I am the same as you, I exercise my way through :-) It makes me feel so much better and helps me to forgive myself if I overindulge. I still try to eat everything in moderation, but we all know how we can slip up at times surrounded by so much temptation! That's why running definitely makes things so much better! I've been pretty good so far about staying on track with my workouts, so hopefully I will be able to manage to get them in as I have scheduled!Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16680224957822372287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-65427576793759771562008-11-25T12:28:00.000-05:002008-11-25T12:28:00.000-05:00Great post!!<BR/><BR/>I always stay active no matter where I am.

Don't eat anything unless it's simply delicious! Too often we pile casseroles and other things on our plates and mindlessly eat them without really tasting them. Rewinding that in my mind I think "that broccoli casserole was kinda bland." I hate to waste those calories on something that isn't scrumptious!<BR/><BR/>Loving your blog! :)Colleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-58619975416411565832008-11-25T10:33:00.000-05:002008-11-25T10:33:00.000-05:00I'm going to try to get in a long run on Thanksgiving morning.

I think exercising before a big holiday meal just ends up making you want to make healthier choices anyway! Exercise always seems to bring out that healthy mindset. That's why it's so darn awesome. <BR/> The approximate 3000 calories per thanksgiving meal though, now that's quite an eye opener. I'm kind of glad my thanksgiving has already past (Canada). Now I just have to get ready for good ol Christmas time...lighterportionshttp://lighterportions.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-11342722989500533972008-11-25T10:02:00.000-05:002008-11-25T10:02:00.000-05:00I'm also planning on a Thanksgiving run. Since sitting around in my PJ's with coffee and pumpkin bread while I watch the parade and read the Black Friday ads is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving, I'm saving my run for around noon!<BR/><BR/>My parents and I used to always take walks on Thanksgiving and Christmas to get our blood flowing and get some fresh air (even if it's usually cold air!).Bridgethttp://foodfitfun.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-14609005168467714372008-11-25T09:48:00.001-05:002008-11-25T09:48:00.001-05:00I know I won't be able to run on Thanksgiving as we'll be on a plane and then seeing family for the first time in a while, so I plan on getting to the gym tonight and getting a run in tomorrow. Then, I'm going to try to run/play football with the fam Fri and Sat .. my goal is to move as much as possible (hopefully with 4 real workouts this week!!)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02190642318323262412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-24939833472911729482008-11-25T09:48:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:48:00.000-05:00Yes I think that exercising is much more of a mental thing for me at least. While burning off the extra say 1,000 calories isn't realistic, just knowing you made some difference is comforting. Plus you just feel better throughout the day, and why would you not want that? I plan on running in my town's Turkey Trot. It is only a 5k but I just love the atmosphere of this race. Have a wonderful Holiday everyone and enjoy yourselves!katiehttp://kmkiely.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-72282253280575791592008-11-25T09:41:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:41:00.000-05:00Well, on Thanksgiving Day I have a 5 miler and Im dying to beat my fastest time of 40 minutes and 50 seconds. My goal is anything in the 30s (as in 39:59...lol)<BR/><BR/>As far as the holidays, its marathon training time and every week from now until April is full or running with my longs run now at 8-10 and moving up all the way to 22 in the next few months. <BR/><BR/>Sheesh, Im getting tired just THINKING about it. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-38932575433998245582008-11-25T09:38:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:38:00.000-05:00Totally exercising over the holidays!
