Thanksgiving fullness

Thanksgiving has past. Some of us, ran on Thanksgiving day, some of us did not. ( I did!) Some of us spent hours walking and shopping (unfortunately that was me) and most of us spent lots of time eating.

Now if you were good, you kept to your calorie intake and did not go back for seconds.

Some of you were not so good and that is okay, it is a holiday after all and it is sometimes hard to resist a 2nd helping or dessert.

Before Christmas hits, get back into your work out routine.  Try to get some of those unwanted pounds off before you have to do the whole eat with the family routine again.

Go for 30 min runs/walks
Do 30 mins of your favorite video
and WATCH what you eat from now until Christmas!
