Happy Thanksgiving!

This year when you get together with your family for Thanksgiving remember the food pyramid:

In all seriousness, enjoy what this holiday is all about and be thankful. I am thankful for my health and will attempt to only go over my daily allotted calorie intake by 1,000 calories which will put me at 2,200. Here is some food for thought when considering how many plates to have in front of you tomorrow:

The average American will consume more than 4500 calories and 229 grams of
fat on Thanksgiving Day alone.

A 160 lb. person would have to run at a moderate pace for four hours, swim for
five hours or walk 30 miles to burn off a 3000-calorie Thanksgiving Day meal.


Don't deprive yourself and enjoy but be smart. Easier said than done....


Happy Thanksgiving!!!
