Post-Christmas WODs

Welcome back- were you as gluttonous as I was these last few days?!

Instead of posting a WOD or two, I want to direct you over to the Fab Ms. Jen Cardella and Ms. Crystal Nelson who have posted some fun WODs to do over the break. Or if you are feeling extra motivated, check out Coach Megan's Christmas WOD!

If you are going to be traveling over the next few days and need something to occupy your mind, check out Robb Wolf's Podcasts: The Paleolithic Solution. I have been listening to them the past few days and it is truly great stuff. So much good information about Paleo lifestyle. He devoted an entire episode to supplements which I am very interested in.... check it out!

I hope you had a very happy and peaceful holiday!

The "New Normal"

Guilty. Caught on film. You can see what I've been up to. I have been out of town visiting family and attending my cousin's wedding- sorry I've been a little MIA!

I have also had a glimpse into Christmas Future. See, this is my first holiday season of eating clean/Zone/Paleo. After the past 5 days of being on "vacation" i.e. "out- of- the- usual -routine- and -away -from- my- own -kitchen", I got a reality check. If I don't plan and mentally prepare myself, I will be a bloated mess come January 1, my performance will suffer, and I will just feel like crap!

It's sooooo easy to just say "one piece of cake won't hurt me." Don't get me wrong, I do believe in moderation, and I do believe you can have your cake, so to speak. But it definitely takes a huge amount of willpower and planning ahead. I don't have a very good relationship with Willpower...

It was also hard to be "the weird one" eating weird things and not eating "normal" things. It really is a New Normal (thanks Erika- you have a real way with words!) I was super excited to eat this for breakfast (leftovers from the night before):

I think my brother almost barfed when he saw me eating brussel sprouts for breakfast....But to me, that's my "New Normal!"

Is this your first holiday season of living a more healthy lifestyle? How do you plan on resisting temptation?

What is your "New Normal?!"
