Thanksgiving 2012

I'm thankful for good recipes that keep me well. The ability to cook and provide for my family. Crockpot Turkey Breast. (my photo- recipe from Stupid Easy Paleo)

The two tortoiseshell kittens we adopted- the cool, relaxed cat (sup?) 

The cuddly one who likes to perch on the coffee pot

For replacing foods that fuel rather than trigger. Fat Guacamole Deviled eggs. My own photo- recipe from Mark's Daily apple.

My health so I can walk and take a few photos on my walks.

My house and neighbors. We are so lucky to live in this place.

And of course for my family- especially Jr. Family member, my friends, my job. Happy Thanksgiving. 

Please know, you can celebrate while staying on track. Your pie hole does not require pie. Show the slippery slope thinking the curb. Really. This Thanksgiving will come and go. Stick with your plan. Your body does not know that it is Thanksgiving. Monday will come soon enough. Listen.... wait for it.... zip-zip hooray. My clothes will fit. Because I will stay on plan. No mater what. Notice I am stating this and not saying "I hope it will work" "It's Thanksgiving, I'm going to indulge".  

Is it worth it to trigger yourself?  Stay on plan. I  will be doing just that. You are not alone when you stick with the foods that make you well, instead of choosing foods that make you sick.  Onward.  Happy Thanksgiving.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving - yes you can celebrate and stay on track but unfortunately for most this time of year just sets up bad eating until after Christmas! I used to fear this time of year but now it does not bother me as I know I'm in control!

    1. Thank you Hils. I owe you a Medifast transition to Paleo post next!!! Santa arrived early. The elves shopped at the Mac store. ;) Not 100% recovered yet, but better off, finally.
