There are a TON of healthy eating tips out there in cyberspace- here are my favorite (and I think the easiest to follow).

1. Drink Plenty of Water
2. Eat Slowly
3. Don't skip your normal meals
4. Eat the 'special' stuff (skip the everyday & go for the pie)
5. No Seconds
6. Skip the hors d'ouveres


Basically, I go between trying to treat Thanksgiving as just another day and treating it as a once a year special occasion (read: eating free-f0r-all). The best way to do the former is to make sure you give yourself at least one treat so you don't feel cheated, and the latter- make sure you exercise in the morning and don't let the Thanksgiving free-for-all mark the start of the "holiday free-for-all".

I like the advice this website gives because it kind of toes the line- go a little crazy, but not too crazy. Do what feels right & celebrate your friends & family.

I HIGHLY recommend getting some exercise in before eating (and it's always nice to take a post-turkey walk).

If you're in Flagstaff tomorrow- join NATRA for a run in the morning- they will meet at Flagstaff Middle School parking lot at 9AM, run to Buffalo Park & complete the Turkey Trot up there. OR just meet at Buffalo Park at 9:30AM & trot like a turkey for 2 miles!
