I always buy a turkey to roast b4 TG because it is so cheaply priced during the season but there's no "family" left to share it with. So, i have no concerns about overeating. I just freeze and make stock out of most of it.1

2 gallons of apple cidar
6 cinnamon sticks
anout 1/4 cup of brown sugar (depends how sweet cidar is)
bottle o whiskey.5 -
Thanksgiving is a day that I eat what I want in huge quantities and don't care. It's one day. I enjoy it with family and get back on track the next day.2

I am going to eat all the foods and drink all the drinks... I FINALLY get to have some alcohol. :drinker:7

I will be doing full body depletion sessions the day before and day of. Then I shall allow the wonder that is lobster lasagna to refill all of the things. Because *kitten* turkey; we eat enough of that *kitten* the rest of the year.1

I will be in large deficit the week before, fully deplete myself doing a full body workout the night before and then eat everything in sight for a few days to replenish my glycogen stores and leptin.3

We celebrate once on Thursday with my husband's family and once on Saturday with mine. Because of that, it's actually a little easier to keep things in check at each celebration since I don't have that "it's only one day" mindset and I know there will be more goodies to enjoy. Plus on those days I tend to only eat a very small breakfast and try to get in a long walk in the morning - so then one big meal each day tends to put me around or just above maintenance calories.
It's my third year on MFP and every year after it's over and there's no permanent damage on the scale (short term water weight only) I think, man I should have had a second piece of pecan pie... perhaps this year.5 -
I'll exercise in the morning. Eat way too much. Rationalize that I'm on a special one day bulk. And finally fall asleep watching a football.game.
That's my strategy.6 -
Thanksgiving food is so freakin gross to me so no worries since I won't be eating most of it.1

Work out and eat at or slightly over maintenance.1

Yeah, seriously, same with Christmas, no idea why people go so crazy over this food, it's all horrible to me0 -
i dont log or care. 1 im cooking for like a billion people and want to enjoy myself with friends and family. I eat and drink to my hearts content and keep it moving the next day. i am not every going to cook for 10 people and build recipies and log everything. nope.
i said in another post from thanksgiving to new years i endulge and go pretty crazy. I keep my activity as high as possible and it has never caused weight gain besides water weight. i love it all... the food.. the baked foods.. the drinking.. the parties.. the cheer and friends and family. I live for the holidays.
i make a drink thats apple cidar, cinnamon sticks, a little brown sugar, and a bottle of whiskey. it sits on the stove warm and we just drink it all day/night. haha YES WINTERTIME!!
What's your menu for the multitudes, if you don't mind my asking? Always looking for a little inspiration and something unexpected on the table.1 -

I'm making pecan pie, but I'd prefer something I actually like~
As for the day itself, I'm doing a 5k in the morning and will probably stick with 5:2 a little longer. I was planning on dropping a fasting day, but I'll probably be stuck with both days after all the stuffing I'm eating.0 -
If you're asking if I'll be slamming down a piece of pumpkin pie mashed together with pecan pie, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with whip cream, and a cherry on top... then yes... yes I am...3
