So my wife and I are down in Atlanta celebrating the US Thanksgiving with Noel and her family. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving when you’re supposed to - in October. However, I’m not one to pass up an opportunity for a second Thanksgiving feast, hence stopping off in Altanta after my weekend conference in West Palm.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday, although it seems far bigger in the US than it does in Canada. I hear that today is the busiest travel day of the year in the US.

Regardless of whether you’re in the US or in Canada, it’s a time to reflect on all the great things you have in your life. I’ll certainly be counting all the blessings in my life this week.

My advice today is to make sure that you do enjoy your Thanksgiving time with your families - including all the great food. Remember, nutrition isn’t about dieting. It’s about making healthy eating a lifestyle, which means enjoying and incorporating the holidays into that lifestyle.

However, one of the biggest mistakes people make during this time of year is turning each holiday into a multi-day eating fest. Now that’s not necessary and probably not such a wise idea. Like I said, enjoy yourself with your family, but keep it to Thanksgiving Day.

It’s back on plan for Friday.
