Plans for Thanksgiving Dinner

Especially if you are participating in the Losing the Holiday Five Challenge, focusing on your eating habits at the holidays gives you the best chance to lose weight. It is far too easy to let out of control eating get away from us during the holidays. So why not get into some good habits before the holidays hit? This may be another place where habit stacking may help to stay on track.

Are you flexing your menu planning muscles?

Get out your journal or fire up your online tracker and start tracking your eating habits. Are you getting the biggest bang for your calories? Are you burning more calories than you are eating? Are you drinking your water to aid in your weight loss? Is half of your plate full of fresh freggies? Are you cutting down on your carbs? Do you have portion distortion?

Use this thread to let us know what you are eating and how you are doing for hitting within your nutrition plans. This challenge is about making meal plans and STICKING to them! Are we taking the time that is needed to make a solid plan and then are we executing that plan?
