    My personal goal was 5000 kcals, while managing to keep my sodium to potassium ratio at 1:4.

    I managed 5600, and 1:3, so close enough.

    Stuck to the diet! I believe. It's so easy to fast if you stay distracted. Remember, food is only material. We only eat to survive because it was ingrained in our DNA to reproduce. And with that said, I only had about 1,400 calories on Christmas.

    No logging for me. Back on track for today. It's once a year. Call it combined cheat days. LOL

    2144 calories give or take. My logging was pretty sloppy. Less than I expected, to be honest. Gained 2.5 kilos (but I'm retaining water so I would have gained anyway). This holiday is not as high as previous holidays for some reason, and I may not gain as much weight as I was planning to gain.

    I would estimate my intake to be 3,500-4000 calories. Burnt 450 calories from a one hour home workout early in the morning and we also went out for a one hour walk in the afternoon for fresh air. It was all worth it but definitely too high in sodium, my mouth feels so salty today.

    Don't know ... don't care!

    And actually, today (Boxing Day) was a higher calorie day than Christmas because we wanted to finish off a few things before hauling everything home. :)

    Didn't worry about anything all weekend. Enjoyed myself and had a great time with my family. Today is Monday - made it back to the gym this morning. Back to the normal grind. I did indeed gain some weight, but have no fears or doubts that it will be gone soon enough!

    My problem today is getting my body back into the "I don't eat 5k calories every day" mentality. My brain keeps telling me to go back to bed if I'm not going to eat.

    Way way more but today I am staying on track. I ate enough cookies yesterday and food, to last me a week. However I had fun, life is short and today is new.

    I started Christmas Eve with a double spin class and held off with a protein bar and yogurt until 5 pm.

    Then, dinner. I stopped counting calories when I hit 3500. I didn't bother logging yesterday's dinner and will do another obscene calories add to complete the day. Zero exercise - not even a walk.

    Back to normal today. Double spin, 1250 net goal. Will not go near a scale until I know the water weight is gone.

    Have no idea. I just put in maintenance calories for the day, and will do the same for today (Boxing day). Will get back at it tomorrow. Definitely less than a normal Christmas, no cookies and less alcohol, but still had Christmas pudding and sauce. And sauce. God I love that sauce. Basically brown sugar and cream.

    Did walk the dogs for 45 mins but otherwise was a log in front of the TV.

    My max is 1850, but i have been thinking for awhile that i should start eating a bigger breakfast. Sometimes my mornings are hard to get through because i eat a small breakfast and then end up pretty hungry again once i get to work.

    If MFP tells you to eat 1850 that's a GOAL. You really need to fuel your body. I'm 51, menopausal, and I eat more than you. Just sayin.

    I didn't log anything on Christmas, but I did go to the gym and 2 miles on the treadmill. Figured that would help. ;)
