It has been over a month since I last posted on here. I get into the routine of doing what I'm doing and this just seems to slip out of my mind. I think about blogging but then I feel like nothing I have to say is important enough to type or interesting enough to make others want to read!

Thanksgiving will be here in 2 days. I'm not sure I can handle another day in the gym. My muscles are screaming for a rest day and my feet wouldn't move faster than a speed walk if I was walking on hot coals. So, today will be a rest day!

Here are a few helpful tips to survive the mounds of food and the piles of sweets that will be tempting on Thursday:

1. Get up and run/workout. 
Stick with your routine. There's no such thing as, "I'm not going to the gym because it's Thanksgiving." or "I'm just taking these days off." Hit the pavement. You won't regret it.

2. Nutrition Awareness.
Stick to the sweet potatoes, corn and turkey or ham. Give yourself a generous portion of the garden salad. Avoid gravy and sauces and toss that dinner roll to Aunt Gladys!

3. Get up and move!
Dinner is over. Your stomach is full. Time for a nap! OR......go play with the kids. Volunteer to wash dishes. Do whatever you have to do to keep moving. Once you sit down, game over. Keep your fitbit turned on and hit those 10,000 steps!
