Thanksgiving causes guilt. I feel those extra pounds. Love handles are not lovely. When I notice my fat I have the motivation to run on the tread-mill. When I notice pumpkin pie cheesecake I have the motivation to EAT!
I showed little restraint this holiday, but it would be a tragedy to restrict my diet on Thanksgiving. Especially when my family tree is saturated with good cooks! The Sawyer family (my mother's side) is superb company. I haven't missed our traditional gathering once, and I don't ever intend to.
It was beneficial that I celebrated Thanksgiving this last week. Why? Because when I got home my little Nissan wouldn't start. I also discovered a 2,000 word term paper was due Monday! For some reason I thought I had one more week. I spent Saturday and Sunday in front of a computer screen. I actually enjoyed writing on the subject, but I know the quality will be poor. But, for a two day cram I am astonished that the paper was slightly cohesive! I need to continue to thank God in the midst of car trouble, homework cramming, and love handles!

That pumpkin cheesecake was AMAZING. So great to hang out. I am adding your blogs to my Google Reader right now!
Oh, I'm glad you chose not to restrain yourself on Thanksgiving! It would be a shame.
Glad you had a good holiday and that you survived the weekend stress!
just put the cheesecake in front of the treadmill... problem solved... best of both worlds, but with no guilt!
