If you're hosting Thanksgiving are you planning your meal yet? Last year, about midway through the turkey roasting, my brother asked about pie at which point Dad exclaimed that he'd forgotten to make it and quickly busied himself making a blueberry pie. Aside from the last minute pie making I really do like to plan because I know that it helps me stay on program and feel in control.

Since we are just over a week away from Thanksgiving I realized that I probably needed to get moving on a plan. I like plans and luckily for me most of the menu will be very similar to last year. Some of it will be prepared before Thanksgiving day (roasted vegetables) and simply reheated before dinner. This makes Thanksgiving day much less stressful that is for sure.
I know there will be other food temptations throughout the weekend and I am going to allow myself to eat/drink for the Thanksgiving meal with minimal measuring and then get right back on plan. I'm also planning on logging some running and hiking miles to make up for any indulgences.
Do you think we'll have enough food? There'll be 5 of us! :)
What is your Thanksgiving plan?
