Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada. Although it is a holiday, they have not made it the huge food and family day that it is here. A friend asked me yesterday which one we celebrate. I laughingly replied, “Whichever one has the best food.” Ironically, we will not celebrate EITHER one this year. We were here in the U.S. for Canadian Thanksgiving, and we will be in Canada for the U.S. Thanksgiving.
I have to be honest, for the most part, the traditional food at Thanksgiving does not do too much for me. Turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce, I will eat – but if I don’t have any of those, I’m good. Don’t get me wrong – I have always eaten a LOT at that meal – mountains of mashed potatoes, a pile of Dad’s Waldorf salad, green bean casserole, and rolls with butter dripping off of them. It seems like we could eat for hours with the food at my house.
Just for fun, I closed my eyes and imagined what I would put on my plate, if I were going to be here for Thanksgiving this year. I would eat a little turkey – because I need the protein. I would have a tiny bit of the Waldorf salad – just because it tastes so very good. Hmmm – that’s about it. And I’m perfectly OK with that.
I realized today, that I have lost 60% of the weight I want to lose. OK, technically, it’s 59.64%, but that’s pretty close to 60%, so I’m rounding up. That is SO COOL!
