Mini Goal #2

Happy Monday to all....

OK...it is getting closer and closer to a major eating holiday....Thanksgiving...Turkey Day...and in my family we do some serious chowing down...I LOVE Thanksgiving!!!  I love the fact that it kicks off the Christmas season...or at least it used to..Now it seems that Halloween kicks off the Christmas Season...even too early for a Christmas lover like me! 

I digress...so...I am mentally preparing for food challenges on Thanksgiving!  My Mom and I are planning on taking a few things that provide healthy options for me on Thanksgiving!  My Mom is making a healthier version of Green Bean Casserole...I am not sure EXACTLY how she is planning on preparing them...but here is a recipe I found and thought I would share:

I really want to look forward to time with my family and friends and NOT focus so much on food...A real challenge for a Fluffy Girl!  But...I don't want to fall behind on my goal either.  I am planning on working out 5 days this week and working out each day before Thanksgiving.  I am also planning to workout at least 2 days of the 4 day weekend.  I really must stay on track!! 

I found a couple of additional healthy Thanksgiving "sides" recipes and thought I would share...

So...to make sure that I stay on track...I am announcing Mini-goal #2!!!
