Mamavation Monday Happy Thanksgiving!

November 19, 2012 By Ashley 6 Comments

 

It is officially Thanksgiving week. My menu is ready, all the food has been bought, and I will begin prepping tonight. I am lucky that I can control the menu. Since my grandmother stopped fixing Thanksgiving dinner I have been cooking at my house. Not everyone in my family enjoyed changes I made to our traditional feast (like whole wheat rolls instead of canned biscuits) but they are finally coming around. There is hope ladies!

Tonight I am hitting the gym and I plan on making myself workout at home during the rest of our break. Oh and my mantra: I will not overeat, I will not overeat, I will not overeat. Who's with me?

Are you working out this week to prepare for Thursday or to make up for Thursday?

    Your wayy ahead of me! I haven’t even been to the store yet! LOL.
    (We still go to my Mom’s though)…

    Sounds like you have a plan, I definitely plan on staying active and not gorging myself on food.

    Hope you have a great Turkey day!
