And so begins the season of eating...

It's not even November yet and I have left over turkey (well actually chicken) dinner for lunch today! Don't get me wrong, this combination of food and flavors is one of my all time favorites, but it usually ends up being pretty high on the calorie scale and heavy sitting in your stomach. For the past 3 years I've had 3 Thanksgivings: I host my own for my friends on the Sunday before Thanksgiving (a tradition started in Junior year at college!), then there's the real day of, then Brian's mom has one the Saturday after. It's always delicious, but between those meals and LEFTOVERS!! I, myself, become a stuffed turkey!

Although, for now it's just starting and last nights dinner was delicious...so I'll just enjoy it. I do think this year I am going to try and branch out a little from the classic sides for my dinner...well except the stuffing...I've got my friends obsessed with my family's stuffing too!

Because I knew I had a fairly high carb lunch packed, I wanted a less carby breakfast, and since I bought some strawberries yesterday I had:
TJ's Greek yogurt, half of a banana, strawberries, granola with some added sliced almonds, and a honey drizzle! This was fantastic!



My mid morning snack was a beautiful fruit cup I bought at WF's yesterday. I wish I could have these everyday but at around $4 a pop...that would make me broke.









Then my yummy leftovers...chicken, stuffing, green beans, squash and a little mashed potatoes...SO GOOD!


There was a big soft chocolate chip cookie in the kitchen so I broke off a little piece for dessert.I have such a weakness for soft cookies.

I am planning a nice sweaty workout this evening, probably my 40min iTrain workout on the elliptical...that always makes me sweat! It really helps me to have someone in my ear telling me to up the resistance and double my pace :)

Also, I NEED A HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEA!!!! This was the last thing on my mind before my exam, and now I have 4 days...eeeek! I'd rather not spend $50 on a pre-packaged costume either...any one have any creative ideas?? PLEASE??!?!
