Thanksgiving Food Planning

First, thanks to those of you who let me know you're not a robot. I appreciate it.

Last night, my WW meeting was about The Great Plate. We planned our Thanksgiving meal with an actual plate and wrote down our must-haves and the PP+ values.

She started by asking the following questions. I included my answers too.

1. What is your PP budget for the meal? Day? 20PP+, 35PP+

2. What are Thanksgiving menu must-haves and what can you skip? green bean casserole, turkey, green salad, mashed potatoes, veggies, pumpkin pie

3. How big of a portion will satisfy you? 1/2 spoonful and tastes

4. If you have to guess, how will you do it? counting number of items or relying on what I know about that food and its PP+ value

5. What is your plate size? What will you do with leftovers? use a small plate, or only the inner surface-don't put anything on the edges. don't take any leftovers home.

My plan for the day is to treat it like a day and be done with the overindulgence. My gym has special hours from 6-8am and I will be there getting a workout in before sitting around all day. I planned my plate at the meeting and my plate ended up being 35PP+. It made me rethink what I really want to put on my plate when next Thursday comes. If my plate is 35PP+, that's ok! I will only allow it to be that much for one meal for one day. On Friday, I will go back to tracking normally and be back at the gym. This year, I will NOT let myself get in to the mindset of, "Oh well, you blew it....might as well eat and eat and eat until you weigh in next Monday to see how much damage you can do." I WILL get back on track and continue my progress.

What is your plan? Trust me, just thinking about your plan will make your Thanksgiving Day more successful than not thinking about it.
