    Like others said, it won't be pretty, but yes. I log ALL my days. Check out Thanksgiving on my diary! LOL! As long as you get back on track the next day, it doesn't hurt.

    I am hoping to log my calories. I know this Saturday might be tough because we are going to dinner with my grandmother, and I am going to see if they have the nutrition info somewhere. We went to Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving, and they don't have their nutritional information at all on their website. So I just do my best to make sure I get healthier options. As far as our actual Christmas meal at home, that shouldn't be too bad to log I don't think.

    Yes, This is a lifestyle it doesn't just disappear due to a date on a calendar.
    So I will hold myself accountable for every delicious bite I put in my mouth like I do every day. ^.^

    I log everything. I'm doing great and I don't want to fall into bad habits again. I'll still eat what I want but whatever I eat will be logged.

    I will continue to log it all. Even if I hit 5000 calories like I did on Thanksgiving.

    Better the devil you know...

    i'm going to log in and try to log, mainly because it'll stop me demolishing a whole pot of pringles! That said i fully intend to enjoy myself!!

    I log everything all the time. Even if I go 500-800 calories over, I log. I like to have it to look back on.

    Of course I will. I don't see how NOT logging makes you ENJOY food. Logging makes you accountable and the mindset that when you don't log/know what you're eating can be the reason we need fitness after all. I would love to turn a blind eye to what I eat on xmas but for me fitness is a constant battle- oh how I wish it wasn't! Happy holidays!

    Yes i'll be logging.

    What I will not be doing is giving a fegg about what I eat. Day off eating whatever i like BUT i want to log it all. All the damage, all the booze and all the cheesecake. Then the week after I'm going to work that whole big fat red number (and it will be mahoosive) off.

    Yes. Logging is part of my daily routine and I plan to log Christmas as well. I don't stress about going over, and I won't over the holidays, but if I'm not going to be accountable every day for what I eat, why bother? For me this is a life long change, so I have to be accountable every single day.

    I don't like any aspect of Christmas dinner, so I'm just trying to figure out what to eat. I always leave family gathering early because I am hungry and want food. I always get yelled at for it.

    For me yes I will Christmas day, that day is reserved for just me, my husband and my boys- its Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas that I HAVE to worry about! 2 family get togethers- and the one on the 26th WE HAVE NOTHING BUT JUNK, JUNK AND MORE JUNK! THAT will be the day I will not log! As far as Christmas Eve- yes I can eat small portions of things and still be good. Just staying away from ham- too much sodium! Merry Christmas everyone!

    Well, I will probably have 2 little kids excited to start the day, oh, guessing about 3 AM. No, won't log a thing!

    Yes!! So I know how much I consumed. No sense burying your head in the sand. Besides I may feel guilty and decide to burn half of it anyhow. I think I would stop at the 4000 calorie ballpark. If that don't satisfy me nothing wont.

    I definitely will.

    I also have it pencilled in for a cycle/run phase of triathlon training to take advantage of the empty streets.
    It's going to rock so hard. :)

    Probably not. I will try to make good choices and drink mostly water, and since I will be weighing in before we go out for the day, I'll have the rest of the week to make up any 'badness' I encounter :D

    I'm not logging on Christmas, I don't go crazy with dinner, because I'm a vegetarian so salty ham isn't an issue for me, and I get full pretty quickly, but I intend on snacking during the day and taste while I cook too, and if I log, I'll be more inclined to not snack, I'm very motivated and the "set your mind to it" kind of person, and I will not enjoy myself as much if I have to see what I've taken in. And I will work out extra the following weeks, because I know I'll have to, and that's ok with me, but if I see it, I won't do it, and I want to eat... lots.... of .... food.

    Did the same thing with Thanksgiving and never gained a pound, actually continued to lose weight, so it works for me. The way I see it is it is a lifestyle change for me, and my lifestyle includes holidays and birthdays and what not and if I can't just forget the diet for a day, and then get right back on track, then I won't stick to it at all. I've decided that for me, it's ok to have these days, and that helps me get through all the other days that I have to maintain my motivation and stick to the rules I have set for myself.
