Thanksgiving success

I did it!  I made it through Thanksgiving without overeating, without seconds, and without emotional eating.  Felt great to have success on such a food oriented day.

Hubby and I didn't do the Turkey Trot 5K due to the icy roads (though we found out later they had sanded the course), but it gave me time to clean the house and him time to prep our dinner.

Dinner came out pretty good.  A few little glitches, but nothing major.  My mom and son seemed to like our Paleo feast, though I have to admit it didn't "feel" like Thanksgiving dinner since there was no turkey, bread stuffing, or mashed potatoes.  But the meal tasted great and was very filling.  

I weighed in on Saturday and as always, was nervous about it.  I ended up weighing in my normal weigh in pants, but with long johns underneath, a long sleeve shirt, and what I consider my "heavy" socks.  Amazingly, I was down 4.2!  Not sure how that happened.  I ate better, but not great.  Exercise was much better, but not as much as I would have liked.  But I will take the loss and hopefully not screw it up this week!

Yesterday was a very unproductive, un-active day.  It was cold out (we never saw our temperature gauge get above -3), snowed just about all day, and I wasn't feeling all that great, so I spent the day laying on the bed and snuggling with the cats.  Even Hubby's cat (who usually ignores me) snuggled with me for a bit.

Luckily today has been a more productive day.  I've gotten chores done, did a 6 mile run on the treadmill (was 0 degrees, so I wasn't going to run outside! LOL), and feel a bit more energetic today.  The sun shine might have something to with that.  I tend to feel more productive when the sun is shining.  

Not much else going on in my life.  Tomorrow it's back to the normal work week, so hopefully back on track with eating, exercising, and journaling my food intake.  I am routine orientated person, so getting back to work helps with that.

Actually feeling pretty good about life at the moment, which makes it easier to stay on track.  Plus we're headed into the Christmas season, my favorite time of year.  Love all the decorations, the music, and just the general feeling of good cheer.  ...though I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet, so there might be a little stress from that!  ;-)

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!
