The delicious meal plus the company of a very wonderful family made it one of the most special Thanksgivings I've had in years. Having had a sampling of everything that was presented it's amazing that I'm only up a pound!

    No cheat day this week. I'm hitting the weights and eating right. See you at sub-169 next week!
