Our First Major Holiday!!!!

OMGSH - we're done with our first major holiday (involving an all you can eat buffet of food) Thanksgiving!!!!!! I did very well today. Didn't graze at all. I just ate my meals. B - sf hot choc. with vanilla protein Thanksgiving Dinner - Turkey, green bean caserole, two bites of cheesy potatoes, and a very small slice of sf pumpkin pie S - Detour Bar D - some more turkey and green bean caserole (no more potatoes or pie) S - cottage cheese and applesauce Got in all my vitamins and about 45 oz of water. All in all, not a bad day!! I saw my brother in law for the first time since surgery... he just kind of stared at me, then said, "you're looking good". hee hee Hope you all had a good day too. Laurie

My day went pretty well too, after the minor meltdown I had yesterday morning over a cheesecake I was baking... B: Low-Carb Yogurt L: (Thanksgiving Dinner) Turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, a bite of brocolli rice S: a few raw veggies, a tiny piece of sf cheesecake D: We broke out the leftovers, I snacked on some turkey and some cheese and a couple of crackers All in all, we had a lot of fun. Played some poker, made 5 bucks (it's nickle/dime ante poker) and had a good time.

Take all compliments you can get, Laurie! Sometimes a simple statement from someone who wouldn't ordinarily comment on such things means a heck of a lot! As for me: B: Protein shake (didn't have time for breakfast too since we were heading out for lunch) L: Caesar salad. Broiled seafood platter - scallops, shrimp, salmon, a bite or two of a crab cake and some green beans. S: Protein shake S2: 1 oz peanuts and a slice of cheddar cheese D: Cheeseburger w/ sauteed shrooms, carmelized onions, peppered bacon and cheddar S: Stallone protein pudding with cool whip light.

I did well too! First Thanksgiving ever that I didn't pig out. I stuck to protein, water and I did have a about a Tbs each of peach cobbler (without the crust), cherry cobbler, a sliver of pumpkin pie. AND I DIDN'T GRAZE AT ALL! YAY! I didn't gain any weight over the first holiday. Now...to get through Christmas and New Years!
