I set a goal going into the 15k Trot of 1:33, and by my watch I finished at 1:33:16. Not bad considering I spent about a minute and a half de-tangling myself from a sticker bush and finding a nice big oak tree to pee behind around mile three! I don't know what this thing is with having to go during races, but I am so over it. Not cool, bladder. It was funny the first time but we're not doing that again. Please make a note of it.
Thank you.
Anyway, Thanksgiving was a low-key affair for me. As you know, I am not a big fan of the eating holidays; they're just mine fields for overdoing it in the name of sentimentality. So I kept all of my Turkey Tips in mind and made it a really healthy day: a nice long run and lots of clean eats including a big Thanksgiving salad full of spinach, turkey, unsweetened dried cranberries, and toasted walnuts. I planned on making my healthy pumpkin pie, but decided to skip it. My husband doesn't really care for pie, I could live without it, and I didn't want a whole pie sitting around, so I considered it a sign from the Turkey Gods that I just was not meant to gain a pound this Thanksgiving. Thank you, Turkey Gods! I was rewarded with a nice calorie deficit this morning according to my GoWear Fit. A deficit of 29 calories, but hey I am so counting that as a victory. Take THAT Thanksgiving!
And now Christmas is rushing towards us like a steam engine. That means it's time to kick things into high gear! Over the next month, I'll be here with tips, workouts, recipes, and more to help make your holiday a healthy one. Starting off - my Black Friday workout at Boot Camps to Go.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Now wake up! Naptime is over!
The holidays are here!

I don't think I did TOOOOOO bad. I did get up and run four miles that morning (taper!!!), and although my plate was loaded down, it was mostly with good ol' southern fare such as turnip greens, white beans, etc. I did sweet potatoes, but instead of doing them in the form of a fattening casserole, I simply halved them and baked them and sprinkled them with a little cinnamon. Soooooooooo yummy.
But there was pie involved. Coconut AND chocolate.
Not a total victory, but not a total loss either.
Pam, I think it sounds like you did perfect!
