Congratulations on the loss, well done. Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of yourself, preparing the left overs. thanks for your note on thx giving day, I shared it with my hubby while we were planting out the greens, and he said he never knew that either. Enjoy the weekend with your granddaughter, it will be a special time of making memories for her & yourself to look back on. Thats what Christmas is all about in my estimation. It is a beautiful morning here, I hope it is the same on your side of the world in 17 hours when you catch up with y time. Again

That's great that you had a weight loss the day after Thanksgiving!!! The holidays aren't so scary anymore, at least for me. I hope you have a great day! After getting up early and grocery shopping, I'm ready for a nap! Report Inappropriate Comment |

 Way to go! You are an inspiration, Eleni! Losing a pound the day after Thanksgiving! You show us that with planning and portion control, THE national day of overeating doesn't have to be that. You had a delicious meal and still lost weight.My niece is busy in my kitchen cooking for this side of the family's celebration this evening. She loves to cook the Thanksgiving meal and I'm perfectly content to let her use my kitchen. Her apartment is small. Frees me to do other things like SHOPPING!! WooHoo! I'm going shortly to join the throng of eager bargain hunters. (I must be crazy!) Enjoy your day. Ann

Lunch turned out great and I only had one helping of everything.Some were small helpings. The oyster dressing was yucky but I always wanted to make it.Now I know.I love oysters but not in dressing.I only had one bite of it.The other dressing was good but it wasn't cornbread dressing but I ate it. Decided to make gravy from pan drippings. The turkey was moist and falling a part. made all sides much smaller than I use to. Candy yams were just one small can and I only took a small taste. Made it mostly for hubby. Also only took a heaping tablespoon of mashed potatos. Those were also for hubby. I have no idea of calorie count, But know it is half what I would have usually had. The gravy was worse as it was only salty side which I don't know why. I used just a little on turkey with spices.But I did use some garlic powder so all in all I guess thats where salt came from. I used extra milk to cut the salt. But everything was good and I didn't stuff myself senseless. I also had fresh sliced tomatoes which helped to fill me up and not eat so much of other stuff. We will eat it again tonight and then I will wrap the meat and freeze it.I may leave some as hubby loves turkey sandwiches. Any leftover gravy will be thrown away. There isn't a lot of sides left so I should be ok.
Thanks you for all the goodies and the well wishes.My buddies are the best and you know who you are. Wait a minute.Here are some of my buddies who support me so much Hallucinating,Fiestymama,Vegefarmer,Rozie,

Well done, I'm so proud of you!!! You proved that you can have a great holiday meal without stuffing yourself so full you have to unbutton the pants.  We haven't eaten yet and I've been freaking out about my portion control. My husband told me it's OK to go off the deep end today because it's a holiday, but I don't agree. After reading your blog, I know I can do it! Thanks for all the support you've given me! It means so much and keeps me motivated. Report Inappropriate Comment |

 Awesome, Eleni!! You motivate me to do as well tomorrow. I'm having my turkey dinner a day late so I can enjoy it with my son and daughter-in-law. My Thanksgiving treat today was a piece of my sister's yummy pumpkin bread. She used the pumpkin I picked for Halloween in a local pick-your-own-pumpkin patch. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bill!!
