Thanksgiving plan...

Nov 27, 2009

Oh yes, I definitely had one.  I wanted for the first time in my life to NOT gain weight on this gluttonous holiday.  My plan worked out - I was the chef, I knew what everything tasted like, and I didn't have to gorge myself on anything.  And I didn't.  I tasted everything I wanted, I ate my protein first, I had small amounts of dessert - my olivia plates as I like to call them.  (That's a story for another time.) 

I even drank 1/2 glass of wine before dinner and had a Bellini with my dessert.  It was a no stress holiday.  A beautiful afternoon with my boyfriend, his dad, his sister, her son, and her boyfriend.  Everyone thought the food was amazing.  I was really happy with my end product.  Crawfish Cornbread stuffing, shrimp stuffed miriliton, Creole Butter Turkey, Green bean and ham casserole, and Pumpkin Blondies with Cream Cheese frosting. 

And I had a little bit of everything I made, plus some cranberry sauce. 

Tonight, Turkey and Andouille Gumbo! 

I didn't even have acid reflux last night.  Why?  I had liquids for dinner - just a cup of Pumpkin Spice soy milk and about a tablespoon of Rum.  Yum.

Oh... and I didn't gain a ounce.  The scale said 210.6 on Tuesday and it said 210.2 this morning.  I lost .4 lbS!
