Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has had a good holiday season. We're about to enter the new year and the cold winter months. I have certainly had exercise issues over the holidays and have eaten my fair share of Christmas goodies. I'm now back at work after being out four months on maternity leave (VERY tough to go back), and am struggling with kids not sleeping as much as I want to. I'm hoping to get my energy back after I get back into a daily routine (and more sleep hopefully). How has everyone done over the holidays?

Ok folks, new year, new decade, new start. I've started by tuning up my diet. The good thing about eating so lax over the holidays is that now I'm pretty burned out on the sweets. My next step is hopefully figure a workable exercise program I can do during my work week. I'm also planning on catching the new season of the Biggest Loser for that added motivation - if they can do it we definitely can, right?

Motivation is sometimes very elusive but we have to come up with creative ways of making it surface. Try new things, get new goals. I challenge everyone to pick one big fitness goal this year, whether it be to run / walk a 5 K (or more if so inclined), or do an organized bike ride, or do a big hike in the mountains in the summer, etc. It doesn't have to be an organized event, just something you have to work up to doing. And by all means, make it fun!

I'd love to see everyone (yes, everyone) post on this blog as to how they're doing (or not doing) over the holidays and their fitness plans for the next year. We can do this!!!
