No Black Friday Regrets

It might be because:
my husband & I spent Thanksgiving-just the two of us (I've been feeling grateful all month-so I didn't feel I had to put all of that into one day...or one meal!)
or
I'm getting older
or
I'm less addicted to sugar
or
???
But it was another day-granted more food, and food I don't generally prepare, but I did just fine. I savored a few appreciated bites of mashed potatoes & stuffing. I'm creating a lifestyle I can live with.
No matter how you 'celebrated' yesterday-I hope you savored all the things and people you love.
No black Friday regrets here...have a great weekend!

Saving room for dessert & other holiday tips

Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving-
This has got to be the easiest (for me at least) Thanksgiving ever...it's just me and hubby.  I'm cooking some of his favorites-less the rolls.
I'm preparing a small turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, spinach salad, jello salad and a few 'mini' fruit pies for him...and I have my pumpkin pudding. There will be a can of redi whip...I always have one in the fridge.
I can easily eat the turkey and spinach salad.  I'm going to make my own 'mock' stuffing with all the ingredients I generally use for stuffing-less the bread, and will add zucchini, mushrooms, and maybe even eggplant. (I'm fast tracking, so I avoid grain carbs)
A few things that will help me on Thursday-and helps me on other days as well is:
*I won't let myself get too hungry: Eat the meals before your Thanksgiving meal.  When I get too hungry-I don't make as wise of choices.
*I am planning what I will eat, and that includes dessert
*Check out my friend's blogs: We all have our own strategies for staying on course for the holidays and for every day. Feel welcomed to join in.
