Hi Guys!!

I found this and thought it was so amazing that I would share. I know everyone is stressing about their will power next week but this website allows you to prepick your food and then tells you how far you would have to walk to burn em off.. SO PLAN AHEAD!! know the general nutritional value of the most common foods before you go.. I know when I see the fat content on some of the deserts before.. it keeps me far far away from them

    Not to bad would be my usual caloric intake for the day so as long as I ONLY ate thanksgiving dinner that day I would be fine...
    but I AM in Canada so our thanksgiving was last month :D

    Enjoy my American friends :D

    oh wow, and they left off the baked mac and cheese, the chocolate cherry pie, and the jello salad no wonder we all passed out afterward

    hahah! Thanks for the link! Here's what I plan to eat!

    One mixed drink, One glass of wine, One ounce of potato or tortilla chips, Six ounces of cured ham, Six ounces of white and dark turkey, Six ounces of prime rib, A slice of pumpkin pie, ...that comes to 1670 calories. You will need to walk 16.7 miles, 26.93 kilometers, or 33400 steps, assuming you cover one mile in 2,000 steps.

    I will have to go biking twice during the week!

    Wow - way to put it in perspective! Our usual fixins plus a couple pieces of pie gets me almost as many calories as I'd eat for a whole day! The plan is to do some yardwork before we eat though so I think I'll be ok. Maybe go for an after meal walk too...
