Let the countdown begin...
Just about two weeks away from Thanksgiving, or as I like to call it, the most amazing food fest/cheat day of the year!
A time to get together with family and friends, and celebrate all that we are truly thankful for. So please explain to me how it always revolves around food? I know it sounds funny, I mean I truly enjoy the turkey and all the fix-ins, however, I am left thinking how did this holiday really translate to food.
People who try so hard to eat well and exercise live a healthy lifestyle most days, but Thanksgiving..well that is the best cheat day of the year! I mean who the heck "diets" during Thanksgiving? Does that even make sense? As Chris Berman would say, "Come on Man!" It is not possible! Dieting should be against the law on this holiday.
I think everyone should get a free pass, in fact I will declare it right now! YOU! Yes, you! The person reading this.. I give you permission to enjoy your family, friends, and eat whatever you want on Thanksgiving! However, there is a catch. You have to get back on track the day after! Thanksgiving is ONE day. Not Thursday-Sunday. Nope! So let's make a deal! You work hard to stay fit, eat well, exercise? You owe yourself a "day off" to be thankful for all that you have. If you don't live a healthy lifestyle, well, perhaps it is time to use this as your wake up call. Start! One day at a time!
If everyone took time out to celebrate themselves, we may have more positive and happy people around. The world could be a better place! Now how about we commit to living a healthier lifestyle. Not just for ourselves, but for those around us. The "trickle down" effect can be huge! Spreading to family and friends in a very good way!
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed. They are meant to be a happy occasion. If you are not happy with yourselves, how can you enjoy this time, or anyone around you? Think about it! Deep thoughts with Laurie.
May you find peace, and be thankful for all that you have today! For living your best life is the best gift you can give yourself! Happy Thanksgiving All!
