Happy Monday! A new week is stretched out before us. I have a lot of plans and goals this week, so there’s no time like the present to get the party started.

I knew the last two weeks of November were going to be hard. This week, there is, of course, Thanksgiving. I don’t like turkey or most of the traditional Thanksgiving feast food, so that isn’t the problem. But the two days off work, no routine, surrounded by food all day, and the “hey, it’s a day off, so I should relax and eat like a hog!” mentality are going to be hard to fight off. Oh, and did I mention pumpkin pie, which I can eat by the truckload, especially if whipped cream is involved?
I need to keep my mini-goal and Saturday’s weigh-in tucked in the back of my mind. It’s so easy for me to slide right off the wagon, especially if the temptation is ongoing, like the cake my boyfriend felt the need to place on our kitchen table. I don’t want to blow it for some sugar and icing, no matter how good it tastes. I want to stand on the scale on Saturday morning, proud and victorious, knowing I overcame challenges to reach that mini-goal!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
