    Find out if there is at Turkey Trot in your city that morning. Do the Turkey Trot, even if you have to walk the entire way! Then you won't want to waste the calories you burned by loading up on calorie laden foods. Fill your plate up with healthy stuff first, then have small portions of the "bad" stuff. I always make and take a salad and eat that first. Then eat all your "bad" stuff last that way you are full and you eat less.

    Great suggestion. I took it. I will be doing a 5 mile race Thanksgiving morning. This also gives me great motivation to train for it over the next couple of weeks. This is why I love this site.

    I've started the couch to 5K program. I'm only on week 2, so I wont be able to run it like I would like to but I'll be able to run SOME of it :) I downloaded the app to my iPhone/iPad. So easy!

    I did the Turkey Trot a few years ago and I want to beat my time. a lot.

    Check active.com for turkey trot locations near you.

    OK... I know this is going to sound weird.. but why not just induldge, be excessive and feast? The harvest excess feast has been a tradition in Northern Europe for thousands of years. Get Ancestral. Eat and drink! Remember your familly and thank your God for the abundance!

    Get on track tommorow.

    Geez ya'll are silly.

    (For more info on this tradition, see my blog called "Winter Nights")

    I will be cooking the dinner, so have to be mindful about "tasting."

    I don't expect to obsess on every bite, but not going to go overboard either.

    This year, I plan that the only thing at the table that will be "stuffed" will be the turkey!!!!:noway: :laugh: :laugh:

    If I falter, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are other days for good choices and extra exercise.

    Happy Turkey Day, everyone!!!

    I plan to eat small portions throughout the day. Sort of graze. I will have little mini meals that way my body has a chance to use up what I take in as energy before it goes into the fat stores plus I am going to get in a good work out that morning.
