Ugh. I ate too much. Way too much. For some reason I'll need to examine before next November, we decided that three starch dishes would not be a problem. We added sugar and fat to them and still didn't see the implications. Topping the meal off with two extra rich desserts? Gastronomical suicide.
So today I will exercise--first, physically at a Zumba class which allows me to pretend i'm dancing while I sweat and second, mentally while I resist all offers of left-over candied yams, garlic mashed potatoes, sausage fennel dressing or pumpkin cheesecake.
Will I squeeze some shopping in on Black Friday? No, unless you count donations. This is a great weekend to think about giving to those causes you support. Everyone's budget will come up short this year, so even a few dollars from new donors will make a difference. My extended family has decided to exchange donations this year as our form of gift. I have to give time or money to an organization that I think my sibling would support. This can be tougher than you think...if you're a die-hard Democrat, it's hard to give money to the NRA.
