot and was active.

My goal over the past couple of weeks has been to maintain and I think I've done that. Well actually it's hard to tell until after my period ends/water weight. I'm on day 3, I may have lost some weight.

I'm excited to be back in defecit now to lose my last 4 kg although judging by comments I'm hearing lately I'm looking like I'm at goal now.

I plan to put on 5 pounds of temporary salt and carb related weight.

It will hang around for a week.

No real permanent weight gain as in fat added.

Hmmm not super good
