Home is Where the Heart Is

Well I am home in NY for the holiday. Tom drove us back to the tri-state area last night like a trooper -- rain + rush hour + heavy Thanksgiving traffic is not a good combination. Luckily we had some Jeopardy trivia to pass the time. Did you know you can access all of the Jeopardy questions and answers EVER here: http://j-archive.com/listseasons.php. So freakin' crazy!

Now I am home and half working, half trying to avoid the massive amounts of food everywhere. This is what I am dealing with here...

So far so good though. For breakfast I had 1 egg and 2 egg whites scrambled with an apple on the side. I spent the next few hour chugging water to keep my hands off the reeses cups. For lunch I tried to keep portions small while still enjoying some of the "treats" my mom bought for me:

A few pieces of turkey, salami and provolone, small bit of pasta salad from my favorite deli, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Before lunch, I decided to take a break from work and do some exercise in the basement! Go me. I made up this crazy long total body workout and really pushed myself throughout. It took me just under an hour from start to finish.

That looks crazy long. I really like changing up the moves constantly..it keeps things from getting boring. It was an awesome workout and I was definitely pretty sweaty once it was done.

I know my mom has a healthy dinner on the menu. I just have to last through today then I can splurge on Thanksgiving. Ahh!!
