Last week was the big T day... yep, Turkey. Fried, smoked, baked, however you like it. My family likes it fried and fried 6 of them on Thanksgiving Day.
Holiday festivities and travel kept me from updating....
Despite all the plans and travel, I did survive it all. It wasn't too bad, either. I packed my own food, brought pre-made shakes, muffins, veggies, soups, etc... the only thing I did out of the box was enjoy a long awaited Westerhall and diet coke. I haven't had Westerhall rum since July. And, I knew it would be pouring heavily at my Uncle's house in Lafayette. It was. And, yes... I did partake. Look, I've lost over 40 pounds. A long awaited glass of Westerhall wasn't going to bring it all back. I also knew it wasn't going to mentally throw me off my game.
It was a celebration. A moment of thanks, to myself... a long awaited thank you for investing in myself this year and losing the weight. Honestly, this Thanksgiving was a real day of thanks for me. The diet has not only brought a new appreciation for fruits and vegetables (of which I am very thankful) but a lot of perspective. And, I enjoyed that new perspective over Westerhall -- much less than previous years.... but still delicious nonetheless.
