So what did I have? Turkey of course along with a serving of Tru Roots organic bean trio (found at Costco) and of course broccoli! I did do some extra cardio so I could have a pumpkin spice gluten free cookie (and yes I enjoyed every bite of it!) The funny thing was that I still felt like I was in a food coma afterwards - must have been from watching everyone else pile up their plate!
I woke up Friday morning at my usual time to jump on the treadmill only to witness the ultimate food coma in action . . .I headed down to the basement with both dogs running after me chasing each other and making lots of noise. I get downstairs and there is my significant other sound asleep on the couch. Of course I still flip on the light right above his head - he was warned that I would be up at my usual weekday time to do cardio whether or not he had passed out on the couch in the man cave watching TV or not! As soon as I turned on the treadmill and hopped on I expected him to grumble and head upstairs to continue sleeping. He barely even moved! I should have known he went for round 3 of turkey, etc. after I went to bed since there was empty Tupperware in the sink and dessert crumbs on the counter.
Seeing that made me feel even better about not stuffing myself and needing to get out my fat girl pants! After watching several people sloth around at work and seeing the endless amounts of cardio people were doing at the gym in hopes of making up for the previous days mountain of food, I knew that I made a VERY good decision about my food choices on Thanksgiving and I don't feel like I missed out on anything. I still enjoyed quality time with family which is more important than a giant piece of pie and a mountain of mashed potatoes.
Now if I can control my food intake on tonight's cheat meal . . . . . .
