I'm actually looking forward to Thanksgiving this year.

We're meeting up (maybe 20 or so family members, grandparents thru grandkids) at a Beach House in the afternoon, and it's a potluck of sorts. There will be lots of opportunities to get out and walk around, or play on the beach, vs. being stuck at my parents' house with the football games blaring all day long and piles of dishes to be washed. And too much pie to tempt one.

I'm bringing my beach-walkin' shoes, my swimsuit, and some old tennis rackets, and I'm planning to fit in FITNESS this holiday. I'm not at the goal weight I wanted to reach (yet), but I'm happy that I'm not stressed about the holiday.
