I hope the kid in me never grows up, because I still get anxious, excited butterflies around Christmas-time. I'm looking forward to a nice birthday celebration with my family, and then a killer Christmas. We usually treat my birthday as a cocktail party, with no formal dinner but instead lots of yummy appetizers. My favorites are the awesome holiday punch my mom makes and bread bowl dip. Then on Christmas Day we have Belgian waffles in the morning and a special holiday dinner with a homemade cheesecake to round out the meal.
And then, of course, the 5 extra pounds and coma-like state awaits me on the 26th. However, as per the strategy I've previously outlined, this is NOT going to become another Thanksgiving week disaster. I'll allow myself 2 days of holiday fun, and then back to the plan.
In fact...I'm going to begin P90X right on Monday 12/27 in conjunction with my 20-week marathon training. I've been looking for a good way to mix up my cross-training, so I've decided to revisit the program that got me hooked on fitness in the first place. So my DVD player is all fired up and I'm getting ready to BRING IT in a little less than a week. Anyone else thinking about doing P90X too? If so, let's all start together!
