We went over the river and through the woods to spend Thanksgiving with family. A good time was had by all, and there is nothing sweeter than a few hours spent with loved ones celebrating all the good gifts God has bestowed upon us.
Of course, we ate too much, but I expected to do so. Although, I will say I didn't do as much damage as previous years. I'm learning to be more selective.
I did learn, finally, this Thanksgiving holiday that I should never buy candy in packaging that is "pieces" of candy. I made the mistake of buying a box of Mrs. Field's dark chocolate covered lemon filling stick candies.
No matter that 4 are only 140 calories. I will devour them continually and a serving for me will end up being the whole package. In the future I will buy one candy bar or one cupcake, regular size...no minis for me. While I might on the rare occasion eat two regular size candy bars in one day, I would never eat more than 2. But when it comes to bite size/tidbit size goodies...I'm popping them in my mouth all day long and just can't seem to quit.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are ready to move on to the upcoming Christmas holiday. Let the joy begin!
