    I was contemplating a hike in the mountains or at Red Rock Canyon. Rain is happening though :( No way I can get my family to go out in that, lol. Maybe for New Year's.

    Depends on how much time I have. It's been nice weather so I may take the dog we're watching out for a long-ish walk by our house. My gym is closed though and I might be too busy with other stuff! I hit it today though and have class monday.

    I don't celebrate Christmas, so yes :) since my gym isn't 24 hours and won't be open on Christmas, I'll probably just do a video at home.

    Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for working out "when you should be spending time with your family blah blah." It's totally possible to spend time with your family and get in a work out, and it doesn't mean that by working out on a holiday you're not letting yourself relax and enjoy it. It's all about balance. In fact, on Thanksgiving it's one of my traditions to go out for an early morning run because the roads are empty and it's an enjoyable time to exercise. Then I go and spend time with my family and eat good food. I find I can relax better when I exert myself at some point during the day, otherwise I'm just itching to do something.

    I'ts 9am Christmas morning here now, and it's so stickin' hot already that all my workout plans have been nixed. Will be going for a "swim" this afternoon, or should i say bobbing around the surface with a flotation device to keep me from sinking, like a big ol bloated beached whale :lol:

    We're in a part of Tasmania where it is quite warm ... for Tasmania. We're planning to cycle out to a larger beach with bigger waves and maybe splash around a bit, and then return to the swimming beach near our accommodation to test the waters.

    Absolutely! Doing my Legs workout. Days like tomorrow are when having a home gym is nice. I don't believe any gyms are open in my town tomorrow.

    Yup, probably cardio. Back to weights the day after.

    The past two days have been my usual rest days, so I'll be working out tomorrow morning.

    Walking my dog, he doesn't care what day it is or how crappy it is outside.

    I wasn't planning to, but we aren't doing things until the afternoon and I got a spanking new Fitbit that I can't wait to whip out, so I'm going to treat myself to an early Christmas jog

    Got up at 6:30am, had a shower, than walked the dogs for 40 minutes with my dad. He gave me a fitbit charge 2 for Christmas, and I gave him my old pedometer, so we were competing for steps today. Every hour, on the hour, we walked around the block. I ended up getting over 10,000 steps by lunchtime. Then I had a nap in the afternoon, lol.

    On the same token don't feel guilty to exercise if you don't want to. One day of not exercising won't spoil anything

    On my way out now. It's 31 degrees outside and I never wear a hat so my head will be cold!!!! Out for a 3.5 mile walk.
