Up and at 'em early. Having some coffee and will have a light breakfast then get ready and hit the road by 7 am.
Carla, I'm so jealous of your plantage meals! I am always on the lookout for something like that around here.
Nanc, hope you have fun today! I haven't been eating beans like I was for a while there. I need to get back to making a big batch of beans and greens soup or stew on the weekends.
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Magic - your cardiologist sounds fantastic! Great tests she ordered! Too bad sister is not interested in a healthier diet after all the have been through. I am jealous too. I guess I need to look into strength training. I hate being one of the January resolution gym newbies. I have some 5 l weights. Could easily start with that.
Carla - how often do you get your food delivered. Everything sounds yummy. How are Ruby and Radar?
Mihani - sorry about the rough week and hope you had a nice time with family.
We had Thanksgiving with friends. I brought an Apple, walnut, cranberry baby green salad, roasted Brussels sprouts with pecans and balsamic glaze, and gluten free stuffing with celery, onion and mushrooms. It was a yummy and did not miss the turkey. Long walk with dogs.
I have been stressed trying to get things done for Xmas before we leave on our trip. This is a picture my friend sent me . He is in Nepal.

Wow, that picture is gorgeous, Bisky! I wouldn't mind that hanging on my wall. Glad you had a nice TG.
I had a wonderful time visiting family but so tired now. Three hours there, then another almost 2 hours to the next place for Thanksgiving. Spent about 6 hours there, then another almost 2 hours back to stay with my aunt, then up early this morning and another 3 hours back home. I am so glad to be home, but glad we went. We laughed so much.
One of my cousins and his wife made a couple vegan dishes for me. So sweet of them.
I am now roasting potatoes and mini peppers so I'll be set for a few days. I am refusing to even boot up my real computer today so I'm not tempted to check work emails and end up working a few hours. I'll be in the office all weekend and two full days in a row off is needed.
Just waiting for the potatoes to get done and then a very long nap is planned.

I've been alternating napping and reading since yesterday evening. I need to try to get motivated to get to the office but I have a raging headache. Hopefully some coffee and breakfast will cure me. I'd like to get enough done that I can bring some files home to work on tomorrow rather than going back in.
I roasted potatoes and mini peppers yesterday. Had burritos for dinner with whole wheat tortillas, vegetarian refried beans, sauteed zucchini and onion, roasted peppers and salsa. Delicious and will be dinner again tonight.
Plan for the next couple days is oats with berries for breakfast, potatoes and cooked veggies for lunch, veggie wraps for dinner.
I did pretty well eating right while traveling and visiting. I had packed up fruit and lara bars for the road, and there wasn't anything to tempt me at dinner since the only vegan dishes were the ones my cousin made for me. They had some oil, but I can live with that. It's one meal and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Love the picture, Bisky!
Sounds like everyone enjoyed their TG. Mine was fine...it is what it is...never is going to change. Remind me not to stress next year. Will make it even easier.
Today, I made up a bunch of Vegan Ninja Creami pints...taking over to my sister's. Niece and her husband and four-year-old daughter will appreciate them.
Mani pedi (put it off for two weeks) early. Heading out at 2:30 for ice cream social.
Yesterday was the exact day/date that I had to say goodbye to my Ernestine. The day after Thanksgiving and the 24th. I held on to Lulu so tightly.
today...
just egg frozen on toast
bean burrito
ice cream social
some kind of vegan sand to take along in case I stay for dinner.
Off to take a shower and get into the day. Big walk this morning with LML!
Later, gang. Make it deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious!0 -

Hi y'all. My sleep is all out of whack from travel and not sleeping well in a strange bed, taking too many naps after I got home, too much junky food, too little exercise.
So today it's back to normal! Slept in and now have laundry going and getting ready to finally make the lentil soup. I will get some treadmill time in later today. I want to be at my desk by 1:00 and work the whole rest of the day.
Glad you had lots of good visiting time with the family, Nanc.

D - potato with roasted broccoli and mini peppers and some of the Good Foods tzatziki

Whew, guys, I just had my butt handed to me by a virtual reality workout! We got a new VR gaming headset but it also does lots of other things. I got a Les Mills Body Combat fitness program (shadow boxing) and it is awesome. In a 3d environment, you have targets coming towards you with different moves. uppercut, jab, etc and you have to hit the target in the center using the right move at the right time. And then there are objects that you have to dodge and others you squat under. It is so fun and satisfying to hit the targets to the beat and there's feedback as you hit the targets.
What is cool about it is that you don't need a PC and it is wireless, so you can easily find an open space to play. Including outdoors.
I found a video that gives you the idea, but it feels very different when you are in the headset and everything is 3d

so excited. I'm using another fitness app called Supernatural that has boxing, flow movements, stretching and meditation. It keeps track of your stats and you can set goals. Finally my love of playing video games is going to get me in shape!!! I already did my boxing workout and then I started in on the Supernatural fitness and here I am all sweaty again.1

That sounds fun, Carla! So nice when we can find something we enjoy doing as far as exercise. Work got in the way so I had to cancel my appointment with the personal trainer at the new gym last week but rescheduled for this Thursday.
I am back on track with food yesterday and today.
B - ezekiel english muffin with tahini
L - lentil soup and raw veggies
S - apple and a small handful of pumpkin seeds
D - baked potato with the Good Foods tzatziki and roasted broccoli
Got my mile in this morning on the treadmill. I am not doing well with that on the weekends. I get up and think I'll do it later, but I don't, so I am going to have to treadmill first thing even on weekends.
