I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, and were able to spend some time with your loved ones. I had a fun 5 day weekend that went by way too fast. And if you can believe it, I hosted this year! Now that we have enough room at the new house, we had 7 guests over (plus the 3 of us made for 10 people!) I stuffed and roasted my turkey while Aaron fried his. I don't even want to know the calories we consumed, but I thought I would give you a little shock therapy as incentive to get your turkey to the gym!
Did you know, the average caloric intake on Thanksgiving Day is 6,000 calories? And did you know that 1 pound of fat consists of 3,500 calories? Wow. That is just too easy to gain 2 pounds in a day. The average American gains 7 to 12 pounds over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
You do your own math:
mixed drink, 250 calories
1 cup egg nog, 343 calories
1 celery stalk w/ cream cheese, 45 calories
1/2 cup mixed nuts, 440 calories
1 oz chips, 150 calories
1/2 cup jello w/ fruit, 120 calories
6 oz ham, 300 calories
6 oz turkey, 340 calories
1/2 cup stuffing, 180 calories
1/2 cup mashed potatoes, 150 calories
1/2 cup cranberry sauce, 190 calories
1/2 cup gravy, 150 calories
1/2 cup green bean casserole, 225 calories
1/2 cup sweet potatoes, 150 calories
1 dinner roll, 110 calories
1 pat butter, 45 calories
1 piece pecan pie, 480 calories
1 piece apple pie, 410 calories
1 piece pumpkin pie, 180 calories
1/2 cup whipped cream, 75 calories
1 turkey sandwich w/ cranberry and mayo, 450 calories
My total came to 4,068 calories, in which I will have to walk 40.75 miles to burn that off. See you on the trails!
