Yes it's Thanksgiving and I'm really full. I went for a bike ride in the early morning but it wasn't going to offset the pigging out that was on the horizon. Thanksgiving is always an interesting dilemma. I fully intend to not limit myself but at the same time have the guilty voice in the back of my head wondering what the hell I'm doing. Ah well I will not make a scene. I will enjoy every bite of whatever food passes over my tongue.
Breakfast: I figured I should eat a good breakfast so that maybe I'd be less inclined to over eat later. HA. Anyway it was a two egg frittata with spinach, tomato, and other good stuff. 20oz of cold water.
The rest of the day was a feast of many different foods including turkey, lamb, stuffing (oyster and sausage together), brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, apple pie and whipped cream, and other Thanksgiving goodies.
I was fairly conservative based on my past performances. I only filled my plate twice before pushing myself away from the table. And the second plate was not filled to capacity. I had a couple of adult beverages also as the day progressed.
So the bike ride earlier in the day was fun. It wasn't a long ride but it was the first ride since the race in Oct. So that was good to get back on the bike. Didn't notice any improvement due to the cycle classes I've been taking at the gym but not an issue really.
So there's Thanksgiving in all it's glory. Now I just have to make it through the next 5 weeks of Christmas goodies and meals. Whew.
