Thanksgiving Chub

I went home last week for Thanksgiving. We stayed with my in-laws and had two big dinners. I managed to pack on 5 pounds in a week!!! My pants actually felt tight last night on the drive back to KY.

I pretty much ate whatever I wanted - because let's face it - it's Thanksgiving! I managed a 15 minute walk on Thursday and a two-hour hike through the woods on Friday (my family's tradition), but my back is KILLING ME so that's all the exercise I got. I don't know if I pinched a nerve or what, but I've got "take-your-breath-away" pain in my lower back. Spasms, cramps, throbbing... ugh. I'm too young for this!

Lots of fiber cereal, fresh fruit and veggies, and WATER for the next three weeks til Christmas!

Hope you all had a lovely holiday!
