On Thanksgiving morning I walked the 5 mile turkey trot at a local park's track. It was a beautiful morning - cool and sunny. And there weren't very many people out. Perfect.
Not gonna lie, it was challenging. I had to stop a couple of times to rest and reply back to my sister's text messages. I probably need to increase my walking time during the week. Walking is the best exercise for me - no schedules, no special equipment, and easy on my body.
Monday - Green Chili Chicken Crockpot, rice, corn {off today}
Tuesday - Thanksgiving Shepherd's Pie* for one {book club in p.m.}
Wednesday - Dinner salad with sliced chicken breast {lunch with a friend, holiday movie at home}
Thursday - Quiche for One with bacon, skillet potatoes {spirits class at Total Wine, afternoon telehealth, grocery shop}
Friday - French bread pizza, side salad {finish wrapping gifts, lunch with Scout}
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed
*as I was cleaning up the kitchen on Thanksgiving I filled two small oven proof dishes with layers of stuffing, turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes and stored them in the freezer. I will thaw and bake covered 'til heated through.

I like walking the best too; I really miss it this time of year when the weather makes it rather hard to do much of the time.
ReplyDeleteI need to push my walking routine a bit too, I don't think I could do a 5k...even with a rest to text!
ReplyDeleteBeing able to walk 5 miles is something to be proud of!! I like your Thanksgiving Shepherd's Pie. Turkey is about the only meat I can eat ( well, besides bacon) so at Christmas I might make some of those pot pies too. Great idea.
ReplyDelete5 miles is no joke. Great job on making it all the way!
ReplyDeleteI try and walk everyday. Even if it's a short walk. Your menu sounds good again!
