5 1/2 hours to cook this beautiful 21 lbs Tom Turkey. The meat should last us days.

On track all day. Eggs, 1/4 avocado and 1/2 tomato for breakfast. A grilled chicken salad for lunch. Almonds for a snack. Plenty of water. Not too shabby.

For dinner?

Well remember that turkey I was planning to make this week. Well that 21 lbs bird just came out of the oven. And while it looks scrumpdillyicious, given the late hour, it will be tomorrow’s dinner.

So what’s a girl to do? Given this Butterball took  5 1/2 hours to cook, I was tempted to head over to Five Guys – the world’s most awesome burger creator. But as I want to do what’s right and avoid easy when it comes to food, I just decided to eat the leftover ribs from my hubby’s lunch and added in a few extra grilled veggies from yesterday.

Rather than a burger and fries, I’m having this healthy dinner tonight.

So I finished up the day staying on track and put myself on a solid path for the weekend with that big a$$ turkey.
