Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm trying to be healthy today...portion control, portion control is key.

And that is what I told Bob Harper when he asked his Facebook followers to have a Sugar Free Thanksgiving, majority of us, said no. It's one day a year we get to goof off. So he decided to let us off the hook for Thanksgiving. He loves us. Works for me, I love trainers who care enough to understand.

I did tell Bob I am going to have Portion Control, and limit the sweets. I promised him that.
I already have it in my head thanksgiving dinner is at 2pm. When I get home if I'm hungry I will eat a salad. That is good enough. It works for me.

Planning Thanksgiving around my exercising....

I was just thinking of all the things I had to do. I still need to go jogging today, and I have a ton of things to do for the Thanksgiving season. Blah!

What to do, what to do?

I don't want to make the pies untill tomorrow, but I can make the crusts tonight. I can make the sweet potato mixee up tonight, add the Marshmallows tomorrow, and then bake. I can make the whole wheat roll mix it tonight, then bake the rolls tomorrow.


I 've got to plan around my exercising. If I go running before I start baking. I will be more relaxed. I hope, at least I know I can rest easy knowing I did the right thing.

I have noticed that exercise doesn't just benefit me in losing weight, but my back spazes and exercising helps stop that too, it reduces my stress.

Works for me!

I hope you will take the time to plan your Thanksgiving Holiday around your exercising. : )

I want to have a Mini Turkey Trot...

I bet you are saying, why only a Mini Turkey Trot? Well I figure most people will need to get ready for their Thanksgiving and start cooking their Turkey. Or whatever they are doing, me I going to in laws for Thanksgiving. I don't have to do much except make 3 pies, sweet potato casserole, and whole wheat rolls! I think Mother In Law realized that my Thanksgiving isn't exactly the same as theirs. They have Glazed Carrots, or Sweet Potatoes with no Marshmallows.

I know! This is suppose to be a healthy blog. But no matter how Healthy I get, I will always have Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows on them at Thanksgiving. Love them!!! : ) My mother in law said go ahead and make a side dish of something I like at Thanksgiving, YAY!


OH! Hopefully this Mini Turkey Trot, will help me goof off for the entire day with less guilt. LOL. I made it 1.75 mile walk/run. It's last minute so far no one has replied to my invites on my Personal Facebook page. My sister is willing to do it with me. I figure 1.75miles is great because it could be completed in 30 minutes, people can leave and go work on their Thanksgiving Feast.

Its funny, I was thinking about this a month ago, yet still I was late giving out invites to it. OOOPS! Oh well. The reason I wanted to do this other than being healthy forever. The Turkey Trot I wanted to go to. I couldn't afford the registration fees for my family, so why not create one myself? It works, next year I will either plan ahead, or join a real Turkey Trot.

Are you willing to start up a Turkey Trot? Even if its by yourself. It is worth doing, it will keep your goal in your head the whole day to become healthier. I hope it does for me, or a least it should. I know one thing I going to focus on is portion control.

Yeepppp Yeep Turkey Trot. For some reason I just want to keep talking about the food I will be making. Like Whole Wheat Rolls. My father in law hates Whole Wheat anything. It's like the thought of being Healthy kills him. I don't understand it. I want Whole Wheat rolls for Thanksgiving, I'm going to get them, even if I eat them by myself. LOL.


It's all good!


Turkey Trot, Turkey Trot! Must focus on that Turkey Trot!
