It's Christmas. I went over. Not way over; maybe not even to maintenance. I got up around 1800, which should be below maintenance but I have been a slug lately and I did that 2+ month stretch of really low calories that seems to have lowered how much I burn a little. Still probably below; I think my burn is 1900 or more. But 2 days ago I did a day 200 under in anticipation of going over. If I do another like that I will be back on track for the week.

I got a fitness watch for Christmas (which I asked for) to motivate me to start putting in the steps. But I also got some sriracha pecans, which taste a lot better than that might sound. Just a hint of spicy. I weighed out a half ounce of them; I could have easily eaten 4 or 5 times that much if I had free grazed on them. I also got some Lindor chocolate truffles and couldn't resist having a couple today. Most days I will only have one. I was doing fine until dinner and my wife made apple cranberry casserole. I had to have double helpings of that. That's what put me over; 640 calories (a guess on portions; but likely accurate enough) of oh so good. It was worth it. Stayed away from the rolls, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy but made up for it with that dish. Oh well; I will have to see what the scale says in a day or two. I may get some "jitter", but I know I didn't eat enough to truly change my weight any meaningful amount.
