Week 90 01/16/2009
The Plan
Tom, Wolfie and I will go to Arizona this week to celebrate Thanksgiving with my parents. Obviously, we have a ton to be thankful for his year — my mom’s health, Wolfie is graduating (!!!) this year, all the positive changes in my life…so Tom and I WILL BE COOKING. This is a big deal for me, considering I have avoided “big” meal preps since starting Jenny. I’m Italian — I love to cook and I love to eat. Being in the kitchen surrounded by all that food may present some triggers for me. But I have a plan.
To begin with, I will be doing my favorite Arizona hike the day before, the day of, and the day after Thanksgiving. Ramping up my activity will not only help me burn calories, but it will keep me out of the kitchen.
Second, I am panning my splurge in advance. My family has this tradition the day after Thanksgiving, of preparing our delicious Bertinelli Turkey Gumbo. We use the leftover turkey from the day before and it is TO DIE FOR. So I’ll practice major portion control on Thursday so I can indulge in some gumbo the day after.
I like that you can move things around on Jenny to fit your lifestyle. In fact, that’s going to be my motto this holiday season:
To MOVE, MOVE, MOVE more.
