I know most people are going to take this day off, but I just got off an unplanned rest week; therefore, I will be working out. I'll still be eating not so great-- I mean, I'm not going to bake these mini cheescakes and not eat at least one. But another day of rest? No, I'm good.

Who else is going to work out like it's a "normal" day?

    I'll do the 30 Day Shred, I'm on a roll. That's less than a half hour, though. I will probably also walk either outside or on the treadmill. The holiday is quiet for me, no traveling, no huge houseful of people, so I really don't have an excuse not to.

    Well, this afternoon (Christmas Eve) I am making my triumophant return to the gym (haven't been in since spring) and I will be doing one of my new yoga videos tomorrow morning before I head to the family dinner in the afternoon. I need to exercise so I don't feel guilty about all the wine and food I'm going to have!

    I worked out today and will do so again tomorrow. It will keep me from drinking too much at family Christmas tonight;-).

    Yes, I am working out! Normal day for running! I will sprint 1 1/2 miles and check my time, then walk home. Only a little time, but a whole lot of burn!:smile:

    I don't have to work tomorrow so there is no excuse that I don't have time!! I will be doing Chalean Extreme Lean Phase 2 plus, Turbo Fire HIIT 15 and stretching.
    I plan to workout before I eat my big meal!!

    Not going to work out as gym is closed, but we will be going for a long walk after lunch to try to minimise the damage!

    It's a holiday. I plan on spending it with my family... the home gym can wait, and I'm pretty sure I won't go all to fat and flab.

    I worked out at the Y - Cardio and I am also going to take my dog for a walk for at least one hour. All in all, a good day!

    I like that; sounds unique. I might have to do something like that.

    A foot of snow coming on Boxing Day. I'll save my workout for that, with a little cardio thrown in to boot.

    On Christmas Day, however, I plan on eating about 5,000 calories and enjoying the company of family and friends. The gym can have the other 364 days.

    I'm planning on getting in a good 3 mile run on the treadmill before we go to brunch at my in-laws! We have an 11 wk old son so I'm hoping my husband can watch him while I do my quick run ;)

    I'm not too concerned with what I eat; I'm not a big holiday eater. But desserts? Oh yeah, I might go to town on those!

    I'll prolly be going for a 1-2 hour jog or maybe even go hiking with my husband to work off all the food we eat tonight! :D (We celebrate Christmas eve, and rest on Christmas day in my family.)
