Are you a douche if you work out on Thanksgiving?

    I will be joining about 10,000 of my closest friends for run Thursday morning. If you're a douche for exercising on Thanksgiving, then I must live in douche-land!

    ^^^This!^^^ However, I will not be joining 10,000 of my closest friends. Nor will I be running Thursday morning. But everything else, yes! :tongue:

    Turkey Trot in the AM, so I'm douching it out. Maybe some weights at home. At the least, I'll feel less guilty during dinner when I demolish the bird. Which is the word, apparently.

    I'll be doing a short 3 mile run with sprints at the end; then doing basic calisthenics. Today I ran 5 miles; did yard work; and I'll be having 2000 calories; tomorrow with 500 calories or less a long day of high volume weight training with some elliptical action. I'll deplete glycogen basically so I can go back to normal on Friday; rapid fat loss starts Monday; lasts 2-4 weeks; pretty much the low carb warrior diet. First 2 weeks of Christmas break I'm taking a week off though on exercise; just weights; getting shin splints again.

    I'll be lifting while the turkey is in the oven.

    I'm a douche everyday though, so I don't think I can help you with your question.

    Meeting my personal trainer on Wednesday and then in the a.m. will do a cardio workout in the privacy of my home in honor of Thanksgiving. Thankful that I have body parts that work.

    People aren't douches for doing what makes them happy, even if it's not approved by everyone.

    Best day to workout- no time crunch and then I enjoy a small treat at holiday meal guilt free

    I like to do a killer workout on holiday mornings, because it increases my appetite and helps me clear my digestion so I can eat as much as physically possible. I also get sleepy if I don't workout, so I don't enjoy the family time as much. I clearly work out to enable my enjoyment. Not douchey!

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! I will be doing 1/2 my regular Thursday workout - I will have to skip my Elliptical time as I need to get to the food kitchen by 8am to deliver meals, then I'll be busy cooking ours, transporting it to the meal site - afterward it will be clean up, the drive home and to bed! I completely intend to eat sensibly! I do not want a set back on the achievements I have recently made.

    Have a bountiful Thanksgiving all; enjoy the day whether you choose to workout or relax:heart:

    5 mile turkey trot race on Thursday morning for me. It's for charity, and they do a canned food drive at the race. That negates the douchiness. :)

    Then call me douche; I plan on doing my normal morning workout and a 5k Turkey Trot. Guess that's douching it up!

    ^^^ same here, Turkey Trots make it okay to workout on Thanksgiving. After dinner me & my grandsons go for a long walk, too.
