    1. Stay within calories.
    2. Walk the dogs.
    3. Workout: Strength today. Burn Circuit 2.

    Today I am going to spend the whole day cooking for Thanksgiving dinner!

    I realized last night that this is the first time in many years that I am doing most of the work myself. I have been getting my daughters to do most of the work for me because I wasn't physically capable of doing it all myself.

    This year it worked out that all of my older daughters will not be having dinner at home. I am so excited to do it myself! I've got tons of energy and can't wait to get started making all kinds of treats for my family.

    Bri's Ultimate Thanksgiving Showdown Challenge

    1. WEDNESDAY : Make delicious stuff but keep the tasting to a mimimum. Log everything and stick to calorie goals. Walk at least 5 miles.

    2. THURSDAY: Have a wonderful time enjoying the company of my friends and family, savor the feast, log everything. Walk at least 5 miles.

    3. FRIDAY: Work the very best of the leftovers into my calorie goals. Log everything. Walk at least 5 miles.

    Ok I failed miserably at not tasting as I cooked, big time! But I did log practically everything and was still under with my exercise calories so I feel like I had a good day. I certainly had fun!

    I'm looking forward to day 2 of my challenge!

    Make sure I drink water.
    Cut down on drinking tea.
    Track everything that I eat.
    Cross trainer- do at least 15 mins.
    Move more- less sitting on the sofa.
    Stay positive.

    Good Luck everyone with your goals - just for today. Take one day at a time and just do your best. We will all achieve our goals in the end. Just keep chipping away and that slimmer person will appear.
