It's been awhile since I've posted on here. I wanted to share my fitness NSV. I ran my first 5k yesterday and ran it in 34:52. My goal was to do it under 40 mins. At the gym, I was doing about 38 mins on the treadmill, I am very happy with my results! This will be a new hobby for me and I hope to someday be able to do a half marathon.LAST WEEKS FINALS:

I hope you ladies don't mind me peeking in here, but I had to come check up and see how everyone was doing!!! It's 2 weeks until Thanksgiving... so how far is everyone from their goal?? I have managed to gain too much already this pregnancy :-/ but when the nausea was so strong, only unhealthy, carb-filled foods sounded good. So, that's what I ate. Now I'm feeling better and am going to be able to better manage my gain! Anyway, I hope you all are going to meet your goals! I'm so proud of you for sticking it out!!!0

I would eat something before you go out that way you wont be as hungry so you will eat a smaller portion of the bad meal.-OR- just enjoy it and get back on track!0 -

Thanks, this sounds wise! I do eat healthy snacks regularly but I will make sure I'm not STARVING before going lol I'm also going to exercise this afternoon to burn plenty. Have to keep the alcohol to a minimum I'm afraid. 0 -
Hello to our neighbors across the pond!
Thanksgiving is a holiday that is said to have begun with the very first Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was a celebration of their first successful harvest to which the Wampanoag Native Americans were invited as they taught the new immigrants how to plant and fish for native plants and animals. There is some actual historical contention about where and when the actual first harvest was and took place, but this is the one we teach our school children.
From a current history perspective I shall defer to Wikipedia for the dates and such:
"Thanksgiving in the United States, much like in Canada, was observed on various dates throughout history. The dates of Thanksgiving in the era of the Founding Fathers until the time of Lincoln had been decided by each state on various dates. The first Thanksgiving celebrated on the same date by all states was in 1863 by presidential proclamation. The final Thursday in November had become the customary date of Thanksgiving in most U.S. states by the beginning of the 20th century. And so, in an effort by President Abraham Lincoln (influenced by the campaigning of author Sarah Josepha Hale) to foster a sense of American unity between the Northern and Southern states, proclaimed the date to be the final Thursday in November.[15]
It was not until December 26, 1941, that the unified date changed to the fourth Thursday (and not always final) in November -this time by federal legislation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, after two years earlier offering his own proclamation to move the date earlier, with the reason of giving the country an economic boost, agreed to sign a bill into law with Congress, making Thanksgiving a national holiday on the fourth (not final) Thursday in November."
As far as modern times goes. Thanksgiving is a time to remember what you're thankful for in your life and year. It is a time for family togetherness AND YES an American-rules Football game AND excess food.
The food. A typical, but by no means comprehensive list of foods at Thanksgiving in the U.S. are, in fact, food that would typically come from a fall harvest: Turkey, Turkey gravy, stuffing (a combination of broth, breadcrumbs, poss. some sort of dried fruits or nuts--stuffed inside the Turkey and baked inside (or in a small dish) and served on the side), mashed potatoes, baked "yams" (american sweet potatoes), cranberry jelly, usually some sort of steamed vegetable on the side (corn, green beans or carrots), bread rolls...Dessert usually a Pumpkin or Sweet Potato or Apple pie and something terrible made from Jello. There is also usually a lot of buffet style snack food type things out before the meal, black olives, vegetables with dip, chips (crisps for you folks), possibly deviled eggs (hard boiled eggs, halved, the yolks removed whipped and spiced and then put back in the whites on a tray).
Most (though not my current employers...) give not just the Thursday of Thanksgiving off, but also the Friday after that, making for a four day weekend. The Friday after Thanksgiving day is considered to be the official first day of the Christmas holiday (shopping) season and is referred to as "Black Friday" because most stores have massive sales that day and retailers rely on that day to bring their accounts out of "the red" and into "the black."
Hope this helps!
Oh! And I think it's house to house, but no Thanksgiving is the holiday that everyone sits down to a meal together, not "Christmas Dinner." But I guess you could safely say that Thanksgiving is our Christmas dinner (as far as food or togetherness and all that).0 -
wow thanks for that! Sounds amazing!! although I can't say I envy all the food, glad I can avoid that whilst on this diet lol all sounds yum though! Hope you all enjoy!Hello to our neighbors across the pond!

Ugh I'm bloated and feel like crap and up over 2 lbs :sad: And I saw some flurries this morning so that's the icing on the crappy cake :mad: Hope everyone did well this week. Csmiles23 - I've actually never had deep fried turkey before, but it's kind of sterotypical of Americans to love everything deep fried. I mean state fairs have deep fried twinkies, snickers bar, coke and BUTTER (ICK ICK ICK). I'm actually not a fan of turkey, but I do love mashed potatos and green beans! 0

Plantgrrl, thank you for your informative description of Thanksgiving. I didn't really know anything about it. I'm now really craving turkey with all the trimmings though! Bring on Christmas already!!
I have lost 3lbs this week, but it was TOM last week so I wouldn't be surprised if it's really just the bloating/water retention/general weight gain I usually get. Either way, I'm now at the lowest I've ever weighed though, so that's good.
Well done to everyone who's lost this week, and if you've gained don't worry. We'd never appreciate the good without seeing the bad.0 -
