Just saying "hi". We're getting the turkey ready to put in the oven (since we didn't have Christmas here, we decided to make the turkey today), and then we are heading to the gym to burn off some of those holiday calories. I'm looking forward to going, actually. Also looking forward to some turkey sandwiches, turkey broth (from the bones) and turkey salad (with light mayo) and anything else turkey I can think of! I'm also making my homemade stuffing, and will have that in moderation. However, since I got "done out" of stuffing at Thanksgiving AND yesterday, I'll be damned if I'm not making it now! And I told everyone that I would make my homemade mashed potatoes, which everyone LOVES. ::sigh:: I guess that means when I get home the kids will be burning some calories while they peel potatoes, huh? (I don't do so well peeling them.)
Hope you are all having a good day. I'll try to write more later!!!

4:45 PM -- Well we went to the gym and I was able to do all my reps and weights on the resistance machines AND I met my goal of 20 mins of the treadmill, so I am very happy with myself right now! YAY!
Waiting for the turkey to finish. It still has about 2 hours to cook. The house smells SOOOO good, can't wait. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. YUM. Just wish we weren't eating so late, but... can't do much about that at this point.

9:42 PM -- OK...finished eating a lil while ago, and was it soooooo goooooood. Been wanting my homemade stuffing since Thanksgiving, so it was worth the calories. Had white meat instead of dark, and some gravy and potatoes -- and 3 glasses of cold water to wash it all down!! Both Becka and I agree, we feel like we gained 10 lbs from eating, but it was so delicious. I am *quite* full right now - haven't felt this full or bloated in a long time. I forgot what it was like and I'm telling ya, I'm not liking it (even if I did love the food)!!! Every time I want to stuff my face with junk or til I'm ready to explode, I'll have to remember this feeling and maybe I'll stop.
