Hi, :wave:
I have an idea for those who are watching their calories, especially around this tough time of temptation etc etc. First, eat a huge salad, skip the gravy on the turkey (unless you want to use it as a cheat element :D ), load up on the cooked veggies, oh heck, have a little bit of mash potatoes, and for me, a small piece of pumpkin pie. In addition to these ideas, make sure the plate isn't overflowing with food. :D I'm going to do an extra workout, and now I feel like if I do this, I will still enjoy myself and not feel like a pig! :p What are some of you ideas?

m.thanksgiving. well, i don't think this holiday will be TOO hard for me. I don't eat meat, so I won't have to worry about turkey,gravy,or gnerally sweet potatoes. It's just the mashed potatoes I'm worried about! lol.

Well, we actually went organic this year for the first time. We had an organic turkey, mash, corn, yams, and even the bread, stuffing, and pumpkin pie!!! LOL To be honest, the meal wasn't as tasty as the "traditional" meal, but it was still good. We try to eat organic as much as possible. Well, I had a little turkey, oh organic gravy, corn, mash and a little bit of stuffing. I also had a small piece of pumpkin pie, but I did a hard workout, and ate real sensibly the rest of the day!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! :wave:

I went all out and ate til I was stuffed!...but heck I deserved it! I got to see my fiance' who is in the Navy for the first time in 6 weeks and it was Thanksgiving!!!! So I thought id celebrate and boy did I!!! Haha....I hadn't had an ounce of refined sugar in a month and a half....I think I deserved a one day break! :) It was great...but today is back to my eating plan. My fiance' and I made a deal.....he was going to promise to be home for Christmas...and I was going to promise to lose 10 more lbs before then. (he doesnt care about my weight at all, but its something i can work at while he's gone)
I just hope Christmas doesnt ruin my plan like Thanksgiving does! Oh well......i'm back on track today and going strong once more :) And now, I have a promise to keep! :)Good luck on all your holiday temptations!

your right daisy... you DID deserve it!:) i didnt do too badly at all. turkey is low fat and i had ff gravy and i made stuffing lowfat by subbing the butter wh butter spray&the same wh the spuds. i hate pie so dessert was two kisses and diet cocoa.
however, it looks like today, tomm,&mon will make up for thur bc we are eating out tonight&tomm& pizza on mon for moms bday.(i like to splurge when i eat out)
