Holiday Overindulgence

have you upped your workout regime in prep for holiday overindulgence? or are you just thinking you'll be strong and NOT overindulge??? i know i'll have seconds when i don't need them. at least thanksgiving is really just one day (or two) of overdoing it. and really the foods aren't necessarily even bad for you... unless you eat gravy the way i eat gravy. :) it's just hard not to keep going back for more. december is the real killer for me, with all the holiday parties and whatnot that lasts for weeks. it's hard to be good for so long, day after day.

Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

so i find myself usually wanting a coffee or tea sometime after lunch, early or later in the afternoon. i usually indulge this feeling. but today, a rare afternoon at home, i did the 10 minute Melt It Off workout instead. wow!! better than coffee. and i can't believe i'm saying that, really. i'm drinking an emergen-C post-workout instead. i highly recommend this kind of pick-me-up.

The Iron Cross Alone Could Melt It Off

the iron cross is hard! major arm workout. i feel finger-ly challenged, though, hanging on to the ball. i still go slower than they do, afraid i'm going to lose it! but really what a great basic exercise that works your arms intensely, and everything else, too.
