    Yes! Logging helps me make better choices BEFORE the big meals...like carrot sticks and a lo-cal cheese stick for lunch before the rich dinner. I will probably go over calories, but not by as much as if I started eating cookies and pie at breakfast 'cuz that day doesn't count!!:happy:

    No Way!

    Just know it'll be around 10,000 calories, and I'll be 2 weeks recovering.

    I'll log, not so much to calorie count but more so I am aware of what I am eating and not being oblivious to it. My mum does amazing homemade Christmas dinners and I plan to enjoy the day. Not going to pretend I didn't eat certain things that I most definitely did, but watching the calories sky rocket will hopefully keep me in check from over-indulging on those candy canes and chocolates on the tree! Besides everyone deserves a treat day once in a while so might as well make it Christmas!

    Yes, but I'm not going to miss out on something I like. I'll just work harder before and after to make up for it.

    Merry Christmas x

    log christmas? Bwahahahahahaha, lets say I eat 3500 calories over my maintenance, that's 5700 kcal's and I still will only add 1 pound... nono, I am not pulling my iphone out of my vest at the dinnertable to evaluate the hard work of my hosts, not happening.

    I hope to, but Christmas for us is mostly just a regular day with an extra dessert. Breakfast will be normal, tea will be normal, dinner is just a regular roast but we'll have either individual Christmas pudding or a slice of apple pie. Hopefully I'll get some exercise in and I can't drink anything with lunch because I have to drive my mum home later in the day.

    I also feel that if I don't and have a total free for all, I will make excuses the next day, and then the next.......

    do you honestly think i have time to log in every detail of food i eat?! and also measure everything out that i normally do every day?! no!! so therefore i wont be logging food christmas day OR boxing day. 2 days off isnt going to hurt, it will probably do the world of good for some of those that are on a plateaux

    Yes, just because I know that if I skip just one day, I'll get all off track.

    Yes I will absolutely log, just like I did on Thanksgiving. Will I have a little of whatever I want? sure! But I need the accountability. Not everyone does. But being a former food addict, I need it.

    Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday's, they are all Free Days! Live and enjoy it. No one can get fat after one bad day.

    Of course I will!

    Christmas Eve after church, dinner, presents and everyone goes to bed my cousin and I go out dancing. I will probably burn 700-900 calories so I plan to spend the day eating fruitcake and drinking and playing with my presents by the fire.

    And I will gleefully log it just to rub it in everyone's faces :drinker:

    How's that for holiday cheer?

    Probably not. While I still try to make good food choices, I don't typically log on the weekends. It keeps me from getting burned out on logging and provides me an opportunity to indulge in some things that I wouldn't eat on a daily basis, and then I behave the rest of the week.

    I'm not going to log Christmas, I didn't log Thanksgiving either. I am going to do a long run on Christmas eve morning, I might even do a shorter run on Christmas day. I just want to enjoy my family and all the good desserts!! I love desserts, if I could just skip the meal and have dessert first I would be soooo happy!!
