Thanksgiving was so…so. Food was good, family behaved themselves. It was a lot of work though. Last week I started out eating well, and then lost it as Thanksgiving approached. I had family over and cooked everything. I did okay through the dinner but then later I ate too much dessert, too many nuts and too much alcohol. I did the gym on Friday but then ate out also. Those nuts hung around all weekend and my hand just kept going in that can…….

Saturday I went on a nice long hike in the woods with my hubby and dog. (My girls were both gone for the weekend.) Then we went to a movie, “Morning Glory”. It was great and I didn’t have popcorn! (Unfortunately I filled up on nuts before I went, but finished them up so they are gone, gone, gone.) I tried to make up for the bad stuff by only having turkey soup for dinner. But I had a few light beers with it. Hmmmmmmm….

I took care of my mom for about 6 hours on Sunday and I think it just kind of depressed me. She is getting so bad. It was a nice day and I would have liked to be outside. I made cookies, because I wanted to, and also because it was a good activity to do with her there. She can’t really help, but I talk about it as I go and she understands and seems to like it. She especially likes eating the finished product. So did I!!!! Then hubby and I went to a wake and out to eat afterward. Mexican. Need I say more? I was having a craving for Mexican and I ate everything on my plate (which I don’t usually do.) I think I am having some issues here….
