Post Thanksgiving Bliss!

I’ve gotta be honest… I did not eat clean on Thanksgiving. I ate dressing and sweet potato casserole and even pumpkin tart… yum, yum, yum!  I ate and I was on a happy little carb high for a full day!  I’m past it now and back to my clean, competition diet and don’t feel one shred of guilt… and I am thankful for that.  I truly feel like I’ve gotten something out of my system… like I was feeling deprived without even knowing it and this one meal totally cured it! 

I decided to have Thanksgiving with my best friend instead of staying home with family. This year I just needed to do something completely different than what we used to do with my husband… and it was a fantastic decision! I feel happy and relaxed instead of sad and anxious.  Whenever I visit my friend Hilary I always feel like I’m on the best little mini vacations. She lives in a small town in southern Alabama… there’s not alot to do… but I always feel more peaceful and centered when I’m here. 

I brought my exercise band with me and plan to knock out an arm workout and then we’re gonna take my lil’ miss on a hike and then to the playground.  A nice, relaxing, fit sort of day!  Diet so far is great, and got my morning supplements in.   Not sure about dinner yet… probably a chicken stir fry… we’ll see.
