    I just pushed myself for an hour, even though I have a cold and didn't want to, because I am NOT going to let the holiday get the best of me!!!
    I have worked to hard to give up for a few days... working out always reminds me how easy it is to eat 600 calories, and how hard I have to work to burn it off.
    Here is to a wonderful Christmas full of joy, happiness, family and love (but not a whole bunch of bad food!)

    35 minutes on the elliptical, 35 minutes of abs and legs ( leg press, leg extension, leg curl, adductors and abductors) and 30 minutes of lane swimming. 10 minutes in the steam room, a good shower and I'm ready for a good meal.

    Merry Christmas

    Thank you so much. I'm sitting on the couch eating a candy cane and had decided an hour or so ago I was not going to work out. Well, I am now. Thank you all!!!!!!

    45 minutes of circuit training with free weights followed by 10 minutes of sprints on the treadmill. I will still try to watch what and how much I eat tomorrow, but I think I can throw in a little dessert, maybe an extra cookie here and there. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

    Today, after eating a loooot of Chocolate mousse with whipcream :P.. I worked 30 minutes on the bicycle with lots of resistance.. my heart was always at like 145-150 bpm. I did a little workout on the machines, working the biceps, triceps.. chest.. legs.. etc. I did at least an hour of swimming pool and jacuzzi.
