Recovering from too much turkey: December 2 2024
In my heart of hearts, I’m a foodie. I live to cook, and I live to eat! It’s a rather challenging combo since I also love to be healthy, fit and slender.
I recently lost 15 pounds by cutting way back on calories and ramping up exercise. And it feels great. But here we are at the holidays, and you know what that means — parties, gatherings, and more food and drink than usual! (Like Thanksgiving, when I consumed a bit too much turkey!)
So I’m trying, overall, to go for small portions, and get a good workout in as many days a week as possible. Tonight, I worked out while watching Netflix and managed to get 5k+ steps and lift weights to the degree that I will be sore tomorrow!
I have no pictures to show for it, but I will share a couple of photos of me from over the weekend, when I was at author events. And one can hopefully see from the pictures that I’m managing to keep fit!
I’m tempted to share a picture from early last summer when I had 15 pounds more on me, but I’m not going to! Trust me when I say I look much better now.
Thanks for visiting!

Great to see you with your book. It seems like the snow in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota area produces good writers just out of sheer boredom and desire for description. Stay healthy and happy.
Ha ha. I wish I was bored, @mineopoly! Way too busy for that. Writing time is squeezed in between my crazy job, my crazy friends and my crazy family. 😂
Thanks for visiting!
You look fabulous! I love the red snowman vest, too.
Thanks @shanibeer! I have a bunch of ugly sweater contestants that I cycle through this time of year. 😄
Glad to hear you have set goals and accomplished them!👍
Keeping weight off can be a lifetime struggle, Liz has lost weight and is doing the same thing as you with smaller portions to make sure the weight stays off!😇🥰
PS…… Just a heads up @elizabethbit is doing a post later this evening and will be “Tagging” you. Please watch for it in the next couple of hours!😊
Thanks @silvertop. Well, I just saw this message, and I appreciate it because I might have missed it. But I just happened to see the crypto in my wallet and then found the post! What a fun project! I paid it forward, and I hope it keeps going!
It will be fun to watch this progress day by day leading up to Christmas!☺️
Stay warm, it sounds like Winter has arrived where you live!🥶
