While there’s no scorecard (well there sort of is), how do
you feel after the first holiday hurdle of the season? Many of our Foodtrainees
checked in with us and for the most part the reports were something to the
effect of “I feel much better than in past years” which was music to our ears.
As the week progresses we’ll meet with and hear from some clients who overdid
it. Either way, evaluate and reset if need be.
I write a lot about planning for the holidays but
wanted to show you a little recap, Carolyn and I love a plate pic. Here are
some….
 |
| Never save up on a holiday eat your regular breakfast and lunch |
 |
| Don't fill up on heavy apps, stick to crudite |
 |
| Love looking at various plates (actual dinnerware) |
How was your thanksgiving? Any family drama? What was your favorite thing you ate? Mine was the turkey...so delicious this year.
This Thanksgiving was nice and mellow—I enjoyed spending time with the fam and the dogs. My mom got a gorgeous turkey from Farmigo and brined it for 3 days in buttermilk. Probably the best turkey I've ever had. I'm sorta sad I just finished off the last of the turkey soup she sent me home with.
ReplyDeleteHorrible!!! I thought having a plan would be too limiting and that I could handle the food situation AND two gigantic cherry chip cupcakes, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, three wines, three huge rolls with butter later, I've gained two pounds and feel like crapola! Also, once I started; I continued to eat horribly the entire weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteMade Thomas Keller roasted turkey this year, actually enjoyed it for the first time in years. Since I will be at the beach in 3 weeks, I did not overdo it. Bikini is a great motivator.
ReplyDeletestrategic trip planning
ReplyDeleteLessons, lessons. Restart today and you'll feel better by the weekend. Which Jen is this? Client or not?
ReplyDeleteFarmigo turkey/brined yum yum yum. I'd be sad that was gone too.
ReplyDeleteNo, not a client...just a fan. I read Ivy League Insecurities too, which is where I found out about your book. I love the book! I've always counted something...fat grams or calories or whatever; I'm just starting to wrap my head around the idea that food can make me feel better. I think I've always focused on staying thin rather than the importance of eating well! Thanks!
