It just flew out the window...

Okay, we're calling today a maintenence day. I've already hit my limit
for calories and we haven't even eaten dinner yet! It's a good thing I
did my 15 minute walk and cooked for two hours or I'd be sunk. Today is
the only day I'm allowing to cheat. Because it's a holiday I'll do a
maintenence day...Tomorrow I'm back at it! 

Yeah I didn't count today either.
My father-in-law got me and my husband a tin of "make your own smores." While I don't plan on stuffing myself, I would like to just enjoy my treat without trying to figure out all the calories.

As long as we start again tomorrow, it won't matter. It's good to eat like a normal person once in a while.

just added all my calories from today and Im at 1100 cals.  if I eat spinach for dinner and that cup of coffee Im making right now I will be around my 1200. OH CRAP!  I forgot to add that damn cadbury caramel egg! Ok so now I will be over a little bit! oh well!

ok I added it(190 more cals!)  so Im at 1292 for the day.  I didnt add the spinach yet but that will be not even 100 cals so not too bad right?  plus only my second day back on real food since being sick last week! And I should be starting my period any minute now!

Happy Easter!

man, i am so far out that window, it's not EVEN funny.  first of all, we're slow as hell here at work, which means a lot of nothing to do other than munch on everything in sight (damn, food service!).  then, this girl brought a ziploc full of brownies plus not one but TWO boxes of little debbie brownies that she doesn't like.  i've eaten a million and one brownies in addition to all the nachos,etc i've been snacking on ALL DAY.  leave it to me to make progress and then screw up two days in a row.  i guess tomorrow's a new day.

oh good. i'm glad i'm not the only one! me and my sister have been calling it a "maintance weekend!" hopefully we haven't done too much damage to our weight loss. as long as i haven't gained too much it'll be okay. i'm back on track tomorrow.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I just spent two hours cooking a meal
that I wasn't going to be able to enjoy if I didn't call it a
maintenence day! It's Easter folks! Just get back on track tomorrow and
we should be fine! Happy Easter! 

my numbers read 47-21-32  thats Fat-protein-carbs!!!!  my fat % is where my carbs usually are!!!

Ok everyone, let's not panic!  Keep things in perspective... it's a holiday, it's spending time with one's family/friends.  Each of us has and is doing our best, that's all anyone can ask for.  Rome wasn't built in a day and neither are eating habits changed in one day.  Batten down the hatches tonight, and tomorrow you start w/ a fresh day.  Slappy, you're still keeping track of what you eat, despite the #'s so good job there!  It'll all be ok :) 

Keep on Keepin' On!

thanks frog!  I figured I should.  I wasnt too upset about it except my fat percentage.  I will try to eat less fat tomorrow.

i didn't do too bad for the day.. 1222 calories right now, my mom and dad are trying to eat better too so we had a healthy easter dinner..  ham, twice baked potato (we each had 1/2 a potato) made with light cream cheese, low fat cheddar, and a touch of the queso dip from frito lay, green beans, and i brought a lettuce salad and the pineapple angel food cake (which was AWESOME!!).. but.. we had ham.. my sodium must be through the roof.. but it's easter.. :)  (and i don't really keep too close of an eye on that)  so i hope i'm not retaining water when i go weigh tomorrow.. 

**goes off to fill a pitcher with water to drink**

I had a good day, but for a holiday a maintenence day is perfectly acceptable. Good for you for being practical! I'm weighing in on Wednesday and am starting to get nervous. I've been good, but what if I stayed the same, or even worse, what if I gained? My body is pretty good at stay stable, so I am really nervous. I don't feel any different, and my tape measure is betraying me! 

Okay guys, I added up the damage...it's horrific!!! I ate close to 3600 calories today!!!! That is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

But...

It was a holiday. I wasn't really expecting not to! Does drinking a ton of water flush that out of your system so the scale doesn't reflect horrible numbers tomorrow??? Please tell me that's the case???

*Goes to fill water mug*

OK, Utah it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound.
That's 3500 calories more than you burn.
You would have to eat at around 5500 calories to gain a pound in a day. If the scale is high, you're just a little bloated.

I ate 2000 cals..but I ain't worried..I had a BLAST with my kids...and I do good most days so a day off wont kill me..lol..I ate 3500 or more cals a day for 10 years and gained about 60lbs..so I'm not going to lose sleep over today...I will work hard all this coming week though...I will make sure it doesn't become a habit or Ill be back where I started...(That pear  & raspberry pie and french vanilla ice cream was worth it..but 1 piece is enough..the rest will go to the rig so I wont be tempted..)

I didn't log any calories this weekend because of the holiday. Just decided to give myself two days off from it (without going too far overboard) and then start logging again this morning. My reasoning behind it was I didn't want to see how many calories I did eat over the weekend in case I got depressed and quit altogether. (Psyching myself out here) But I was proud of myself, ate out at restaurants and only ate half of the meals and no desert. I'm sure I'll see a weight gain because they put so much salt in restaurant food. But I know it should only be temporary.

I wouldn't worry about it utahangel, as long as it's not a regular habit, you should be fine. :-D

well, i guess we're all in this together, so i don't feel quite so bad.  i'm already back on track so far today.

BTW, after reading Slappy's post about eating spinach for dinner, i did the exact same thing (plus a slice of light bread and a light string cheese).  dinner was 170 cal, filling, and hopefully somewhat balanced out the 7th or 8th brownie ;)

Well I hope that it comes off eventually...yesterday sounded like a good day for everyone! LOL
