And now let the Thanksgiving festivities begin!
I had every intention of going to bed immediately at 10pm yesterday but I was all worked up after watching Biggest Loser – argh. Vicki makes me so mad, I keep waiting for the week that she goes home. My mom and I both agree that if she wins the contest, we won’t watch next season!
Anyway, since I went to bed after 10, it was definitely a struggle getting up this morning… Luckily, I made it to work by 7, but my morning was definitely rushed. I started out with a bowl of hot milk + cereal which included 1 cup of fiber one, grape nuts, sliced banana, pom seeds, and skim milk. Delish and ultra-flavorful. Kept me quite full too.
Mid-morning I resorted to a trivia oatmeal packet – sorry for the redundancy here, but I can’t help it. They fill me up AND keep me warm! Looks like Kersten got the correct answer in the comments from yesterday’s post! Way to go 
Lunch was a Thanksgiving PB sandwich… I just came up w/ this name since the combination of pumpkin & pb reminds me of fall & thanksgiving! On the side I had a yogurt & fiber one. I also THOUGHT I packed an orange to have w/ my lunch, but it appears that I misstakenly left it at home :/ Booooooo!
Mid-afternoon, I excitedly tried the Clif Z Bar in Apple-Cinnamon flavor. Again, the flavor completely jumped out at me – it smelled so yummy. I wanted to warm it up, per Mrs. LC’s suggestion; however I ate it around 3pm when I was driving home from work, so no microwave was available! See above for picture
I was contemplating either doing spin OR other cardio and I decided since I’m not doing spin tomorrow (they are having a class but I don’t like the teacher) that I should take advantage and do it tonight instead. I ran around and did errands at the bank & Target and then headed to the gym to do about 30 minutes of lower body strength training. The spinning class wasn’t until 5:30 and at that point it was 4:30 so I knew I didn’t want to spend an extra hour in the gym waiting around, so I improvised and did my own 30 minute spin class. It was great and I burned 250 calories all by my own instruction. I did sprints, climbs, accelerations, hover, and isolations.
When I got home, I pulled out the remaining leftovers of my homemade chicken noodle soup and reheated a bowl each for Bill and I. So warm, yummy, and comforting.
A little while later, BellaEats cranberry pumpkin bread called my name, so I had a warm slice with Promise Light on it. Divine!
I was contemplating whether I should make my applesauce tonight OR tomorrow morning and ultimately decided, that I should wait until tomorrow to make it so it would be “more fresh” = lazy me. So now I’m about to throw in some laundry and just RELAX w/ Bill. Maybe a cup of tea will even wind up in my hands
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow, can you? I will be posting tomorrow, but for those of you who will be unable to read, I’d like to wish all of you and your friends/family a very happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
Oh, NOT a fan of Vicki. I got SO mad 2 weeks ago when Amy could’ve booted Vicki off but instead sent Colleen home. I didn’t watch it this week, but I just checked and saw Amy went home this week…in a way, it serves her right. haha is that heartless?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have always enjoyed Biggest Loser, but this season that blue team (Vicki) makes me sick. I bet Amy is kicking herself! She needed to grow a backbone. She should have kicked Vicki off when she had the chance. She was a bigger threat than Colleen. What was she thinking. I was so happy that Amy did the right thing the week before and you think that after the way Vicki was treating her that she couldn’t wait to send her home.
Sorry, had to get that out!
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Mmm pumpkin bread! Happy Thanksgiving:)
that pumpkin bread looks so good! i need to try that z bar..i love all the ones ive had,they are so cake-y and sweet.love it! happy thanksgiving:)
i’m sorry but i really think your old banner was better! i love the thought behind this one, but the font doesn’t do you justice. sorry!!
Hi Lindsay! Quick question about your lunch – what time of the day do you usually eat it? And how long does it hold you until your snack?
Hi Moran
I eat my lunch around 12 and usually eat a snack around 3 
have a fantastic thanksgiving too!!
Vicki makes me mad too. Not a very nice person at all. Hopefully it’s just the show that is making her like that but really no one should be that vindictive. Sure hope she doesn’t win, doesn’t deserve it at all.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Thanks for your well wishes! Great job on your own personal spin class.
At first I thought Cher, but then I realized that was Mermaids, so I looked it up on IMDB and now I know the answer.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sounds like you had a busy day! Great looking eats!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
P.S. I am with you on the Vicky front., If she wins I’m boycotting Biggest Loser!
a thanksgiving sandwich sounds amazing!!!!! i never though of combining those, too. i bet it’s wonderful. i just made a pumpkin pie tonight. i think i’ll have to scoop some pumpkin out and make a sandwich with the leftover pie.
Happy Thanksgiving and I love the new header!! Great job on your mini spin class!
Vicki is aaaaawful. I posted yesterday on how I think nice people should be the only one’s that win things
Happy Thanksgiving to you tooooo! I cannot believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Craziness! I think that its great that you put on your own mini spin class! Good for you! Have a nice night
OMG, I cannot stand Vicki, either!! She is so nasty! I know it’s a game, but sheesh!
The cranberry pumpkin bread looks yum – I’ll have to try that one!
Love the new Header!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
