5 Tips to help you survive the Thanksgiving Feast

Well hey there!

Most people consume a ridiculous amount of calories then feel pretty crappy afterward on this really special holiday.

 

These Thanksgiving Day Damage Control Tips will give you an easy to follow "Plan of Action" to navigate this wonderful holiday and feel good about your choices.

 

Thanksgiving Day would be so sad if we couldn't enjoy our favorite foods, right? These Thanksgiving Day Damage Control Tips will give you a plan with freedom!

 

 Tip 1. No sugar for breakfast. Prioritize protein, fiber and healthy fat.A couple of eggs, some sautéed veggies and 1/2 an avocado will fill me up until my big meal around 2:00. Avoiding sugar will help you stabilize your blood sugar and help you be in better control of your cravings and appetite. 

 

Tip 2. Prioritize and plan for some movement. It would be ideal if you can you can grab a quick workout first thing in the morning. Here is a fun Full Body Tabata Workout that I did with my son Pete. it's 20 minutes of awesome which  includes cardio, resistance and abs.  https://youtu.be/O44hbXlUg2Q

Or go on a hike, play some touch football or ultimate frisbee in the yard. Getting some fresh air will help your body stay energized and will counteract the afternoon snooze from the triptofan in the turkey. 

Another fun idea is to start a new family tradition, walk or run a local “Turkey Day Trot”. Most cities have some sort of race offerings or do an unofficial walk/jog. It makes for a good time and cute social media pictures.

 

Tip 3. Strategic Splurges. You get 3 “wildcards” for the day. Think of this wildcard splurge as a cheat that gives you permission to enjoy those special offerings. Choose wisely, but you get THREE!!  As you are enjoying your splurge, chew or sip slowly, savoring each decadent bite. After you have reached your limit, then it is time to stop. I give you several more tips in my Holiday Survival Guide on how to manage holiday parties as well.

Tip 4. Create margin for self-care. Allow a minimum of 10 minutes in your day to be still, give thanks, pray, and reflect.  Any holiday can be stressful, and carving out some self-care will help you be at your best.

 

Tip 5. Jump back on board ASAP. Allowing for a day of splurging is much more manageable than 4 or 5 days. Not only will this cause your pants to “shrink”, but it also makes you feel lethargic, yucky and achy!  I have to throw away the unhealthy left-overs the next day, or I will make unhealthy eating choices. Getting back to clean eating ASAP is key here. If you want a reset, be sure to grab my  3 day detox if you want to de-bloat, and detoxify your body.

  • I used to think crypto recovery was a myth until I became a victim of a scam that wiped out my entire portfolio through a fake investment scheme. Every attempt to recover my funds was met with more fees and empty promises. For two exhausting weeks, I got nowhere.
    That changed when I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Team, a trusted and legitimate crypto recovery service recommended by a friend who had successfully recovered his digital assets through them. Their expertise and professionalism made all the difference.

    I’m sharing this to let other scam victims know: it’s not over until you get your funds back. Your crypto wallet and digital assets can still be recovered.
    Don’t wait, contact Morphohack Cyber Service today. ( Morphohack@cyberservices. com)

  • Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too, so get in touch with him right now..

  • How I Recovered My Stolen Bitcoin in Less Than 48 Hours: A Hard Lesson with a Surprising Turn

    In early 2025, I made what I believed was a life-changing decision — to invest in a cryptocurrency opportunity recommended by someone I trusted. The platform appeared legitimate: sleek interface, responsive support, and regular profit updates. Encouraged by what I saw, I invested $350,000 — essentially my entire savings.

    Within a few months, my account balance had grown to an impressive $618,000. I felt like I had finally cracked the code to financial freedom.

    Then everything unraveled.

    The moment I attempted my first withdrawal, the platform went dark. My emails were ignored. My login credentials stopped working. Then came the demands — I had to pay “release fees” and “security clearance charges” to access my funds. That’s when the realization hit me like a brick: I’d been scammed.

    The hours that followed were filled with panic, disbelief, and heartbreak. I felt utterly helpless, betrayed, and defeated. But somewhere amid the chaos, I forcedHow I Recovered My Stolen Bitcoin in Less Than 48 Hours: A Hard Lesson with a Surprising Turn
    myself to act quickly.

    After reading several warnings about fake “crypto recovery agents,” I stumbled across a cybersecurity and blockchain recovery firm that had legitimate references, real case studies, and no exaggerated promises. I contacted them immediately.

    To my surprise, they responded within the hour. I was asked to provide all relevant transaction details, wallet addresses, and communication records with the scammers. They explained how they would use advanced blockchain analytics to trace the stolen assets — and they got to work without delay.

    Astonishingly, within 48 hours, they were able to trace and freeze a significant portion of the stolen funds on an exchange wallet the scammers had used to move the crypto. Thanks to swift action and coordination with the exchange’s compliance team, $278,000 of my funds were recovered and returned to my wallet.

    It felt surreal. Just two days earlier, I was sure everything was lost. Now, a large part of my investment had been saved.

    If you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, don’t waste time — take action immediately, but do it wisely. The right help can make all the difference, sometimes faster than you think. You can either contact them through E-mail at ( Spyhost @cyberdude.com) or whatsapp at ( ‪+1 (228) 313‑3152‬). Remember delay is dangerous so act now.
