How was everyone Thanksgiven ? did you stay on healthy diet n kept in portation control ?
I had wonderful Thanksgiven. At 10 AM Thanksgiven morning my turkey n pan in over blew up n out,lol
If the part of turkey that hit the glass in oven door any harder the glass would have been damaged. My guest had deer steaks instead of turkey.
I had my normal: water, 1/2 cup of original fiber one cereal n 1/2 cup of bran cereal. Mid day,I had white bean extract,1/2 cup of crab salad n pc of stuffed flounder n 1/2 of plan baked potatoe n 1/2 plan corn on cob,1/4 cup of brown soup beans, water n 1/2 cup of coffee. My guest had deer steak, flounder, crab salad, oyster stuffin n plan stuffin ( I use water n bake in stuffin in it's own pan ) mashed n baked white n sweet potatoes ( I use water ) corn on cob, green bean w red potatoes n punkin n sweet potatoe pie n carrot cake ( to make,I use sweet n low )low carb ice cream, diet sodas, coffee/tea, wine, n guys had mixed drinks, wheat rolls n of course white bean extract. Before mid day meal,everyone had trail mix, wheat bread sticks, fresh neggys sticks w side dish of creamy salad dressing, diffrent chesse's n grapes n wheat/rye crackers.
I sent left overs home w guest n saved crab salad -for myself n 4 pcs of stuffin for my 4 small dogs, n toss out the rest of foods. I made 1/2 of so called single serveings of crab salad n put it in freeze to have when I want.
I must admit at 1 AM that morning, I would have loved to have stuffed my face. I had 1/2 cup of bran cereal n water n went bk to bed.
As hard as it was I managed portion control,sigh
I have never nor will I nor did I do the black Thur/Fri shopping. I assume that they will have sharks/shoppers on tv news.
It's too soon to tell if I gained a lb or 2 but as of today the scale indicates that I haven't even through my tummy is bloated.
What did you do ?
Now were faced w Christmas foods n treats n drinks.

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me.

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body.

Sounds like you're exercising some great restraint keeping with your diet over the Thanksgiving holiday. You're an inspiration for sure!
We had all the usual fixin's at my place. I made regular pies and promised myself I'd only eat small portions for a taste. I had a little bit more than I should have so I did a couple hundred calve raises and squats to try to keep the metabolism working to burn off calories. :)
Our turkey always turns out really awesome. We use Alton Brown's recipe and it works like a charm. I made pies from scratch so I didn't worry about sugar so much this time and I made cranberry sauce with cherries, orange zest, pecans and honey. It's getting to be a family favorite.
I'm putting thought into the Christmas dinner and desserts and will be coming up with healthier desserts again. I'd sure love to hear what everyone's ideas are for the Christmas menu. :)
Swiss chesse is made of goats milk.
I pre make cookies, pie crust n candies in Sept, Oct & Nov.
I do not use reg sugar grease. I will use goat milk, soy milk, goat yogret, splender, sweet n low, pure honey, dark olive oil, n tree sap
I know that guys will want some form of deer n quail meat.
My fishing hunting buddys our churchs also make food for elderly, single parents, vets, neighbors...
