Thanksgiving

I am very proud of myself. I did really well on Thanksgiving...this countries biggest excuse to gorge out/pig out. I ate mostly turkey, quarter cup size of mashed potatoes and a tiny bit of gravy on it. I had a tiny sliver of pumpkin pie.

I did eat two meals prior to T-day dinner (at 1PM), but none after, so I could have done better in that respect. As for exercise, it was cardio only day on my BFFM plan and I did an hour of Turbo Kick (cardio kick box) and walked pushing a stroller for three sets of 15 minutes each, one time pushing 21 lbs of a 9 month old and twice pushing my 32 lb 3.5 year old and his 9 month old brother. That was a workout! All three walks showed up on my activities for yesterday on body bugg and Turbo clocked in at 10.5 calories a minute for burn.

Today was cardio & strength day. So, at 11, after the kids went down for their naps, I went to our local 24Fitness and did my strength training. Wow, it was packed! All kinds of people on the exercise punishment pony. All kinds of muscleheads too. I am used to the gym that is close to work and it's much smaller and easier to find everything. Our local 24 is a supersport and it's hard to find everything. I even had to ask another exerciser where the barbells were. And so many were missing and misplaced (the heavier ones were higher and nothing was in order like I am accustomed to). I have yet to do my 30 mins of cardio today.

Did I say that I lost 0.2 lbs yesterday according to my Tanita? Wahoo, weight loss on Turkey day! On the downside, I gained about 6 lbs since the last post I posted my weight being stuck at 227.2. I hit 233.6 last Saturday and am now 231.0. My usual weigh day is Saturday. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Getting ready to eat some yummy chicken, wild rice & aspargus for dinner.
