Fitness tip of the week: Thanksgiving

For those of you already at your ideal weight and/or body shape, go ahead and gorge yourself for one day-you’ve earned it.
As for those of us working toward weight loss goals, we must avoid the following on Thursday:

  • Butter: Corn tastes great without it, as do rolls and mashed potatoes (which probably have some mixed in already).
  • Gravy: It is horrible for you-nothing but sodium and fat. Think about what happens to gravy when is sits too long and then think about that happening in your body.
  • Candied yams: Too much sugar.
  • Turkey skin: Pure fat-peel it off.
  • Sweets: You may have one small slice of pie. Just pick your favorite and be done. Don’t sample them all.

Have a Happy Turkey Day!

My current stats: 226 #, 29.8 %
