Bump up the cardio! Squeeze in an extra workout or two. You heard me Who needs to feel guilty for all the extra scrumptious holiday bites. A nibble, a spoonful, a sliver and the calories add up! Plus, for me, I have to F-I-G-H-T the urge to resist letting one "bad" food meal turn into a day of bad food, a few days of bad food yada yada yada you get the BIG (no pun intended) picture!

A brisk walk, a half hour of raking leaves, 15 extra minutes on the eliptical and or the bonus portion of your exercise DVDs will keep you on the weight loss fast track throughout the holiday season.

Extra credit: Post your Thanksgiving week exercise schedule here and log in EVERY night with your progress and readjusted goals (should you miss a workout - say if you're giving birth to twins).

Monday - AM and PM mini cardio blast, full weight workout

Tuesday - AM/PM cardio 40 minute sessions

Wednesday - AM and PM mini cardio blast, full weight workout

Thursday - AM/PM cardio 40 minute sessions, afternoon walk with family

Friday - AM/PM cardio 40 minute sessions - 10 minutes extra per session if I eat like a horse on T-day

Saturday - AM and PM mini cardio blast, full weight workout

It's an exercise heavy week in anticipation of dips, pies, stuffing, wine blah blah blah yum yum yum!

Tag, you're it!

Wednesday done. I'm registered for my 4 mile walk tomorrow but I have to go alone. Oh, well...at least I registered anyway.

I'm happy to report a couple of coworkers are joining me after all. I'm much happier!

Wednesday done.

I did WATP this morning and I have to say your enthusiasm is catching! I will take a walk tomorrow morning before anyone gets up and since I'm the boss of the house I'll make everyone take a walk after supper BEFORE pie. No walk, no pie!

Went to Yoga class and ready to meet with the trainer this afternoon.

Wednesday Done.

We climbed part way up Mission Peak.

It is a 5 hour hike to the top and back... and we just went for 1.5 hours.

It is steep... 2000+ feet in 3.5 miles

Here is photos posted by somebody I don't know.

Looks great Denise! Making me want to hike this weekend...hmmm..wonder if I could find any takers for Sunday. Might have to try...

Good job on the extra training! I myself was a giant lump in my easy chair last night so good for you!

Ok I went for a walk during my break.. I had to go slower though, the slush was just nasty to walk in.... I hate snow.

That was me you felt lurking. Drawing inspiration from you all to go and do my evening workout. Thank you!

I notice that a lot changing going on....but rather than dropping it from our schedules, we are adapting to those changes. HIPEE for our side.

Did nothing yesterday - well I did do a lot of cleaning.

Leaving in 10 mins to go for a hike with ds.
