Hello! I am elbow deep in sweet potatoes and other Thanksgiving prep. ‘Meal prep’ doesn’t usually make me think of brown sugar covered casseroles and pumpkin pie, but it does this week!
Pro tip: Make a cupcake of whatever you’re baking so you can try it without cutting into it like the tragic, no self control animal you are. Oh, is that just me? Okay. Don’t judge.
I baked the sweet potatoes and peeled off the skins for the casserole. This is pretty much the only time of year when I cook so many things from scratch. I love it, but make the biggest mess ever. I also have pumpkin bread baking, cornbread and green bean casserole.
Sadly, when I was trying to get a glass tupperware down from the cupboard above the oven, one fell and hit the side of the stove. It chipped it pretty bad. Boo. But, I think if it would have hit the glass it would have completely cracked it so I should at least be happy about that. It all happened so fast I also smashed my finger at the same time and have no idea how. Oh well. Life must go on because tomorrow is my favorite day!
I tried to have a veggie and protein packed dinner since I knew I’d be eating the cornbread and a delicious pumpkin bread in 3 minutes.
Thanksgiving Goals:
Go big.
Pile on the Miles Goals:
Now we should talk about running and eating…
What is your Pile on the Miles Check In today?
It’s fine if you take a rest day, just stay honest and accountable! We all deserve a day off. But it’s easy to get way off track this time of year. Take a day or two to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Keep it part of the plan so you know when you’re running or working out again after the break.
did 6 miles on thanksgiving! hardest run i’ve had in ages, though.
so glad you had a fabulous holiday 🙂
I did about 6 miles at the beach!
Early Thanksgiving walk!
I ran back-to-back turkey trots and won my age group in both! 10k 45:14 and 5k 22:28, both are also PRs 🙂 After the 2nd race, I hauled ass to my car b/c I had to get home to cook my dish, so I ran some more. Probably totaled about 10 miles altogether, so I fifure I earned all of the food I consumed… and it was A LOT. Ha. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I ran 3 miles on Turkey Day!
6.3 pre-turkey miles 🙂
5k Turkey trot to #potm15
I did a spin class and an arm strength circuit.
I wanted to do my strength focused workout the day before Thanksgiving but was forewarned of nonstop rain here in St. Louis the remainder of the weekend… so Wednesday 19 mile run took the strength training place. Strength will happen in… 30 minutes from now 🙂
Did a 10k turkey trot today and got a PR, can’t beat that, another reason to stuff my face. I am thankful for you Monica, thanks for keeping me entertained, happy turkey day!
Strength training this morning…way too early…6am but got it done and dusted! It was chest/pecs and shoulders.
Scored 4 miles run just before dinner.
Well I did it! 13.1 skinny Turkey half marathon this morning. 1st in my age group but boy the hills killed me!
Hello! Goal for the week is 15 miles- walked 2.8 miles Wednesday. Also walked 2.8 today and then had a 2.4 mile run later in the morning!
My family took a really nice walk on the beach this morning!
I ran 5.25 miles this.morning and took a walk this afternoon.
Went for a long walk at lunchtime today, and walked into the city centre after work for shopping times 🙂
I did my own personal 10K turkey trot this morning and did it in 55:24 !!
Super jazzed about that!! Not bad for an old lady of 58 !
I ran a six mile turkey trot this morning, then took my brothers dogs for a walk. I will take them for another walk after our big turkey dinner.
5K Turkey Trot this morning with my 12 y/o son, he ran a PR by 2;10 for a 20:15 finish. He is closing the gap between our finish times so I might be looking at his backside next year!
Started the day off with a 5k Turkey Trot with two of my boys!
I ran my own 5K Turkey Trot around my neighborhood. Been trying to save a few bucks now that the holidays are upon us. Can’t wait to eat today! Happy Thanksgiving Monica 🙂
I ran 3 miles this morning in the rain! I knew I needed it because I am about to feast! 🙂
I completed 2 miles today which means I reached my mileage goal for POTM15! Any other miles I get done is icing on the cake! I also did a full body workout and now I eat, laugh and spend time with family and friends all day! Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
I did that with my stove too. You can get a little jar of white appliance paint at Home Depot-it looks like whiteout but works great….it doesn’t fix it but makes it much less noticeable.
I did that once with my stove too! It sucks. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Going for 3!
Happy Thanksgiving, Monica! I hope you have a wonderful day! I am taking today as a rest day, unless I go for a walk later with the puppy. Blessings to you and yours.
3 mile run and a short walk with the pup this morning! 🙂
A nice 5 miles before the celebrating!
I ran 3 miles yesterday. Probably going to do another 3 this morning.
Running a 5 mile turkey trot this morning!
Happy Thanksgiving!
#POTM15 check in today 🙂 ran 1.24m and 3.7m cycled (sounds so much better in km…waah!) plus abs!! First gym session of the week, aiming for 3 this week AND next week *woah now*
i’m not in the states right now 🙁 🙁 and have no americans around this year so no thanksgiving celebrations. that’s okay, though, i still worked out today! so 4/5 days done for the week!
