You know what, Patty? I've always filled my plate with "the trimmings", and only then took a small piece of turkey breast to say that I had it on my plate. It was always the last thing I ate!! I've said it before: I'd never miss the thing...give me everything else! LOL!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Enjoy it. Don't go without and don't beat yourself up in the morning.
I get huffy with myself, take a deep breath and of course...swear never to do that again... But I do..

Change of plans , my dad wanted a turkey so I went to the butcher and got a fresh one. So it will be the whole enchilada after all I just won't eat the birdy num num.

good for you for trying something new!!
I am glad your dh is on board with you
I put the whole family on a vegan and gluten free diet for 2 weeks in the summer.
they hated me!!
But I felt great !
So you have totally inspired me to try again.
I think I will start with a fast and then go for it!!!
Love to hear your updates....especially that you made it to the 100s!!!!! Wow!!

Lynn the " trimmings " were what got me into overindulgent heaven yesterday! Oh was it delicious though! No regrets either because technically I did have veggies on my plate(s)....it was the brown sugar/butter enhancements that were my downfall.

Imagine if I had placed this cute fellow on the table instead of the real deal? Oh Patty, that was great you were able to get a fresh turkey for your Dad...were you able to resist once the smell wafted through the house?

I did not have any turkey, I was quite happy with stuffing, roasted potatoes, beets and gravy. Veggie gravy is quite sweet though. I guess it was the red onions in the stock that did it. DH could not tell the difference in the stuffing so that was a success.

Went apple picking yesterday so I think I will do some baked apple/raisin/crunch type of thingy today.

I've decided to finally take the plunge and do his six-week plan.
My fibromyalgia is causing me too much pain, too much lost sleep, and the brain-fog is so disturbing. I'm waking up in pain more often than actually sleeping, so my days are so unproductive.

Hi Lynn49. Have you seen any improvement at all on your symptoms since you started with Dr. Furhman's plan?
