Thanksgiving.. ahhhh..
This year’s Thanksgiving was different than Thanksgiving’s of past for us… We didn’t have all of our family with us… not that we usually do. Our families don’t get along very well, and my grandparents are no longer with us, sooooo a true family Thanksgiving usually involves multiple meals, and split time… ah but such is life. I’m sure many of you can relate.
Anyhow… That’s not what this post is about.. it’s about the food, the friends, and the … will power??? HAHAHA Gotcha didn’t I?
Yes, for me it was a little about will power. If you haven’t heard already, I locked myself into another fitness challenge with EA SPORTS Active… I thought it would be a great way to keep myself from gaining a bunch of weight this holiday season… and hopefully, more than anything else, lose more weight. I did great on the first 30 day challenge… and this one is 6 weeks… 6 sweat pouring, agonizing.. but fun… long weeks! Yes. That included Thanksgiving and goes on through Christmas and of course New Year’s Eve… At least that will be the last workout… and I can eat some of my own birthday cake! Ahh.. and it better be chocolate too!
Yeah.. back to the original topic.. So Thanksgiving.. usually a time for gorging on turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and whatever other yummy foods that can be put on a platter in front of me.. Not this year!!! This year, I was a very good girl.. I only had one small plate… nothing crazy, and no dessert. No idea why, but I felt like willpower had actually taken over… Nice… Don’t get me wrong. The food was delicious, and I would’ve loved to eat more. Something inside my head just said… NO when it came to seconds. Thank goodness..
Now… I’m praying that this is just the beginning of another 6 weeks of weight loss, and healthy choices…
