Preparing for Thanksgiving

The walk into my office this morning - Beautiful!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.... so happy Thanksgiving! 

My week started off well.  Ate fairly decent from Thursday through Monday night, then things just kind of fell apart.  Went into the "eat everything in sight" mode and I'm having trouble getting out of that.  Though today does seem to be going a bit better.  Could be that I'm busy at work (which is weird for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, usually is fairly slow) so I don't really have the opportunity to eat or think about eating. 

Not sure if Hubby and I will be doing the 5K Turkey Trot tomorrow or not.  We got quite a bit snow last night and it's continuing today.  Though the weather forecast says a high of 42 today with 70% chance of rain.  Yeah, that will make a very sloppy mess on the roads going home tonight.  Anyway, if the roads do clear up a bit, we may run tomorrow.  Otherwise, we'll skip it.  It's one race we let the weather decide if we run it or not. 

Not much else to report.  Even though my eating has gone to heck, I'm still working out on a regular basis.  Was hard to get myself on the treadmill this morning, but I knew it would be a short run (2 miles), so quick and relatively painless.  And if I was running, it got me out of helping Hubby shovel snow this morning! 

Hubby has all the food planned out for our Thanksgiving dinner.  Doing more a Primal dinner than Paleo, but still better than we used to have in the past.  Not sure how my mom and son will like it, but it's a free meal so I don't there will be to many complaints... especially from my son!

We are having:

• Chicken (my mom is allergic to turkey and chicken is just as good)
• Sausage Stuffing
• Mashed Garlic Parsnips
• Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
• Big green salad with lots of veggies
• And for dessert, Pumpkin Pie with a nut flour crust (we're still deciding on what nut flour to use since I'm allergic to almonds)

For our pre-dinner appetizers, Hubby got some good cheese (organic, from grass-fed cows), meats, and for my mom and son, some organic crackers.

We are making enough for the four of us, and hopefully there will not be a lot of leftovers.  Though enough so I have lunch on Friday would be nice!

Wasn't able to walk today due to the snow, so I used my break time to write this.  But now it's time to get back to work.

Hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving!
