I was craving Cornbread and so today I made a box of jiffy cornbread with just a little butter brushed on top and had myself 2 big slices.... I felt bad about it but i managed to stay within my calories and had it with A big green spinach (Meatless salad) and a grilled baked potato with shredded cheese! was a yummy meal!! what was something yummy that you had today but had self control with!?

    I was over my daily limit probably by 2pm today. I had already given myself permission coming into today to let it go. I'm going to top it off with a little ice cream later tonight then back on track starting tomorrow.

    I ended up within mine but we didn't go anywhere and I immediately put away candy once the kids woke up and saw what they had. Out of sight out of mind for me. Saving my dark chocolate bunny for my Saturday cheats.

    I didn't. 400+ extra calories. And the YMCA is closed, so no swimming for me today also. Tomorrow I will be back in the swing of things. I needed a break anyway..

    How is sticking to your calorie goal cheating?

    We don't do anything exciting for Easter, so, yes. (I don't particularly like Easter egg chocolate so I gave my one and only Easter egg away...)

    1000 over... and that's with an hour walk in the afternoon. (So 500 over maintenance)

    But it was also my brother's birthday. Lots of yummy food. I don't regret a single bite!

    Certainly did, just set my calories to 10k for the day :)
    Only joking, I actually was good.
    I asked my Wife yesterday, are you cutting this year?, she said 'I've only put 6lb on since last year , and I can lose that in a week, as she shoved another Easter egg in her face!

    I didn't, I felt really sick in the evening and this morning, gained 1 lb since yesterday, but I'm totally okay with this, no regrets.

    My time with family is limited to holidays mostly so I enjoyed all the foods and made all the memories. I did not spend an ounce of energy stressing about calories. No idea how much I ate.

    Overall, holidays are a blip on the radar for my diet/lifestyle goals. My regular habits are what will sustain my success.

    Today - back on my A-game. Already got 30 minutes of exercise in by 7am. Light breakfast then off to work.

    Glad you stayed within your calories - that sounds like the approach that works for you, so more power to you for sticking to your goal!

    I definitely feel proud that I was able to stick to the calorie goal! I even worked a nice piece of milk chocolate into the mix without going over. That's will power for me! :smiley:

    Managed to stay at my normal calorie intake (last year - not so much)
    I avoided most of the sweets and the food with mayo that my family likes (don't like the stuff anyway), then did a bit more exercise in the afternoon than I though I would... because my family merged breakfast and lunch into one meal (which ended up being mostly protein and fat for me - eggs, ham, cheese - so I felt kinda stuffed) I ended up having some nuts and chocolate milk around 9pm to not end the day with net 700 calories - was a great opportunity to get the food that I wanted that wouldn't normally fit into my days (in larger quantities anyway) so I was happy
