How is everyone doing?

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I always have fun with my kids, husband, and extended family (tasty food doesn't hurt either!).

I overate a bit, but who cares? It was one meal, and I went maybe 1500 calories over my target intake of around 1400. Big deal, one meal won’t make me gain 50 pounds, or even 5. Heck, based on the deficit I was running this week, I probably won’t gain .5! I was up from 208 to 209, which is likely just food sitting in my digestive system. No damage done from one yummy meal, and I'm right back to it.

It’s all about perspective. Food wasn’t my focus, and it still isn’t. I had fun with people I love and food was a joyous part of it. Now we’re back to normal, life marches on. We have a potluck at the church tonight, in celebration of ten years of service by our pastor, and I will approach that the same as I approach all other eating events - write it down, eat mostly healthy choices, don't stuff myself to the gills. Simple and effective, with plenty of flexibility and fun.

How did you do on Thanksgiving? Any particular struggle or victory?

I did well this Thanksgiving too. As you know I did the little run, made a gigantic turkey and then went to bed. THEN, this morning got up at 4:00 a.m. to fight the crowds like a crazy person! But hubby and I enjoyed the alone time even if it was in the middle of the night.

Congratulations on your excellent perspective towards the holiday food and the importance of family and friends!
