A Non Traditional Thanksgiving Feast

For my MFP friends, this does match my food diary yesterday! LOL A high calorie day for sure. Today is back to business. All the tools you learn in the weight loss phase comes into play for maintenance and the rest of your life. None of the skills you learn are wasted efforts. Even once you get to your goal, you don't stay in the same spot. Life happens, you enjoy celebrations and feasts, and at some point the party is over. You get back to business. You don't get discouraged. You know what to do. A scale is not needed. Your clothes get slightly tight, it's not a big deal, just do what you know how to do; calories and work out, it's a slow process, be patient, nothing else matters. If it's something you want, just do it.

Randy and I enjoyed a nice non traditional Thanksgiving on our back deck. We hiked the canyon in the background and came home to a simple yet delicious feast. We enjoyed every bite with no regrets. We are thankful for a wonderful long marriage and even though our house is not perfect we are Thankful for the beauty around us. We are thankful for the food and the food choices we have. Many in the world do not have any of this. Most of us in this country are blessed, more than we can probably imagine.
