    Doing great in the daily cardio and strength department. @dawnbgethealthy I tried out Fitnessmarshall and found it fun....!

    Youtube favorites:
    Gel Anywhere Les Mills Body Pump with Mel
    Bodypump videos by Lazuria Zaphet. She puts out new ones all the time and calls them Strength Training

    Still running 4x a week outside

    Lacking in the flexibility department. Looking for youtube Yoga recommendations (gentle/relax type).......

    I think that your goal was 12 AF days for the month. After Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day (oh wait, you don't celebrate that maybe) then you will no doubt make your goal.
    6AF days in a row!!!! I have never personally done that, so I applaud you.
    I am also sure that you are going to be making some legendary food. I am always intrigued by what you say that you are making or have made and eaten. Do you have a foodie blog that we could attend??

    I love love love that you tried some Fitness Marshall. Equates to Zumba on MFP tracking. Completely fun. I did a new one today that I had never seen before. It stretched me out and took my attention so that I was "in it".
    I will always love to hear which ones that you tried, there are several hundred.

    So the new (to me) one that I tried today (and again, I have no affiliation whatsoever, I just enjoy the emotional/mental/physical/psychological release of them). Post Malone

    @dawnbgethealthy - It is my goal to make 12 AF days ... we will see. Sunday I leave for the camp which is a difficult place not to drink. But I'm encouraged that I've skipped an evening of drinking many times recently when DH opened a bottle of wine so there is hope.

    I do love to cook but don't have a food blog. I've taught all my kids too how to cook ... so there is always food. And they are coming over to help! Here are the menus we have planned.

    Christmas Eve:
    * Appetizers - Crawfish Benny with mini toasts, mini Natchitoches Meat Pies, Charcuterie board of 6 cheeses, meats, olives & nuts, and fruit strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries.
    * Entree - Seafood Gumbo (shrimp & crabmeat... okra & veggies cooked down for 5 hrs to where they disappear before adding the seafood) with french bread
    * Dessert - Southern Keto Cheesecake with choice of pecan pie topping or strawberries. My mom is also bringing a Pear Cake.

    Brunch Christmas Day:
    * Ambrosia (grapefruit & oranges) plus more strawberries on the side
    * Cranberry Orange Biscotti
    * Cinnamon Pecan Apple Rolls
    * Orange Rolls
    * Boudin & Green Pepper Quiche
    * Texas Zucchini & Canadian Bacon Quiche
    * Grits

    The adult kiddos will spend the night with us (bringing wood for a fire outside) then leave out to their spouses homes on Christmas Day after brunch. Missing my youngest and his wife this year. DD's husband's family (parents & brothers) joining us Christmas Eve this year as are my sister, DH's brother and my mom.

    I've hosted Christmas Eve with traditional seafood gumbo for almost 30 years now ... never know if I'll have 8 or 30 people. Thanksgiving is the same ... I've had up to 35 people stuffed into my house on these occassions to the point where if you were under 40 you sat outside! hahahaha

    Here is one of the recipes a favorite of mine ... you can make it crustless too! I usually put them in pie pans instead of casserole dishes.

    @Lilylady3k prayers for your brother and HUGS for you. Just read a new article this morning and wanted to share in case helpful or something you wish to chat to his doctor about adding to his treatment, if not already part of it. I think it's highly important.

    https://www.foxla.com/news/studies-suggest-4-vitamins-to-prevent-severe-cases-of-covid-19


    "A lot of doctors are now learning this and coming out and saying it! The East Virginia School of Medicine actually has a COVID protocol that includes Vitamin D. So if you're a patient who gets hospitalized for COVID, they're automatically putting you on between 20,000 and 60,000 units of Vitamin D. This is part of their standard of care protocol in that hospital system," says Dr. Osborne."

    Another article out now about medical folks pressing UK leadership to make vit D part of the Covid standard of care. They're onto something here.
