I am still completely full from dinner!!! We ate 7 hours ago.....isn't that insane? We had all the family over to our house. (I bet you all thought I couldn't cook "real" food:) There is something SO great about eating "bad" food with people you really love:) I lifted SO heavy on my back and biceps yesterday that it was a challenge to lift the 20# turkey in and out of the oven today:) I am so sore, I almost felt sick.
Shall I do a run down of all that I ate??? My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is always stuffing! So, half a plate of that, with fruit salad (real homemade whipping cream), mashed potatoes and gravy, and of course candied yams.....just made with a "little" brown sugar and marshmallows:) So, as you can see....it was a carb fest!!! I fell into a coma for most of the afternoon. I attempted to watch Survivor, but slept through most of it. Luckily it was TiVo'ed, so I watched it when I finally woke up:) I made a pecan pie...my favorite:) Have you ever looked up the fat and sugar content of a pecan pie....oh my GOD! It has upwards of about 20 grams of fat per slice! You might as well just rub it on my thighs...hee hee hee.
So, tomorrow my Mom and I are braving the insanity, and will be leaving the house to go shopping at 6am. This is a big tradition to us. You know what is crazy about it? Most of the time, I am so impatient with big crowds and pushy people, but for some reason- none of that bothers me on this shopping day..... I don't go postal, or try to kill anybody! (Like I usually would....ha ha ha) Well, I must go to bed to get ready for my big day tomorrow. Come Saturday, it's all business with my workouts! I've got to work off the extra 4000 calories I consumed today:) I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a blessed one! Train hard, no excuses! Love ya,

Tami
