Hi LoriJenny,
Glad to hear that you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family.
I did fine on TG, because I didn't go anywhere. But on Sun. & Mon, I was stewarding at an obedience trial (dog show). It was a big show & part of working it was getting fed. Well, I showed up on Sunday, at 730 & did not get home until after 6 pm. I ate my normal breakfast of oatmeal, cherries, & I was not starving at lunch. Unfortunately you could not bring food into the building so I had no choice but figured there might be a little bit of friendly food. I was wrong, but it wasn't horrible. It came from Papapavlos restaurant. So I did the best I could & when I got home, ate the last of my Split Pea Soup. Monday was the same, they had a great Lentil soup, I do not think that it had oil in it or at least not much. It was delicious but because it was served, I could only get a small bowl. However, I stuck to a sandwich, which amounted to bread since I took the meat out & salad, which was already dressed, but again, not an oily dressing or tons of it on the salad which was nice. I did have a few small homemade treats, but that's ok. I was not out of control which I like. I am sure it will reflect on the scale on Sat. though, but that is the way it is. I knew it was coming, knew I could not take food into the building where I would be stewarding & the club escorts you to the building where the food is so there you go.
You know what, I was thinking, when I was a girl & when my daughter was young, we had TG & Christmas traditions. TG was not that big a deal but Christmas always was. We had fun baking Christmas cookies, things like that. I hope that she is going to pass that on to her daughters & not just forsake them because they are not McD. friendly. I mean she can do some stuff McD friendly, but you know most of the stuff for Christmas is not going to be McD friendly. But "we" dont have to eat it & we dont have to have it around during the whole holiday season.
Have a great day!!
