Steeling Myself

So the Thanksgiving Plan had to be revised. If I'm going to be getting my ass up on stage next month, I can't afford to have a binge day like that. I can't believe I was even planning to do that. What was I thinking? I feel gross just thinking about it. On the up-side, I find that if I give myself permission to do something like that, I usually swing the other way when the time comes & don't go off the deep end & binge.
Regardless, I'm still revoking my permission.
It's going to be a huge extravaganza, but I'm going to do my best. Maybe just try for one spoonful of everything I like & hopefully that will work...
Best of luck to me & everyone!!

The Thanksgiving Plan

I did really well at dinner last night. I had a headache, so I didn't even have the wine. I ate until I wasn't hungry anymore - about 1/3 of my plate. I chose the smallest piece of baklava available, and had a little black coffee. Win for Jane!

So. Thanksgiving. I've already decided that I'm not going to worry about what I eat that day. I'm not going to stuff myself, and I'm not going to watch the calorie count of what goes in. I will eat tiny amounts of anything that looks delicious. We're having a mostly vegan Thanksgiving, so most everything will be fair game.

This week, however, I'm cutting the calories to a bare minimum in order to let Thursday be my 'high' calorie day. (more like OMGthroughtheroof calorie day... but I'm not worrying about that, remember?!)

First of all, I'll be drinking these every day. 60 calories for the whole bottle, and believe me, you cannot guzzle kombucha. Just try it. You will die a fizzy death. I will also eat an apple every day, and as much celery as I want. For dinner, I will have a salad with minimal dressing, and celery if I get the munchies. That will keep me around 300 each day (depending on how much celery I eat. 10 calories a stalk... but I kind of think the calories in celery balances out with the energy required to digest it.) I will also work out twice every day, and take fiber.

After Thanksgiving, I'll probably spend one day nibbling on leftovers (but keeping track & keeping the calories down) & then get back to the above plan for the weekend.

Go team!
