So who else is counting through the holiday?

I'll be logging and making good choices. I'm not going to tell myself "no" but I am going to tell myself "less".0

I'm not logging, but I'm trying to be reasonable about what I eat.0

I'm logging! No way I'm allowing the holidays to spoil the work I've been putting into this journey!0

I'm logging! I want to see how what/how much I eat will affect my short term fluctuations I'm a data geek
This is why I'm doing it. I have a big excel spreadsheet. I already have some missing data from September and it kind of drives me nuts. No more missing data!0 -
I am logging! Went over last night, but hey, I still did so much better than I could have. For me logging is key. I need to stay accountable or I will start slipping into old eating habits.

I'm counting and doing exercise! If I allow myself to slip too badly, I will revert back to my old habits.0

I am! Some say it's the holidays and you should make an exception...not me! I log in every day..if I miss a day, I log in everything from the day before. I can't slip up now..I've come to far and this time of year is especially crucial. If I can get past the temptation of all these delicious holiday foods, then there's nothing I can't do. So far, I've done awesome. Turkey day was a breeze and Christmas is turning out to be great as well. I just don't need that junk anymore. It feels good to have that power and control over your body. Happy Holidays,everyone!0

I'll log as best I can, but I find it difficult when someone else does the cooking since I don't know what goes into the food. I'm going to my aunt and uncle's for Christmas dinner today, so my plan is more just to make healthier choices. I had a slice of cheesecake last night, thinking Christmas would be treat time, and then felt ill. Won't be doing that today!0

I'm logging!!
I have to hold myself accountable or else I will fall back into old habits and eat 3,000 calories.0 -
Not logging, not counting. I'm going to have what I want, when I want it, with no guilt or regret. Then, at midnight on boxing day, the feasting is over, and I'll go back on track. I know I will not undo all the hard work I have achieved so far, in 2 days. Allowing myself a blow out now and again stops me from falling off the wagon, with all it's associated guilt, condemnation and all!0

I am!!! I'm allowing for holiday treats as part of my daily totals, so that I can eat the same things as everyone else. I just exercise portion control!! I lost 7 pounds last week!! Its not as hard as I thought it would be!! Today, Christmas day, will be a breeze!!0

I'm keeping track but I'm letting myself indulge for the day0

I gave it my best guess... but it's really hard to know how close it is since I just picked stuff out of the database like "Macaroni and Cheese - Homemade"... "Corn bread stuffing - homemeade" "roasted turkey, meat only" etc. I didn't look at any labels of anything at my sister's house, just guessed when I got home. I just ate small amounts of everything to try everything so whatever I found in the database I gave myself "1 serving".
My guess put me at around 2100 calories.. which is over my limit but not by a whole lot (1870 per day). It may not even be remotely close, but I wasn't going to leave yesterday blank.
Now with leftovers today for lunch, and my traditional chinese dinner tonight (only place open) I might go over again today, but I'm also running 4 miles today so should be OK.0 -
I log all year long and workout so I don't have to log during my Christmas Vacation. That's just me. It's my reward to myself.
Merry Christmas Everyone.0 -
Its better If I do log, that's waht 's going to keep me accountable. Even before I started logging I was OCD about counting, just never actually logged it. By doing this it helps me to actually see what Im eating and is really helpful0

Logging then going OMG HOW MANY CALORIES????.
Not going to beat myself up though that would take all the fun out of the day. Just burn it all off in the New Year. I already have my excercise plan worked out to start 20120 -
I kinda long, burn don't get to angry with myself for not... I also raised my join from 2 lbs/wk to 1, to make it less stressful!0

I'm not logging today but I've made appointments for Pilates and training for the rest of my time off. It's great to know I have enough control now so that if I indulge a little today, I know I I'll be totally back on mtrack tomorrow. I don't know that I've ever felt that degree of self assurance before - it feels great.0
