Thanksgiving

Just wondered what you all are doing/planning for Thanksgiving if you celebrate? Are you planning to give yourself an off day? Or are you tracking that day?

For me personally I am going to still track but try to watch portions.

    I am going to plan out my meal and track, but I will be eyeballing the portion size for beans and things of that nature. I will be counting my turkey slices though and my yeast rolls that I eat.
  • That whole weekend I will be at the bf's family home. I don't think I'll track but I will definitely try to make good decisions, especially since there won't be any good opportunities to work out :( But this is real life, eh? Gotta adjust?

    My birthday is Wednesday, Thanksgiving is Thursday. I'm not going to track food, but I'm going to limit what I eat to only the things that really taste good - I'm giving myself permission to taste everything I want, but I'm not going to be ashamed to descretely toss what I don't really want to finish.
    I am going to keep up my exercise routine.
    I love Turkey Day.

    I will be with my parents, my sister in law and her two kids, my sisters 2 kids, my 4 kids and hopefully my husband. He delivers in Laredo Texas on monday and he is unsure if he will be able to make it back up to NY by thursday. I am going to let myself enjoy the day but I am going to take much smaller portions than I normally would.
