TOTALLY FORGOT TO SHARE!!!

So last week at bootcamp I actually HELD A SIDE PLANK and did a number of pushups on my TOES!  I was amazed and thrilled and at the same time wanted to drop the plank and jump to my feet screaming "YES!" at the top of my lungs!  For the longest time I have not had the core strength to do either of these things.  SUPER excited!  Now to keep it up while BootCamp is on break....my motivation has been lacking but all of a sudden went through the roof today!

My thoughts on the holidays....a lot of people "splurge" during the holidays eating all kinds of fattening, high caloric, high glycemic foods.  From mountains of potatoes to stepping stone size slices of pie to cookies by the dozen.  These types of foods are not good for ANYONE!  I don't care if you are small or large, you are doing damage by eating them.  And chances are most folks out there can not have just one cookie or just one bite of anything, so why even start?  Some people say "I've worked hard to be where I am, I deserve to "cheat" or "indulge" a little bit during the holidays." Well yes, you have worked hard so why would take a giant step back and make the New Years resolution even HARDER?  What you deserve is to eat healthy, nutritious food.  You DESERVE to take time away from the holiday stress to do some relaxing yoga or a dance class or tone up those muscles for that holiday outfit.  THAT is what YOU deserve!  I don't want to hear a single person say "I'll start Jan 1st."  I don't want to hear a single person say "When you are average weight and trying to maintain, it's ok to indulge through the holidays".  No, no, no it's NOT ok.  Yes, if you can eat just one and have ONE treat or even one SMALL treat each day, by all means go for it, but most folks I know do NOT stop at just one.  One leads to two, two leads to three, and three leads to the whole pan of bars, multiple cookies, or bellying up multiple times to the buffet.  Why would you completely waste 1-2 weeks!?!?!  Why would you waste one single day, hour, or minute?!?!  Do you know what you can accomplish in that amount of time?!?! ALOT!

Step up and give your body, mind, and self what they deserve....GOOD HEALTH!
