Excellent advice! I already knew my plan on Thanksgiving Day: make a sampler plate of itty, bitty portions for everything you want. So I had 2-4 bites of the stuff I wanted; I only had 4 bites of dressing with giblet gravy. To top it off, I went walking around the neighborhood after eating. I had a few bites of Red Velvet Cake and two bites of my aunt's Upside Down German Chocolate Cake.
I worked out on Thanksgiving Day, y'all! I was in the gym 5 days last week
End result: I lost 3 pounds on Thanksgiving Week!
Motivated doesn't begin to describe how I feel.
PS Congrats, BabyBlue!!! I can't wait to be in Onederland.
