    I'm going to do Turbo Jam after opening all presents, after relaxing a bit, and before we go to the movies.

    I'll probably hop on the treadmill, but I'll wait a little later in the day (after presents) and I'll probably only do it half as long as usual so I'll have more time with my family. I thought about taking the day off to spend more time with them, but they support me in my fitness journey and said it's OK with them if I spend some time exercising.

    I just went to the gym today. I had to. I don't know about tomarrow though...

    That's the biggest eating day.

    I guess the 25th will be a free day.

    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?

    The gym is closed tomorrow ( Christmas Day), but I did go this morning ( Christmas Eve). Normally I take Thursday as my off day, but this week I will take Tuesday as my off day and go work out on Thursday :D

    About a month after I started barbell squatting, I set a goal to squat 100lbs by Christmas Eve, even if it was just ONE rep. 13 days ago I managed to do 4 reps, and I was going to do a full set 2 days later, after my rest day. Well, on my rest day I sprained my calf muscle, so I had to take a week off compound lifts. So Friday was my first day back, and I did a full set of 8 reps. Today I went in and did 1 set of 100lb squats, then THREE sets of 110lb squats--and got picture and video of it!!

    My workout schedule calls for a 20 minute run so I'll spend at least 20 minutes on the Treadmill.

    I'm going to work out by shoveling xmas food into my mouth, going to turbocharge my metabolism
    Does between-the-sheets count?

    Those are pretty much my plans... although I'm also using the excuse of being too ill to walk much let along work out at the moment. Stupid cold/flu/chest infection.

    My gym is closed tomorrow so I went today instead. I'll try to get a workout in after work Wednesday-Friday too. Granted I work in a warehouse so maybe I won't need to go to the gym this week. We shall seeeeee.
