    If you post that you are working out on facebook to shame those that aren't working out, then you're a douche. If you just go work out, then no.

    I'm doing a 10k run that morning, a "turkey trot", and I might 'check-in' on facebook, so, I'm a douche too.

    Ooooh, my workouts post to Facebook. I guess I am a douche!

    I originally planned on going to the gym, but my in-laws wanted to come over and eat early so they can get home at a decent time, so I won't be able to make it there. I might go for a quick morning jog though if I can fit it in with all the preparation. Maybe I'll take one of the dogs with me and leave hubby to clean up the house for a change haha

    Thursday is "walk" and pilates day. My gym will be closed. I'll do the hour walk first thing though.
    Thanksgiving is no different than any other day as far as I'm concerned.

    I am not working out for two reasons, and only these two reasons:

    1) It is my normal rest day.

    2) My gym is closed.

    So I don't think your a Douche either way! :flowerforyou:

    I am getting up at 7am thursday morning to go for my walk. I want to clear my head and burn a few calories. I am going to be cooped up all day with relatives I semi-like, so the time alone with just me and the kids will be wonderful. Plus I want a piece of pie, so I want to kill some calories in advance. Thursday is my normal work out day and I don't want that to change, so call me douche. Well, no, don't.

    Working out on Thanksgiving gives the right to really enjoy that piece of pie.

    I'm doing the baking and cooking for Thanksgiving. My exercise/running, etc is my me time.

    I'm spending the rest of the day in the kitchen while my hubby and our friends watch football.

    If going to the gym or going for a run outside on Thanksgiving makes me a douche, so be it.

    I'll probably "douche it up" and do a long cardio session Thursday morning.

    I worked out last Thanksgiving but the meal was a dinner, and I wasn't cooking. This year, I'm cooking a bit and we start eating at 2. ??!! So I may not work out.

    Who knows, I may be a douche, I may not.

    Darn TOOTING YES!!!!! My children are grown and GONE... its just me, so I can do what I desire. No hubby! The way I see it is - This lifestyle change requires that I STAY FOCUSED. I will be at that Gym.... even if I am there alone. ITS JUST WHAT I DO! I AM DEDICATED TO ME NOW.... If the Kids or Grand kids were here I would be at Home. :flowerforyou:

    I will be joining about 10,000 of my closest friends for run Thursday morning. If you're a douche for exercising on Thanksgiving, then I must live in douche-land!
