Default be honest: how many people really exercised on turkey day?
Hey guys--

I was just watching a CNN special on America's obesity problem and a thought occurred to me... how many people on 3fatchicks.com actually exercised today on Turkey Day?

Lightbulb I didn't need to I did every day before that
I didn't need to! I took the day off on purpose. I have exercised every day up to this without fail since mid September. I wanted to focus on getting the meal ready for my DH and I, cleaning our home and then sitting down afterwards and watching some good classic movies and playing board games.

I felt very peaceful about all of it today. We had one meal. I ate until I was full but not stuffed. I did two loads of dishes in the dishwasher and one by hand. I had a couple of cold turkey sandwiches later in the night and that was it.

It doesn't have to be such a struggle if you don't make it one.

I did a really nice 3-mile trail run with my brother, even though we really didn't have time. It was fantastic, even though it was raining a little and the trail was muddy.

My real Thanksgiving is tomorrow - that's when we're celebrating - but I plan to get up and run 8 miles in the morning if I can. Woohoo!!

Now if I could only stop EATING so much while I'm at my mom's...

I did! I'm so proud of myself for doing it, too. I started talking myself out of it, but then I told myself if I didn't, I couldn't keep my spa appointment when I go on vacation next month. Apparently threats work! But, I was very glad I did.
