Share Your Easter Calories

My family didn't cook. We had KFC, which I never have seconds of. But I took a little of everything... plus two Turtle Brownies, and two Deviled Eggs. Which brought my Calorie count to a whopping 1,294, and that was for ONE meal. :grumble: Tomorrow won't be any better though. I'm cooking Easter dinner for my husband. We're having Mashed poatoes, ham, corn, dinner rolls, corn, and greenbeans. :indifferent: We'll see how that goes!

I ate over 200 grams of sugar, which when I look back on it, is something I did relatively frequently before joining MFP! I went for two runs today to try and counterbalance the calories, but I think I'm going to have to call it a day and just file it as fun, chocolate-filled day.

I just logged it made me want to cry 2800 calories and I even skipped the traditional Easter Breakfast at my Church because I wanted to be good! I also didn't get in any exercise--I wrote in my journal this was a glimpse at the OLD me and I don't like it one bit--I also feel kind of sick so hopefully this will teach me a lesson--Back at it tomorrow hopefully remembering how I feel right now!
Happy Easter Everyone
Thank goodness tomorrow is another day!

OMG waaaaayy to many!!! I walked 1.5 miles this morning at a brisk pace b/c I knew what today was going to bring. It all started with a kiss, a hershey kiss that is....and then it turned into a total sugar BINGE!!!!!!!!! :blushing: I am just trying to forgive and forget...tomorrow is a new day.....filled with lots of exercise!

I ate so badly this whole weekend I opted not to log any of it. I am so disappointed. :sad:

I just enjoyed the day. Too many calories to count- especially since my husband gave me an easter basket with my favorite chocolate candies. I counted this day as my cheat day. Hope everyone had a happy easter!!! :flowerforyou:

omg i definitely had so much food that i lost track. i feel gross. im not eating anything else for the rest of the day.. today and yesterday were my splurge days. im officially back on my 1200 cal plan tomorrow! in the meantime i will probably feel guilty and totally yucky.. i ate too much!!!!

i totally did the same thing ahhhh!!!!!!!!

Ok So here is what I am getting from this thread.

We are all learning a LOT from logging our calories. I feel that the more we know, the less often the food fests will occur.

Today I ate 1582 in cals. I shoot for 1200-1500 and I exercised.

Now what did I eat??? I aint telling!!

:smokin:

This weekend was a triple celebration (one reason being Ironic) so I ate bad all weekend. Saturday was my mother's birthday... and I haven't been home with her to celebrate one for quite awhile; of course, Sunday being Easter... BUT (heres the ironic part of celebration eating... I made my goal 125)


Anyway... I didn't log in because I was at their house & away from my computer, I knew I'd be over and bad. I bought a cheese cake for my mother's birthday cake and made an Easter Basket for them with Reeses PB eggs, mini chocolate bunnies & gelly beans... well, my dad had bought a big traditional sheet cake, my mom knowing we were coming over for both occasions had bought a pie, cherry cheese cake, ice cream & m & ms. Then of course, ham, au grautin potatoes, buns, green beans, & alcohol drinks.

i did manage to go for a walk today & burned 313 calories.

Ugh... I feel so sick, tired & cranky and I keep having these flashes where my face gets hot and red but the rest of me doesn't.... ??? Weird.

Congratulations on your goal!!

1511 for me. only 311 over and I didnt bother with excercise. I stayed away from the candy and skipped lunch. Small breakfast too. The bulk of my calories were from dinner. But I am ok with what I went over and its back to the grindstone tomorrow. Luckily it was at my mother in laws so no left overs and I made dessert and left that there too!!

I wanna know!!
Me! Me! Me!

well- i am supposed to stay within 1380 calories .. and after splurging today i stayed at 1340. the funny thing is, i know that eating the way i ate today makes me GAIN weight. I have been following my guidelines. I have stayed at or a litle below 1200 or 1250 calories and I have been doing cardio and taking boot camp classes at the gym and it just keeps going UP!!!!!!!!! help me out here guys!!!???:sad: because this is just killing me. I am 15 lbs heavier than i was last year. I am 5'5 and i weight 145. Last year I was 129 to 130 i bounced. This is killing me!

How long have you been on your current workout plan? You have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so you could be shedding fat and building lean muscle...


As for today, I got in 1940 cals, and was over by 230. That includes a regular southern breakfast of Biscuits, with Eggs and Gravy + Turkey sausage patties. Didn't eat lunch. Had the traditional Easter dinner, Ham, Yams, Potato Salad, Deviled Eggs, Cole Slaw, and Mac N Cheese. I was pretty proud of myself last night though. I stayed up until midnight cooking, and didn't sample anything...My wife was a willing taste tester for me
