Holiday Health

Maybe I'm the only one that finds that 

my weight slowly or sometimes not so slowly

creeps up around the time the snow hits the ground

and the holiday's begin.

Although in talking with many of my girlfriends, 

I know I'm not the only one who gains a bit of my

own personal winter coat.  This year I've been determined

to not let that happen.  I've been trying {trying being the key word} to be conscious of

when I'm no longer hungry and having moderation with the sweets.

Another thing that is so so difficult for me is wanting to get up

early in the mornings to go workout, especially on a day like today 

where it was snowing.  So I've been getting creative with my workouts.

If I haven't made it to the gym I've done a workout like the one below at home, 

or I make sure to take snow boots to work and go walk for about half an hour

on my lunch break or I run up and down the stairs wherever I can. This ensures me some

calorie burning even if I don't make it to the gym

and from my experience it's the little things that add up to make big differences.
