A Walking Plan for Thanksgiving Week
In the USA we are celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. It is such a great family time for most people. I’m exhausted reading emails and articles on what NOT to eat on Thanksgiving Day. I’m happy we can still eat turkey (if you eat the white meat only without skin on it). However, mashed potatoes are replaced with a rice and vegetables mixture; pumpkin pie is replaced with a fruit salad; cramberries are replaced with apples; stay away from gravy and the rolls should not even make it to the table.
I eat most of these foods only at Thanksgiving and I intend to eat and enjoy the food and the fellowship of the people I love. However, I will prepare for the extra calories by pulling out my program for “The Walking Plan for Thanksgiving”.
The Walking Plan for Thanksgiving
From Sunday before Thanksgiving to the Sunday after Thanksgiving. all you do is add 15 more minutes EACH day you walk. That is an extra 120 minutes (2 hours) a week by only adding 15 additional minutes each day. As you can figure out, add 30 minutes extra each day and you have walked an extra four mileswhich will help balance out those additonal calories. You can do it too and enjoy Thanksgiving Day with your family, friends and loved ones. My love to you – Happy Thanksgiving!
