Bad for Thanksgiving

We aren't doing much since my dad is still in the hospital so I will probably just go a bit overboard on dinner and maybe have a Lemon Drop wtih dinner. I am so picky I usually only eat the turkey, mashed potatoes and bread anyway. It's the snacking during the day that kills me but I doubt the hospital will have munchies 
I do have free day with BFL and in a "normal year" use it as my free day.

Colleen-sorry to hear about your dad. That sounds tough.
I have two dinners to go to. First to my mom's at noon and then to my inlaws at 5.
My mom is already getting excited and telling me about the menu and desserts and my inlaws are gourmet cooks and the spread is absolutely unbelievable. It is so hard because I want to taste everything at my parents house because my mom worked so hard (we also chip in and make stuff too), and then I have to go to the inlaws and eat again. I think my portions are going to be really small, one sliver of pie at each dinner and lots of exercise and clean eating until Christmas (I hope!!)

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Colleen.
I decided last year that for Thanksgiving and Christmas I was going to eat anything I wanted and not look back. It worked well, but it was really hard the day after, because I still wanted all that stuff. I do my toughest workout on Thanksgiving. Christmas I take off--too busy, and I don't want to miss anything with my kids and family.
This year, I'm doing calorie staggering. So I already scheduled my days so that Christmas and Thanksgiving will be on my highest calorie day. But unlike my other high calorie days, I'm not going to keep track. It's my present to me.
I think giving yourself permission to indulge on one day prevents going too far overboard and "going off the wagon" for several days.

Its for sure going to be a big chowdown for me that day. I love all of the foods that are at a Traditional Thanksgiving meal!
I do plan on cranking up my exercise over the holiday..Imax on Thursday and a really long run on Friday morning. Its amazing how good the run is after eating all of the food the day before.. lots and lots of stored fuel!
Take care, Lynn M.
