Getting Back on Track After Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving's over, for better or worse — now what? Even if you strayed from the eating principles of the South Beach Diet, you can always get back on track. Here are four steps to help you regain your footing.
1. Clean your kitchen. Make sure no unhealthy foods (like highly processed chips and sweets) have crept back into the cupboards over the holiday. Take a trip to the grocery store to replenish your healthy snacks, such as low-fat cheese, fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
2. Return to Phase 1. If you overindulged, you may have to go back to Phase 1 in order to eliminate cravings. Fortunately, the South Beach Diet is a flexible plan that accommodates real life. In other words, you can alternate between the three Phases as necessary — by going back to the strictest Phase when you need to get back on track, for example, or stepping into Phase 2 or 3 so you'll have more choices during the holidays or vacations.
3. Move it. In the weeks ahead, remember that some exercise is better than none, so if you don't have time to fit in a 30-minute workout, do what you can when you can.
4. Get ready for the next holiday. Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's are just around the corner. Take the lessons you learned from Thanksgiving and use them to plan your next holiday celebration. If you keep your Thanksgiving failures and successes in mind, you'll be better prepared for the road ahead.

I hope that all who celebrated Thanksgiving, had a very good holiday. I enjoyed mine as I went out to dinner with a good friend so it was relatively stress free. 
I drink a bit too much wine, ate all the food that was served to me, ate 2 pieces of their home baked bread and had pecan pie for dessert. I felt totally stuffed when it was over and have not felt that way in a very long time...nor do I want to feel that way again any time soon. 
I made a big pot of turkey/veggie soup on Thanksgiving. It came out really yummy! I really like having a good soup in my fridge!  For the occasion, I used wings, legs and thighs for the soup......yikes! thats a lot of fat!! 
I am so thankful to the SBD as it this plan that has taught me how to eat in a balanced and healthy way.  |
I've done what I can based on what I was able to read of his book while visiting this week. Now we are home and I can start in earnest.
