If you're the kind of person who is trying to get ripped, then you know the importance of eating right. Of course, there are some days when the diet book gets thrown out the window, like Thanksgiving for example.
Recently, an interesting article on Blisstree.com pointed out an alternative way to spend turkey day. The author decided that rather than go through the hassle of cooking, cleaning and eating too much, she'd rather spend it working out.
First, the author said that getting up early to cook a turkey is annoying and stressful, especially on a day that's supposed to be a day off from work.
"[I would rather] go for a long run. This is my idea of a perfect morning. Hit the local trails and run for a couple of hours. Give thanks for my strong legs and strong heart and Mother Nature," said writer Deborah Dunham, quoted by Blisstree
The Washingtionian reports that the average person eats 3,000 calories on Thanksgiving. A 160-pound person would have to walk 30 miles to work off that meal, so it's important to keep that in mind when loading up your plate.
