Holiday Workouts

We absolutely love the people we work out with every day. Group training is very social. We are in good enough shape that we can hammer and carry on a conversation at the same time. We love sharing bits and pieces of our lives with workout buddies. This time of year it is especially important to show up, work out and share.

The holidays can make people crazy, lonely & fat. Our God given family knows the exact buttons to push to put us right back into that adolescent behavior they grew up with. Worse, being separated from these folks that make us nuts can be leave us depressed and lonely. Of course, we deal with these issues and others (always in a hurry) by shoving garbage down our throat like a pig. 

The healthy and cost effective way is to drink/eat less, graciously leave the party early, get a good night sleep, then show up on time for the workout. It is not written in stone that we have to close the bar down or finish the last piece of pie. Overeating and missing the workout is the triple whammy; too many calories, not enough burn, and no opportunity to bitch about the floozy stumbling around last night.
