Ok, I could offer you tons of awesome Thanksgiving advice. But I won't fool myself...or should I say full myself? eh eh? I mean, don't get me wrong I've read a lot of great tips lately...but they are the type of tips that sound awesome in writing but when it comes to the nitty gritty...as in, when I'm face to face with an all-the-weight-you've-lost sized turkey and some of that you're-seriously-gonna-need-a-power-nap-after-that stuffing and who can forget the are-you-seriously-trying-to-pass-those-for-veggies green bean casserole or the...well, I lost my point. So anyways, here are my awesome Thanksgiving tips:
1- GIVE AWAY LEFTOVERS! Seriously, if you are fond of those day after turkey gravy cranberry stuffing sandwiches (like me) then leftovers are not you're friend. You don't want to make a 1 day treat last you the whole week. Just find the first homeless person you see and when he asks you for some money to eat just say "TODAY IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!" and give him the eight ziplock bags of food. Then you can watch him glare at you cause everyone knows you can't exchange sweet potatoes for crack.
2- RELAX! Contrary to what we may believe, guilt does not burn calories. Most of us will overeat tomorrow. That is a fact. But we can't kill ourselves over it. I mean, working out a little bit extra the day after is fine but just don't overdo it. Take it easy and enjoy the food. Cause if you're gonna eat a whole bunch of food and instead of enjoying it you're just cringing over the possible pounds you may gain, then its not even worth it.
So, thats it! Those are my two main rules for Thanksgiving. Yea I know...I'm not very strict. Oh wells.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Definitely agree with number 2. But I have to have at least 1 lamb, potato, and gravy sandwich :D
LOL, guilt dooes not burn calories. True enough! We need to forgive ourselves and continue on track after indulging.
We ate over at the in-laws and the leftovers cmae home with us. Luckily, I haven't touched any and what has been eaten by the end of tonight is going in the trash. :)
