Good morning, gang! for all the birthday wishes yesterday! I made it through my birthday 100% on plan, knowing that I'll want to indulge a bit in Thanksgiving later this week. My special birthday present from DH was - ta dum! - new floor mats for my car. Does that make me feel old or what? Sigh - I guess the days of lingerie, flowers, and sparkly stuff are gone.
It was kind of you all to pretend that I don't look my age, though I have to say - if there's a Fountain of Youth for women in this world, it's got to be weightlifting. With that in mind, I went to the gym yesterday bound and determined to do SOMETHING outrageous to commemorate the occasion - like Mel pulling a truck across the parking lot - but came up blank. So I just did a chest workout with a lot of supersets. Which darn near killed me.
Today's going to be a gigantic grocery shopping, then cooking starts tomorrow and the relatives arrive on Wednesday. Safe journey to all of you who are traveling this week! And remember what I always tell myself - Thanksgiving's just one meal. Even if we indulge at Thanksgiving dinner, it doesn't mean that the whole four-day weekend has to be a bust.
