I run because I really like to eat!

Let's be honest....this time of year I run just to try to balance out some of the yummy foods that I am eating this time of year.

Eggnog..... I LOVE IT!  I know it is so bad for you but I try to drink the light version so hopefully that is a little better.  Also, I will not allow myself to drink it before Thanksgiving or after New Years (I have to have some control).

I just looked online and there are 223 calories in one little cup of eggnog....ugh!   So, If I run about 2.5 miles on the treadmill each morning it balances out one cup of eggnog!  I will keep saying that to myself until I believe it.

Another thing I love is all the yummy Thanksgiving Day foods.  My favorites are mashed potatoes and corn casserole.  Carb city in both of them but I cannot let them pass by.  Here is the recipe I use for corn casserole (http://www.cooks.com/recipe/47p60l2/best-ever-corn-casserole.html)

What are you all doing for Thanksgiving?  We are having Thanksgiving at our house tomorrow with my parents so it will be a nice relaxing day just the four of us.

I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving & safe travels if you are traveling.  

(This blog is so new that it might be just my parents that are reading this....so, if that is the case...see you soon Mom & Dad)

What is your favorite food at the holidays?  I would love to know
