Hey, thanks for starting this weekly chat!
This week is gonna be sort of crazy for me, just like almost everyone else.
I use the gyms on campus, normally right after work... and tomorrow they all close early, so I'll have to work out at home. Oh, except that my dad is coming down some time in the evening, so I'm not even sure that will work. Blah.
Thursday I'm going to my dad's family's thanksgiving celebration, but my husband has to work and we only have one vehicle, so I'm riding there (2 hours away) with my dad and his wife. This means leaving early in the morning because my dad wants to hunt nearby. I won't be able to exercise (I guess I could go for a walk and hope I don't get lost). I plan on overeating
because out of my 2 or 3 Thanksgivings and 3 or 4 Christmases every year, this one is my FAVORITE in terms of food. I'm gonna have white wine and shrimp dip with crackers and Jell-o salads and cranberry sauce and cranberry bread and pumpkin pie and not feel guilty about any of it! (I guess I'll also have turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and whatnot. But "real food" bores me. I want fruit and snacks and desserts.
)
Friday I'm taking the day off from work (woohoo!!) and some time in the afternoon or evening we're headed up to our hometown (2.5 hours away). Saturday my husband is playing in a flag football game at 9am, then there's a birthday party for a 1-year-old
with lunch, then MIL's Thanksgiving dinner. So, lots of food, but I'll do my best. MIL's cooking doesn't really tempt me, and I might bring a vegetable dish because she only makes veggies that are mushy and covered in sauce or butter. We're driving home that night, so probably no time to exercise, unless I can fit in a run or something between the two parties.
Luckily, on Sunday, life gets back to normal. I can't wait!
