I can’t believe it.
The video proves it. I didn’t lose one single pound…but what’s even more important is that after my wine, food and dessert weekend…I DIDN’T EVEN GAIN A POUND! Wooo Hoooo!!!
My main goals for the month of December are 2 fold. First, for my personal goals, I’d like to lose a little weight, despite the nagging fact that we are smack down right in the middle of the holiday season. Instead of going through my detox program or my 21-day eat clean (aka: rapid fat loss solution). I’m eating healthy food, but I’m also not depriving myself of anything (hence the coffee on the weekends and even a few desserts at a special dinner or party).
The second goal is that I want to show you that it is possible to enjoy the holidays and maintain your weight. This weekend would be a great example of this. I didn’t say dessert was off limits, but I made sure not to eat very much of it. If I knew we were going to have a big dinner, then lunch was smaller to compensate. And no matter what…I always started off with a healthy breakfast. (Well…except for Monday which were croissants and coffee in our cottage…but I really paid for that one with a big headache and unstable blood sugar the rest of the day…)
So, I hope you find this helpful.
Exercise:
I couldn’t get a videographer (aka Miguel) today, so I went on a long run (long for me). I ran the trail in Los Gatos starting on the Main street bridge, then along the pipeline, then up 3 hills, then all the way back into town. During the hills portion of the run, I did 10 30-second hill repeats with anywhere from 30-seconds to a minute of rest. It’s a great way for me to break up a long run and get some strong bursts of power in there to help boost my metabolism and tone my thighs. You should try it!
Tomorrow I have a KILLER workout planned, so stay tuned!
