Plan of attack

Last year, I handled Thanksgiving like a pro.  I got up, and did a 10K with my buddy.  I ate a decent breakfast and a healthy but light meal 20 minutes before I got to dinner.  I plated my veggies and no carb food first.  I filled up on that, and when I was done, I went back for the good stuff. That meant that I was already pretty full so I had to plate the yummy stuff in itsy bitsy piles. When I was done for the night, I headed back to the gym for a slow stroll on the treadmill.  I didn't quite break a sweat, but I was moving.

This year, I plan to do the same.  Possibly not the 10K, but something equally as grueling.  It worked.  I ate what I wanted, I offset the calories and fat, I didn't feel guilty.  I finished up the holiday weeked on the scale having broke even.  Perfect plan of attack.

Oh, one tip... 

Skip the pie crust.  No matter what kind of a pie it is, skip the crust.  Just that tiny modification will help significantly.

Enjoy!  See ya on the other side.
