Okay ladies break it up 
Happy happy remember? Whats "clean" to one is obviously not "clean" to another, and thats okay. The whole point of this challenge is just to "CLEAN IT UP" a little from wherever you are.
FF-true I did say "no bread of any kind" I guess cause all the bread I was imagining on Thanksgiving didn't have a hint of whole wheat in it! lol. But yes, whole wheat bread is fine, just be sure it really is 100% whole wheat. Besides buddy, you have a little more liberation in this challenge. I'm pretty sure you are the only one doing that horrible hundred this weekend. Can't be skimping on the carbs. Oats, please, eat them. They're great. Sweet potatoes, brown rice-all good. Don't go dying on that ride just to prove you can outlast a challenge And obviously when you work out there are a few different rules surrounding workouts-most of us know that.
Please stop fighting over silly things! As long as we're not talking about eating gummy bears off of rubber trees (lol) we're all good here.

no you're not missing anything. I had originally said for Thanksgiving Day "no bread of any kind" but don't sweat the small stuff. I'm actually thinking your plan is a good one Sara. It might actually do us all some good to "cheat" that ONE day and then get back on track for Christmas (for those going the distance). I'm an endurance athlete so I'll keep going
Phew, that's a relief
Well, not really, I was just going to ignore that rule anyway
Yesterday was very hard, I was the only one sat at the dinner table with no desert and there's a tub of espresso ice cream in the freezer waiting for me. I had to survive my evening hunger by eating wholemeal rice cakes with Marmite
LAST NIGHT WAS HELLLLLL pure HELLLLLL We provided the cheescake stackers for the orchestra party. So, my house has a whole pile of lil cheescakes, every flavor and frosting,,, oh man!! i have not has a single one.
then this morning at a bible study i go to there were bagels and cream cheese with locks. I had locks only, no whole wheat that i could tell for sure. I wanted to take a chance on th raisin and cinimaon but knew I would have ben kidding us all.
that's all for me today.,
going into retreat after job change and all that,,, off to do some community stuff and play all day

The challenge wont prove to be too diffucult for me, though. What makes it easier for me I think is the fact I love so called clean food.
Staying away from the likes of cheesecake, I just made a alternative: Natural Peanut Butter Pie (replaced with healthier ingredients in line with my goal).
In addition, I dont drink alcohol so this isnt an obstacle that some others may have. However, I drink coffee like running water out of a faucet<==== this is my major problem, lol.
Since Im cutting now, I have the calories mapped to January 10th, 2008. Im leading a deficit to Thanksgiving, and allowing a surplus of clean food on Thanksgiving. Which my body would be primed for in advance and will not have any ill effects on my goal. Then back to a deficit leading to New Year's day, and then I allow another surplus day of clean food items.
I have a plan of action. Lets rock this thing. Wish everyone luck!

I was too full to care about blowing it last night
Good job on everyone's success in abstaining! lol. Nobody better take that and put it on the out of context thread
You guys are fun friends.

Well, y'all have fun with all that. LOL
I'm doing well on regular days, but...
Sunday - Thanksgiving dinner at church (but I won't go nuts or anything:azzangel
Thursday - Thanksgiving w/ dh's family (but their food kinda sucks, so again, not a huge cheat)
Saturday - Thanksgiving meal w/ my family - and I'm not even going to care about calories or macros or anything. Our Thanksgivings have 3 turkeys (baked, smoked, fried) and a ham - with about 10-15 side dishes, and at least 10 pies ---so, it's gonna get nasty.
Other than those meals, I'm doing great.

does that mean our leader has already fallen of the wagen once, or that you were so full you did not want anything bad?
Today was not easy, but I feel good having made it thru. I did the great american teach in, talked Skydiving, took the equipment and everything. and they had breakfast junk galore when i got htere-- shhhhh I ATE ALL of the pinapple, and hony do melon hehhe
then at lunch they had sub, all on white, and all with mayo, and I ate orange slices, the turkey and swiss out of 4 sandwiches,,,
When I got home i made two full cups of quinoa and ate the whole thing-- that is a lot!
and these lil cheesecakes are calling me..... oh tooooodddd you hooooo don;t you wan to eat me....??? or wait was that my sweetie? hehehe that was rude.
I'M DETOXING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ding dong,,, shamalama ding dong a ramama
careful or yer family may just decide to cook you up- TURKEY BOY!
What do you eat then?
My dh's aunt makes tamales for Thanksgiving (but, that's not where we are going). That's really strange to me.
Mainly b/c she is as white as white can be and lives in the deep East Texas woods. That just doesn't add up. I mean, I would get it if they were Hispanic, that I've heard of, but they're not.
I actually haven't ate a thanksgiving dinner with my family for a couple years, they usually meet up with my dad's side and they have a dinner ( turkey and rice, etc ). I don't like my dad's side ( drama ).
The years before that, instead of having a real thanksgiving with a big ass turkey they cut the turkey into tiny little pieces and it was used as a topping on the rice, etc. Screw that, i want the turkey as the main course..not as a side dish.
I remember a year, long long ago, where it was just me and my family. And my dad bought this big ass turkey, and I remember just eating a turkey by itself with plenty of bb sauce. now that was a fking thanksgiving.

Ah Phate, that kinda sucks. You can come home to my house and have a big ass turkey AND a big ass ham. No rice tho, we make killer taters...that I'm ...*cough*...uh..not going to eat this year.... yeah...
If its air popped or plain and microwaved you should be good. Has a good amount of carbs, a small amount of dietary fiber, and a small amount of protien (nothing to yell at momma about, though, HEHE). Sprinkled with Cyan pepper, and your good..........I believe its part of the game, Baby!
No problems in my opinion.
