Monday Before Christmas

'Twas the Monday before Christmas and all through the house- not a creature was dieting, not even a mouse....Damn right. No one is on their game right now. Holiday parties. Airport lines. Traffic. People with Star Wars fever munching on candy lightsaber...Here's the thing, it's your passion that trumps it all...You have to get obsessed and stay obsessed,  and find your passion for fitness.

Truthfully, it's so awesome to be able to move well, to have energy, and feel good. Even that soreness you get after lifting is nice... Recently, I've had a messed up ankle. I rolled it on some stairs stupidly, wearing flip flops. It hurt massively and turned blue but I still walked on it and travelled to NY and Boston over Thanksgiving. Reinjured it. There was a pop :/ So now I'm actually icing it and wearing a brace and taking Advil...But the point is, if you can move, you're so lucky. To me, exercise and diet facilitate life. It's been a tough year overall- a lot of changes and challenges, but some real accomplishments too. And 2016 should bring more opportunities to shine and kick ass.

Have a great holiday week!
