Aikidoman's Group - FULL! (Page 3)

Our accountant brought a X-mas sack full of Hershey's chocolates, literally a sack, it weighs like 10 lbs. I..............must............................resist!!!

hagakure - 2008-12-22 11:05 AM I seem to be keeping off the Xmas food so far. Problem is I seem to be getting through the alcohol we bought in for the holidays at an alarming rate. My weight seems steady though. I guess I'm starting to rely on the the beer calories for training.

I had cookies.  I'll be glad when the temptation is over....

I don't even consider it temptation any more.  If I want it, I have it.  I just know how much extra work I'll have to do to counter any bad dietary behavior.

So, how is eveyone?  Big plans for the holidays?

My company is making us take the week off between Christmas and New Years (economy), but I don't mind it.  It will give me plenty of time to get outside and do some running/biking during the day.

I am on call this week so I have to stick around but I will be making my way out of town this Sunday to visit my family and might even do a couple of cross-country skiing workouts while there.  Until then, since there's quite a bit of snow here, indoor drainer rides are in order but I don't mind winter running at all. 

I'm eating peppernuts for breakfast, making Chex mix tonight, and making Grandpa's peanut butter cups on Christmas.  I'm well past temptation and gave in whole heartedly.  Thank goodness Christmas only comes around once a year.  I'm not stepping on a scale until the new year.  Then I'll grump and groan about the extra 10 I have to work off.

Great news...I found a local gym that offers yoga, pilates, and swing/salsa dancing amongst other classes for only $10 a month and no contract.  This is awesome.  The base only offers one class after 1530 and it's not one my body could handle yet.  I'm stoked.  Dancing and pilates - here I come.

aidana - 2008-12-23 9:21 AM Yeah, thanks for rubbing it in kido! I have to work tomorrow. Then rushing home to bake some beer bread and spinich dip for the fam....(I know, such a traditional mexican dish!) Christmas day, my son is with his dad so, I'll be visiting some friends. Took the day off on Friday and probably just run some errands...er....run on the treadmill! I'm doing ok with the nutrition today. Wheat bagel for breakfast and now eating rice/veggies/chicken i made last night.

That's not bad.  I still have half a day tomorrow...  I got all my winter riding gear in the mail yesterday, so I might go out over the long weekend - if I can escape the family and friend...

Hey all!!!  I have been a very naughty boy. My diet has sucked big time and i have not been working out. :0( 

i am planning on a 1600 meter swim tonight, right after i go to the supermarket for x-mas dinner stuff. I am cooking Filet Mignon for X-mas with a whole buncha trimmin's.  After these holidays i am getting in total forward gear with no more excuses!!!!

Aidonna, i think i have come up with your nickname, i will try it out on ya later!!  ;0)

A little bump action...

Well, almost time for Christmas.  Half day tomorrow and then vacation for a while.  My new plan starts on Monday.  FUN!  Just in time to get me off my arse...

Looking forward to getting focused after the new year...

Joyeux Noël everyone and have fun!  I will indulge in good food tonight and tomorrow and repeat the cycle next week but will somehow find time to train in between.

Two Christmas gifts from me to me today: I signed up for a 10 miler race as well as a half-marathon clinic set to begin January 16th.  The 10 miler will fit right into my half-mary training as it is scheduled on April 5 and the half-mary is on May 10th.

P.S.  Tonight's desert will be the awesome raspberry tiramisu I made. 

Nice work signing up Nats!!! 

Merry Chrismas, everyone!
