The Aftermath
Feel like a stuffed turkey? Now that the food fest is over (for the most part), and our heads are beginning to clear (like our friends’ Katie and Beckett), what are some of your aspirations before the new year? Try not to let the “danger zone” between Thanksgiving and New Years take you off course. We have one month left in 2008. What are you working on?
Check out some Post-Thanksgiving Video Commentary from your friends in Bootcamp.
Very very close to a dark side t-shirt!
Danger zone? Heck no. This time of year is the sprint to the finish line.
My cousin used to tell me when I am running and I start to get tired, to speed up – actually to sprint – then when I feel like I am about to die, I can slow down to the pace I was at before (when I thought I was tired). Supposedly it would feel like rest compared to the sprinting. I’m not sure if there is any science there (Steve? Anyone? Does that work?), but it was a fun challenge to try to sprint when I wanted to quit – in running and metaphorically!
So, no danger zone, I’m trying to pick up the pace for the last 5 weeks of ’08, sprint into ’09, you know?
The last week, we’ve been feasting on things we don’t get much of on the west coast. Now I feel like I did pre-IC. We can’t wait to get back and sweat it off and burn it out.
Thanksgiving itself wasn’t the problem but it started the “food fest” mindset. I made beef enchiladas on Friday and chicken enchiladas on Sunday. Thank God it’s a new week and time to start over on a Monday morning! We just need to keep showing up and working it out despite the turkey, enchiladas and Christmas cookies!
It’s becoming an epidemic. I can’t stop eating. I will have to fast for a week, maybe two.
I’m in Mexico in a bikini in exactly 3 weeks. I am working on being refined-carb free for the rest of the month. Well, with the exception of some wine at my husband’s holiday party. I mean, you can’t expect me to get through that with just water, can you?
