In our hurry and scurry mode this week I wanted to pause and give you five tips/strategies that I will be using myself to make this a most enjoyable holiday.
- Stay hydrated. Drink water. A half hour before your big meal have a glass of water. It helps with digestion and will fill you up a bit.
- Use the 3 bite rule. With the delicious array of foods and appetizers and casseroles before you, just have 3 bites of each. Save room for your favorites but say no to having a lot of everything.
- Move! We are planning our meal a little earlier in the day so that we can take a walk outside afterwards. This helps with digestion and the post meal coma.
- Eat guilt free. Guilt is counter productive. Enjoy the bounty and set limits that help you feel better.
- Focus instead on your blessings. Give thanks to all that is before you, big and small.
So I wish you a plain and simply Happy Thanksgiving!
I love all the tips but especially number 4…why eat it if you cant enjoy it?!
Yup! And we sure did enjoy it!! 🙂
Gorgeous photo! Did you take it in Ireland? Happy Thanksgiving tout le monde!!

Hope your Thanksgiving is excellent, Judy. Very good advice…especially the 3 bite rule and the water beforehand.
Thanks Jane! See you soon!
