The Thankful Tier

Thursday, November 28, 2024
Thanksgiving

Easily a top tier holiday coming up.  A day for cooking, food and family, followed by an additional three day weekend.  Ahhh.  Much needed, even if I'll work some in all likelihood.

Off to a good start.  Woke up at 5:00, wasn't real awake but also didn't need to go back to sleep.  Gave myself until 5:30 to make a decision as to whether to go for a walk or to wait for the Y to open at 7:00.  Chose walk and I'm glad I did, it was nice out there and it's supposed to be snowy for the next week so there will be plenty of inside time.

Pleasantly surprised to see a (small) drop on the scale.  Wasn't sure what to expect, given that I had a massive and carby dinner, but I did also get the system back on schedule.  Pretty sure I won't see another one tomorrow!

Breakfast:  Lazy bagels with cream cheese, coffee

A bonus day of bagelling.  Which I should not do, but I am.

Lunch:  Oops eggs (scrambled eggs, CF garlic pepper bacon, hash browns in EVOO, sour cream)

They need a name, but oops eggs works for now.  I needed a little refresher on separating eggs for my meringue, so I used the mistakes for lunch since I was planning on that anyway.  I also bought a much larger container of sour cream than I need, oops.  Chopped up three strips of bacon I cooked this morning, added hash browns and stirred it up.  Pretty good.

Later, 12 oz All Day IPA

Dinner:  The feast.  Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, mac and cheese, cranberry, jello salad, crescent roll with butter, 12 oz Miller Lite, a couple glasses of cava, lemon meringue pie, peanut butter pie

 

Whew, I think that's all of it.  I was pleasantly full but not hurting.  Feels good.  Leftovers tomorrow.

Exercise:  Walk, 26 minutes, just over 2,500 steps.  Not a major feat, but a nice early morning walk.  Took on the hill early so I spent most of the walk in the zone.  I'm super slow - got dusted by a couple of people walking their dogs.  C'mon man.  But happy to have gotten out there for once.
