What are you eating today folks?

Well, we have one holiday down and one before us. How did everyone do over thanksgiving? I personally think Thanksgiving is harder than Christmas. Here is what I am eating today. B-protein shake and vitamins L-probably a beef stix and peice of cheese D-who knows what? Any ideas? I have felt like such a slacker lately with this board since going back to work. We really need one another. Brenda

Well Brenda .. it's you and me again ! LOL Here goes ! B- Nectar L - Turkey 1 ounce ( Can not do any more - was the last for me for a while ) Snack - Nuts Nectar D-Salad w/ 2 ounces of Chicken - Sesame Dressing On the Side . Before I go to bed .. I will do one more Nectar .. and maybe a Blueberry Yogurt ... Thanksgiving was ok ... I will say being a southerner.. and all the great food .. I enjoyed it .. I felt like for once in my life ..

I had to hit the store for last minute items on Thanksgiving morning. So, I hit the gym and then hit the store. I was on the treadmill and did a quick 2 1/2 miles in 30 minute**** the store and was home before noon. I stayed out of the kitchen unless I was asked to help. I ate everything I wanted. Very small amounts mind you. I didn't want some things on the menu that just didn't look good to me. I took too much on my plate, mostly to look 'normal' but didn't finish anything. My personal "I'm full" trigger still works - I sneeze. I have been very aware of it and try very hard not to get to the point I sneeze. But T-Day I did. I knew I had to stop eating then and there. As a side note, my dog likes me being out of the clean plate club. One thing I did notice was how much everyone ate. I was the same way last year and every year before that. I was shocked. When the meal was over I was full of energy and ready for fun - everyone else needed a nap. I did the dishes and clean up the kitchen. Scored major points for that! But I had energy to burn and that was fun. B - Protein Shake & vitamins L - Slice of Turkey on half pita w/ roasted red pepers D - 2 Slide Turkey, 4 Brussel Sprouts, 1 Tbsp of Mashed Potatos S - Beef stick pieces and mustard. Thanksgiving was awesome!!!! I am really hoping for a Christmas just as good. Maybe even a White Christmas as we are heading to Chicago.
