Hi Folks!

Hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving!  I spent my very first Thanksgiving with my in-laws in San Jose, CA.  I can’t speak for them, but I had a great time!  Mike O’Hearn and Sherlyn Roy also happened to be in town during the same weekend so we all got to hang out and hit Dave & Busters.  I had the misfortune of playing Sherlyn in Ms. Pac Man and got absolutely destroyed.  What she did to me should seriously be illegal.  I’m not 100% convinced that she isn’t the love child of Mr. and Ms. Pac Man!

Anyway, like most people around the holidays, I managed to eat quite a bit and I only got to the gym once during the weekend.  My body part of choice was back with some ab work at the end.  Truth-be-told, I’ve been a little disappointed with my training over the last week.  I feel like I allowed the holidays to throw me off.  Some people would say that it’s the holidays and not to worry about it but my feeling is that given the fact that it’s the holidays and that most of us are not only going to be eating more, but probably not very clean, the best thing we can possibly do for ourselves is to get to the gym and push ourselves that much harder.

So my challenge for myself, and perhaps a challenge you would all like to take on, is to push myself that much harder during this holiday season and not put things off until the New Year.  As tempting as it is to overeat and be lazy, my goal is to push through that laziness so that no matter what I have going on, I still find my way to the gym.  Let’s hope this works!
