Wade Waters Vs. Stay on the Beach?
| Thu, 11-20-2003 - 8:29am |
I thought it would be interesting to see who was going to wade the waters of the beach or stay on the beach for Thanksgiving.
I will be, if I am lucky, participating in a half marathon on Thanksgiving morning. I was sick this week, but I am telling you guys, ZICAM works wonders. Anyhow, I will be wading off the beach this Thanksgiving. My mom is an awesome cook, and I want all the goodies. I'll do it within reason though. You guys have read my posts and know I believe in giving a little now and again if you are ready.
Anyhow, just curious... any thoughts on wading or beaching?

I am going to stay on the beach for Thanksgiving. I asked my kids the things they couldn't live without for the big dinner and I am going to end up making everything I always have except for the candied sweet potatoes. Since I plan on being on my fourth week at P1 next week, looks like I will be confining myself to turkey, steamed brocolli and salad. :( I thought of making the October Pumpkin Treat for myself as a bit of a splurge. Ok...maybe a bite of stuffing (my fave!).
Ria...I totally agree about Zicam. I have spread the word how great that is to everyone I see sniffle or cough since last winter. The company really ought to be paying me to be their spokesperson!!! :)
Good luck all!!

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

Actually, I am going back home tomorrow and am on "vacation" for 9 days. Although Im not going to be strict, I dont think im going to be that bad either. Why? Because Im not really craving anything. lol I think I have become used to not having certain things. I will, however, be going out alot with friends, family etc. I may be on the beach as far as food, but I'll be surfing with some beverages..LOL But if I do indulge in some things I already know the serving size is going to be nothing like I used to have, if any at all.
Im not worried about it to be honest.. why make myself nuts. Im going to be walking, riding my bike on the boardwalk, etc. As long as my pants dont get to tight, I think i'll be fine!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

I'm also working out Thanksgiving morning while watching the parade - not a race, but my usual 3 to 4 miles on the treadmill/weights/abs/stretching routine, to remind myself NOT to undo all my hard work in one sitting.
My favorite illegal will be cornbread stuffing. OH MY... I love that stuff! YUM!!!!!
This plan is not intended to be a ball and chain nor is it intended to be overly restrictive. At least that's the way I approach it.
You already have the knowledge to know which carbs to eat in moderation and those on which you can load up. However, if you want to endulge at Thanksgiving, I see no harm as long as you:
(A) Return to Phase I of the plan for few days to get yourself back on track, or
(B) Take the time to do some extra exercise that afternoon to burn off the extra glucose in your bloodstream.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL NOT the plan!
