This long weekend is going to be a wonderful test for self control. We have Thanksgiving dinners to attend on Sunday and Monday and it is my brother's birthday on Saturday!

My plan is to have one small plate of the food I want (with tons of veg and no seconds), to only have a tiny bit of dessert if it's something I really like (luckily I am not a big fan of pumpkin pie), and to have one alcoholic beverage at each dinner (if that).

Thank goodness my 8k is on Sunday because I think it will motivate me to stay focused.

Happy Thanksgiving long weekend to all my fellow Canadians.

Rosa, that's a lot of celebrations! Good for you for planning ahead! I thought your race was last weekend, but I see it's this Sunday so good luck and Happy Thanksgiving

You Canadians are so smart to have your Thanksgiving now ... it's always so cold for American Thanksgiving!

Recovering from two vacations, nearly back to back. Now, back to basics and veggies, fruit & exercise!!! Weather is finally starting to cool off which helps to feel like exercising. Here's to a great week!

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Canadians! Stuffing is my Kryptonite so let's see how this goes

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadian chicks!

Well, I thought my diet tweak was working. It's been 3 weeks since my last weight blip up, and sure as s**t, I'm up again this week. Dammit, I thought I had figured this out. It's going to take til next summer to get to goal at this rate.

Well, I am down 1 lb. but considering I seem to be gaining and then losing the same few pounds every week I am not making much progress. So, I think it's time to switch things up. Years ago I had a lot of success using a program called, The Leanness Lifestyle, so I am going to go back to following it.
Last night, my family and I had our Thanksgiving dinner as I have to work the next 4 evenings. It wasn't a huge feast and I made some healthy dishes so I could stay on plan.
I am going to do a workout before I go into work as I have been slacking off with exercising lately.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Wow ... I lost all the weight I gained while away.

To that I say, kaloo kalay.

Apparently I'm a Sunday night poet!
