As Thanksgiving approaches!

Well Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! My parents are making the trip and I am looking forward to spending time with my family. As we know this day also involves and over indulgence of food! I look forward to this meal more then any other every year! A true fact is that most people consume between 4000-4500 calories during Thanksgiving meal! Way more then twice what you should eat all day long. Trust me I along with you, am not giving up the goods this year..but I am going to take half the amount I would normally have. I still get a little taste and enjoy the memories of the food that has been passed down over years, but I am not going to go down feeling like a stuffed Turkey myself! Again it is about living! I am also starting tomorrow off with a 4-5 mile run and then I am going to enjoy my meal with my family when they get here! Then to help with this time of year...I signed up for a race the week of Thanksgiving..there are many out there..such as Turkey trots etc. Mine just happens to be my first half...again super nervous..but loving that this is party of my new life!
