What are you thankful for?

Today is our family’s traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. We have always had our meal the night before Thanksgiving for some reason. It’s worked out well being married because now we get to be with both sides of the family every year and keep everyone happy. The downside is that there are two huge meals 2 days in a row and tons of leftovers.

My strategy for tonight is to make sure I have had enough to eat during the day so I don’t show up starving. The plan is cereal & banana for breakfast and salad for lunch.

Of course I am going to have all my favorites tonight (yams, stuffing, pie) but I’m going to do it in moderation; A tiny bit of everything… instead of a lot of everything and seconds like I’ve done in past years.

Today was also WI day for me. I was down 2.5 from last week! That probably means I was holding some water weight or something last week. It is 1/2 lb below two weeks ago putting me at an all time low and making my weight loss over the past two months at about 1 lb per month. Better than a gain per month I suppose.
