How bad did you do?

Yikes. I didn't keep track. I'm pretty sure after the last 3 days that I will gain 1-3lbs. I'm not weighing again until the 1st though so hopefully if I did gain I can at least lose some of it by then. I will be back on track tomorrow.

I maintained within range of my goal weight... yay! But I’ve been maintaining for 5 years so I know that I can even out any holiday overeating during the next few days/weeks by eating slightly less and ramping up my exercise a bit (I ran a 10K on Xmas day) I’ve had a fantastic holiday and hope you all have too!

Nothing crazy, but I didn't log.

Had just a late/larger breakfast and then dinner on both days. Christmas Eve for a change (and because I knew I'd be busy) did a boeuf bourguignon, and my sister did an additional veg (high cal holiday veg with cauliflower and broccoli plus cheese, etc.). Plan was to have ice cream after midnight mass, but we were all tired.

Nice Christmas brunch of bacon and eggs plus some leftover vegetable and some fruit on Christmas, and then a friend had a Christmas dinner I attended that involved roasted turkey breast, a savory bread pudding, and holiday brussels with bacon and chestnuts, dessert was a poached pear. Stuck to reasonable serving sizes both dinners.

I have no idea how bad I did as far as calorie counting goes.

I did a lot better this year than I have in years past. I mostly ate foods that I don't eat everyday & skipped out on the ones that I can pretty much eat any day of the year. I definitely didn't eat as much as I did the one year in maintenance where I was practically on the floor rolling around in pain & my sister commented that it was like I was having a food hangover.

My meal consisted of two plates of homemade baked mac & cheese, homemade sausage dip (my sister made this & it was really good), deviled eggs, & little smokies.

My dessert was a bit on the gluttonous side, but I had a whole container of Turkey Hill Egg Nog ice cream & around three servings of Aldi's Millville Brand Snickerdoodle Kookies cereal.



I'm sure I way overestimated my calories on MFP, but it was worth it to indulge in a family celebration rather than skip out & become too obsessive about calorie counting. I did eat my dessert after most of my family left in case I got any weird stares or judgments.

i could have done better at dinner, but did great at breakfast. Had a few too many glasses of Proseco, but did somewhat ok on the desserts. Got on the scale, and this morning I was down a lb

Not bad enough as i'm still the same weight even after eating at least a quarter of the food out on the table.

I took the 24th and 25th off logging, 24th ate sensibly (I'm in maintenance and looking to wean off logging but it's going to take a while) and yesterday planned and ate a few things I just felt like that I'd have denied myself on a regular day. Morning oatmeal and an apple, and a quick workout was followed by a breakfast casserole with cheese, bacon and tater tots, and toast. In the afternoon I ate a medium sized bag of cheesy/caramel corn and a bag of peanut chocolate bark. I made some butter cookies and had a few of those. In the evening I roasted a turkey breast and we had veg and gravy and some bread rolls. Not terrible, up a little, no damage done though.

Not suprisingly I didn't eat much since my husbands grandparents don't cook ...er that great of food and neither did his aunt. Came in under my normal calorie goal for both days!
