Cuz I sure was! I don't know what came over me! Is that a chocolate marshmallow santa? Sure I'll have that. Oh I noticed there's pie...yes please. Chips and dip? Why don't I just pull up a chair next to the snack table. Sheesh! Those of you who did what I did - what are you doing to get back on track? And when? I'm already anticipating how I'm gonna behave on New Years when alcohol is involved!

    I love dips! thank goodness they only come around once a year for me!!
    would preferred mashed tatoes, but we never had a sit down meal this year. I think I would have fared better with that.

    Well I wasn't very good at making food choices the past couple weeks, lol. So starting today I'm eating healthier and continuing my workouts.

    Me personally, I lived off cookies..... and maybe a Reese cup or two...plus, why NOT drink Coke?? It's Christmas WEEKEND..... To get myself back on track I started with the dog walking last night after work to maybe account for a cookie....ok, half a cookie. And I'm right back to MFP this morning and lining up my NORMAL intake of food....which does not include soda, cookies or.... sadness..... Reese Cup trees : (

    I prefer the word debauchery to describe my eating yesterday!

    Ahh, hubby is not eating healthy, with no intent on doing so...we had potatoe salad, glazed ham, greenbean casserole, biscuits...blah blah! I did horribly and then had pound cake too. I'm feeling super guilty today. There are left overs all in the house and it's killing me. I was doing so well, then Christmas came and I went way off track!

    Here's to January and all the New Years "dieting". All the healthy, low cal food goes on sale! That I'm excited about, now all the yo-yo dieters in the gym for their New Years resolutions and possibly having to wait for tredmills and stuff BLAH! Oh well they'll be gone by February.

    I know I was! I logged in everything on MFP and went way over 3,000 calories!

    I indulged in lots of casseroles and cake for dessert. Not to mention about 4 glasses of wine. I brought leftovers home and had more last night. To top it off, I'm sick with a sore throat so I can't get out and exercise today.

    I can, however, clean out my refrigerator and pantry of all the leftovers and goodies I've been eating that I don't normally buy.

    Today is a new day!

    Yeah - I logged, was around 2200 calories and I might have missed a bite or two. Yikes! Today I walked/jogged 8 miles and have slapped myself out of it. hahahahahahaha. I would not really be annoyed at myself except that I was so over full and I haven't stuffed myself to the point of being uncomfortable in years. ANyway, back on track today. Jogged and had Fiber One cereal for breakfast. Whew!

    I literally have no family so it was just another day for me. I did however indulge in a vegetarian cheesesteak and onion rings because it was Christmas. But I exercised and had the calories for it. I came in at 3 calories under goal.

    Define BAD?

    Sure I ate like a hog and I've no guilt. I did discover that my body doesn't like too much rich food all at once, but I had a great time and I wouldn't have missed it for all the tea in China.

    I've had a packet of my favourite biccies today... but I was in the mood and I've been otherwise good.

    Just about to go to friends' Boxing Day Buffet and will no doubt indulge a little there too .... Naw who an I kidding... I'm going to get pretty hammered on wine and eat like a hog again :laugh:

    I ate so much yesterday that I was up half the night sick with pains in my belly. :(

    That's no fun at all.

    I splurged at our "christmas dinner" which was a japanese/thai buffet. I had brown rice and mounds of mushrooms, fried tofu, garlic spinach and sweet & sour eggplant. I estimated the calories but didn't limit myself, I rarely hit my calories anyway. Merry Christmas!

    I was terrible, worse than thanksgiving :( I made creme brulee, brie sourdough bowl, deviled eggs. We had 3 days different cakes, haam, prime rib, pasta salads, potatoes, omg. I ate a little of every thing!! I am so scared to step on the scale. I thiink once the left overs are gone I wont have a problem staying on track.

    Of course I was ... but I had planned on it. I hit the gym a couple of extra times last week and ate everything in sight yesterday. I climbed on the scales this morning and I was up .2 lbs (2/10 lb) from the day before Christmas. Back to the gym today, and the journey continues.

    I hope everyone had a great Christmas and didn't stress out over the food you ate.

    So I am right there with all of you, or at least most of you. Except I have been off the wagon for weeks. I was the cook yesterday, it was so good. even the strawberry cake and the Chocolate delight cake with ice cream, oh the kids even went to the store around midnight and we ended up with ruffles- my arch enemy. ( there is still half a bag down there, i am hiding upstairs from them.)
    Ok, leftovers aside now though, I really want to get through this, I have to get through this. I have been online looking for a good shopping list so I can go to the store. when My teenager wakes up we are going to the gym (middle of the day but oh well, at least we are going.)
    I have got to do this for me. Dang, my body can feel better than this. I can feel better than this.

    The gyms do get crowded in January with all the New Years Resolution dieters. Thank God that 90% of them will be gone by February as you said.

    I'm starting again slowly - it's been a rough holiday season. Today, I'm hitting my water, calorie, and macro goals. When I get back home on Wednesday, I'll start running again!

    I ate a lot more than usually, but bad, no! I still exercised and played some ball too.

    I had weighed myself daily the entire week before so I had an idea what I could get away with. The dessert stuff I really only ate if I really wanted it. I'm already logging and exercising today. Yesterday was just a break that I had earned though lots of hard work. The leftover desserts that I didn't really care for are on top of our fridge, out of sight because I am saving them for our son, and they will be gone or trashed if not eaten by Jan 2nd. BTW, I will not be the one eating those. Everything else in moderation, and I think I will be fine. Drinking lots of water too, and doing lots of cleaning. Keeps me full and busy enough to stay focused on my goals!

    I was very good and proud of myself. I cooked Christmas dinner, and since I don't care for sweets, everything turned OK.

    I did have 2 glasses of wine (never more than one for me), and a mini cheese and cherry tart that my DiL made for dessert , but my stomach didn't like my choices. Zantac to the rescue!

    Didn't gain any weight and I lost almost 1 lb this past week. Not what I was looking for since I am in maintenance but still loosing. May need to up my calories.

    Happy New Year everyone!

    For me, it wasn't so much the meal. It was the champagne, chips/dip, creme brulee, and all the any number of other snacks we had around the house. I logged breakfast and that was it yesterday. I don't even want to know. I stepped on the scale this morning. I wasn't happy with what I saw, but it knew it was coming. Gym today to counteract a bit of yesterday and dinner tonight as well....Honestly though, it was all worth it!!! My Christmas present to myself this year was to enjoy any food that came my way on Christmas day. The result: I had a wonderful Christmas and I'm still so full in general today that I really only want healthy things. I think it's a great trade off.

    I did horrible. I love green bean casserole, candied yams and creme pie. I wrote down everything I ate and it was a little over 2000 calories.

    Well, yes and no - I worked out yesterday before all the festivities began. But I did eat a little bit of cheese ball w/crackers, a bit of chicken nacho dip w/chips, enjoyed some wine, had a half of a spoon-full of mac & cheese and half a spoon-full of cheesy potatoes. I logged breakfast & lunch however by the time I got home last night I was exhausted on my feet so I didn't log dinner - first time in 3 months I didn't complete my food diary! :noway:

    I think I gained about 3 pounds over the last three days. I'll be fine. Until New Years Eve. And then I'll be fine.

    I was out of control yesterday but am back on track today. I feel like it was worth it as long as I don't let it derail my ultimate goal. One thing that does kinda suck is that between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then New Years, I feel like I am up, down, up, down, just to be able to enjoy these days, and had this not been holiday time I probably would have hit my goal already. Oh well. I am just happy to be where I'm at anyway :)
