[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this long weekend for the US? Did everyone eat too much turkey or pie or whatever your favorite is?

We had ham and cheesy potatoes and brussel sprouts and it was all awesome. But I made SO MANY cheesy potatoes, so we are eating them with like every meal for the next week, LOL.

Thursday: 45+20 min Peloton cycle
Friday: 20 min run + strength circuit
Saturday: 5.25 mile run + long family walk
Sunday: 60 min Peloton cycle

We have a tradition of eating snacks and appetizers while we decorate the house and tree, so I probably overdid the snacks. Snacks are my favorite food group.

Thursday: 5k family “Turkey trot” through our neighborhood. The annual one in our neighborhood was virtual this year so we ran our own 5k.

Friday: rest

Saturday: yoga

Sunday: rest

I made (and ate) way too many pumpkin bars. Pumpkin + white chocolate chips + way too many sugars = yum 🤤

I was off work last week so took a break from my usual regimen and focused on having fun. I skated my brains out, hiked, cycled, did an all-TRX workout, and one lifting session of just lifts I love and haven't done in a while. I am usually very structured with my training, so it was awesome to just do whatever I wanted for a week!

I ate way too much ham and various delicious carbs on Thanksgiving. In the past, that would have sent me into a tailspin of overcompensating with extreme diet and exercise or into a month-long binge. I am so grateful to be in a much healthier place this year where I could enjoy the holiday and then just move on.
