I have to admit I think that I may be going soft from being sick for as long as I have been. Man- when I get hit with something, it really takes me out for a LONG time. Having our anniversary, my 27th birthday, and NOW Thanksgiving I think my body is going to just explode in revulsion.
So I think I'm going to make a challenge for myself and all of you to see if we can not GAIN 5 pounds this weekend!
I challenge all of us to eat through out the day* of Thanksgiving. I challenge all of us to have normal portion sizes with all the yummy fatty goodness. I also challenge... wait for it... for all of us to have only ONE desert.
YUP! I went there! ;) Only one small slice of pie y'all. Do you think you can do it? Well, I'm going to try really hard to because I've had enough chocolate in these last two weeks to feed an army battalion. UGH. Talk about a gross feeling.
So I leave you to your holiday bliss feeling a little scared. But I know we can all do it! It's for our health after all. And to make myself feel a little better about the last two weeks I'm going to go work out with my huge bouncy ball right now.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
*Eating through out the day will help keep your metabolism up. If you don't eat all day then pig out for the big meal your body has a bigger chance of wanting to hold on to all the extra fat. Not only that, what usually happens when we eat too much? We go to sleep. Lets make this year a little different from the rest of them!

Challenge Accepted! :)
Weight Watchers this week we listed the things that have worked in the past and the things that have not worked in the past Thanksgiving. There's a lot of learning in that. One thing that was a definite: Do not skip breakfast!!!!! And do enjoy every bite you take. Plan ahead, eat slow, and enjoy it.
But most of all, remember what this day is all about. It isn't the food, it's the blessings. I was thinking this morning that I am so blessed to even have a weight problem. That means I have access to an abundant supply of food. I never HAVE to go hungry. Wow. But I can choose to keep my eating sensible today (not deprived) and choose to enjoy every aspect of this Holiday - mostly that of being with loved ones.
Have a great Thanksgiving and DO ENJOY that piece of pie!
So....how'd ya do?? Too bad I'm reading this AFTER turkey day, because I did NOT take that challenge. I did, however, snack during the day. And I didn't eat large portions. But throughout the weekend I ate too much pie, birthday cake, and sugar. BLAH!!! I fail. :( Oh well, this is a new week, and I am going to kick its butt!! Love you!
