    I'm running a Turkey Trot on Saturday. So if I don't want to feel like a heaping ball of crap on Saturday morning, I'll refrain from eating half a pumpkin pie and 3 scoops of Penn State Creamery ice cream. Yeah that's right. Say what you want about PSU, but they have damn fine and fattening ice cream. I will eat a large serving of turkey with cranberry sauce smothered all over the top. Seriously gravy is gross, nutrition facts aside. I have never enjoyed the stuff. Butter on the other hand...yum. I'll be enjoying some mashed potatoes with real butter, mmm.

    This year should be interesting because instead of the normal 5-person T-giving Dinner family posse, there will be 10 people attending. I have no idea what will be on the menu besides the traditional stuff. I do know that my mother is angry that she's not hosting it, so I'm guessing we won't be sticking around as long to chow down on the pile of leftovers like vultures. Mmm hmm, good ole family drama.

    I am doing the Turkey Trot 10K @ 7am Thanksgiving day. The way I figure is that will give me the OK to eat anything and everything that I want... INCLUDING pumpkin pie with cool whip!!!! Then after I will sit on the couch, watch football and yell at the TV.

    Then I will do it all again in the evening (except the 10K) because that's when MY family is getting together for Thanksgiving.

    Looking forward to going over to friends 5 minutes from us with 4 other families. Everyone brings a dish. I try a little of what looks good to me and then suggest a walk which we always do after Thanksgiving meal. *Advantage of living in Arizona and putting up with scorching heat during the summer.

    I will be on a week long trip to the Amazon River!! I'll most likely nibble on a fire roasted pirahna rather than a turkey leg...but it might turn out to be the best Thanksgiving meal ever! :tongue:

    I'll be eating disturbing amounts of everything and topping it off with a downright selfish amount of pumpkin pie with ice cream. Afterwards, I'll lay on the floor and grunt. When I get home, I'll not log anything nor will I give two sh*ts about any of it.

    Resume logging the following day and act like it didn't happen.

    Bar far the funniest/best one :-)

    See yall must come from Disney style familes where all is wonderful.....

    for me... The Holidays are reminders that while i do love my family.. there is REASONS we all went different ways. I love them to DEATH. and i love them in small doses.


    After the twentieth million time of turning the tv to top volume to catch the game to overcome one child screaming about SOMETHING Or another (can you TELL i have no kids yet) and then dealing with the Republican/democrat (politics... UGH) split we have running in the house my first snack after meal usually involved a bottle of asprin. Then a bottle of Patron.

    That was my OLD lifestyle. THIS year, i can simply say "Hey, yall know ive lost weight and with this meal and all, i gotta go walk. You know how it is... " Then i can whistle a happy tune and walk out the door and do a walk for an hour. Multiple times. As needed. to keep me fit... to keep me SANE. Sane(er)
