Day 11 - Thanksgiving Day

Though my lifelong habit has been to not eat a morsel before Thanksgiving Dinner so I will be hungry enough to eat the whole turkey, I told myself I would be better off if I would eat something before our 2:00 feast. A new way of thinking. So, I did have 1/2 of a Myoplex bar and then later, some almonds and grapes.

Then, I pigged out on my favorite things for Thanksgiving Dinner. The only rule I had was only to get my most favorite things on my plate, instead of piling everything on there.

So, I had

Mashed Potatoes (up there with Cheese and Pepsi on my list of favorite foods)
Ham/Turkey
Salad with Bleu Cheese, Cranberries and Raspberry Vinergarette Dressing
Corn with Cream Cheese

and it was. so. good.

I passed up the bread, beans, gravy, and stuffing. No skin off my potato!

I loved my Thanksgiving Dinner, complete with a fizzing Pepsi.

This day was fabulous - if you don't know, BFL lets you embrace holidays as freedays! I am not a total loser! And I do plan to NOT have a free day this Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 7 - What Would YOU Eat on Free Day?

I couldn't bring myself to pig out.

But for breakfast, I did have oatmeal with honey and brown sugar instead of plain.
I also went a little crazy and had two boiled eggs with the yolks. Love the yolks.
Then I had a strawberry protein shake for lunch, which I LOVED!
And for the big finale tonight, TIN STAR!!!!
Chips and salsa, salsa and chips and a big, wide bowl of my favorite tortilla soup with avocados and cheese sprinkled on top. YUUUUUMMMMMMMMM!
Oh, and I forgot to mention, a handful of Kami's plain M&M's.

But now I feel bloated. I'm sure I ate my weight in salt today. And more sugar than I've eaten all week! Was it worth it? Well, I'll make that call tomorrow.

One thing I cannot deny, I can get back in my "big" pants comfortably now, without lapping over the side too badly. Thank God for that.

I am making a change, folks. Slowly, but surely.
