Thanksgiving Plans

[ny biker]

Six hour drive Wednesday night, expect to arrive around 3 a.m.

Family plans Thursday and Saturday.

An even longer drive back on Monday (expecting more traffic, since it's during the day).

Hoping to get out and take a brisk walk up and down the big hill in my hometown on Friday, and again on Sunday.

My weight management challenge this week is not about food, it's about inactivity.

But it will be nice to see the family!! And I will enjoy my mother's apple pie. It's a serving of fruit!! Seriously!! She puts a ton of apples in it, real apples, with hardly any added sugar. And she slices them really fast with a paring knife that is older than I am.

I'll be working this Thanksgiving, and doing my best to stay away from all the junk food at work.

Me too! Although I don't imagine there will be too much junk food around which is fine by me.

We'll be watching football games. If the weather is nice enough we may take a ride around the neighborhood.

I plan to take a short ride between 10 and noon, hoping of course, that the rain/sleet that is coming through Wednesday into the dawn hours of Thursday, is done and the streets are not icy. There's a spin class at 8 AM, but I really feel like I want to be outside before cooking and eating.
I plan to have everything done before my ride, starting tomorrow night. DH cooks the turkey and does the stuffing, so I just have to set the table and do 2 sides, appetizers. My friend is bringing 2 things and we are buying dessert.

Provided it doesn't rain, I'm thinking of getting a short (~2hr) ride in while the turkey cooks.

I may or may not be riding. Our oven is bust again and we're hoping to get it fixed wednesday morning. If not our fall back is to butterfly the brined turkey and do it on a barbeque grill, or since daughter is bringing a turkey frying pot, do a texas deep fried turkey outside on our camp stove. If either of these two activities is happening I shall leave himself, oldest son mathematician, his wife the linguist, quality sound assurance tech for EA (home of the sims) daughter and computer techie friend in charge and take a ride.

either way it should be an adventure.
