OK, so, I didn't "conquer" Thanksgiving as I had planned...but at least I didn't feel as ill as I had years previous. I also managed to make the WW Pumpkin Pie from the weekly...and it was SO worth it.
The only thing I really went overboard on was something that we'd never had on Thanksgiving before: Buffalo Chicken dip. My nemesis. I ate it on a TON of celery.
On the upside, I definitely got in all of my GHGs for Thanksgiving. I also ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill in the morning. I didn't even drink any points, stayed away from the booze this year - I guess it was good that I was going Black Friday shopping!!!
I also made skinnytaste's Pumpkin Butter yesterday - so I'm going to put it in a delicious pumpkin smoothie later. (After my post-Black Friday nap).
I am going to recover from Thanksgiving by focusing on GHGs today, and running at the gym tomorrow. I hope to make it to the gym today, but that depends heavily on whether I choose to go into work (I'm not scheduled, but as a Catholic School teacher, I can always use extra money - I work at Victoria's Secret for my cousin as a side job now - love that discount!!)...There's always my WiiFit option, too.
Weighing in Sunday @ 11. I will probably be up, but am anxious for the new plan and hope that it will be just the boost that I need!

Damn you, TOM!
Just ate 1.5 donuts that my brother brought in from Dunkin Donuts. AND the pumpkin coffee he bought me, for a grand total of 12 points.
I already used all of my WPA yesterday. Going to try to earn 1-2 more AP tonight on my Wii, but already earned 3 today..
Either way, right now, I am 9 pts ITR, made at myself, and slightly tummy-achy.
Bah.

Up 1....
Up 1 pound this week, but in fairness, I'm having...uhhh...going problems and it's been 3 days. I know I've been eating very carb heavy and not enough protein/fruit, but TOM's about to be here and I'm dying for starchy, carby, comfort foods. It was also my dad's birthday, and I was overdid it on the Ravioli, Garlic Bread, and birthday cake on Wednesday night. At least I can say that I enjoyed myself.
On the upside, the damage could have ALWAYS been worse!
I just discovered Skinnytaste this week. I made Pasta Fagioli, and it was excellent! My non-WW dad didn't even know that it was a WW recipe. I also made a "Enchilada Pie" in my slow cooker - that I made substitutions with and it became a WW recipe. Either way, it was delicious and I enjoyed both. Now, I just really need to start taking pictures of all of these things that I'm making - I love Emily's blog, and while I am not a photographer like her, I think it's important to slow down and enjoy the PROCESS of cooking... (Which I love anyway, but how NEAT is it to chronicle our lives in pictures, living in this digital age???)
This week: Thanksgiving. That's the biggest hurtle. I'm going to try to get in some extra APs, save as many WPA as possible, and then eat ONE plate of food.
My plan:
27 Points:
Breakfast (NECESSARY for Thanksgiving!):
Omelete (how the HECK do you spell that???):
3 egg whites
1 slice regular American cheese
tomato
mushroom
cooked in 1 tsp evoo
coffee w 2 tbs Half and Half, splenda
POINTS remaining: 22
Appetizer:
1/2 stuffed artichoke
4 stuffed mushrooms
POINTS remaining: 12
Dinner:
4 oz turkey breast
1/2 c cranberry sauce
1/2 c mashed potatoes, with salt & pepper
POINTS remaining 0:
4 oz white wine
1/8 slice WW Recipe Pumpkin Pie w Graham-Cracker Crust (from last week's weekly)
POINTS: -7...which is roughly 3 trips to the gym....
As long as I REALLY stick to this plan (I am going to write it down and put it in my purse) I should have a very successful OP Thanksgiving.
What are YOUR plans?? What are YOUR must-haves??

Current Weight: 192.4
Was up .4 this week, but I'm OK with that - I ran a lot, didn't eat to well, and definitely partied a little.
I'm feeling pretty good about what I can be capable of this week. I'm going to work hard on my runs, work hard on myself, and hopefully hit a nice loss when I WI on Saturday...
looking forward, not behind!

Current Weight: 192
Ok, so I lost 3 lbs this week @ WI. This is good, but since I was UP, I'm back to where I was in October...but, at least, I am starting to feel like I can DO it again.
Currently, with Emily as my inspiration, I am making a 101 in 1,001 list. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to actually come up with 101 things I want to do in the next 2.75 years! This is crazy! When I finish the list, I plan to type it, and post it here in my blog....
Went to a fantastic belated Halloween party last night. Drank all of my WPA, so I will be entering the week with none, but I'm OK with this. Looking forward to my day off for Vet's day on Thursday so I can WI and RELAX!!!
