Hoops Yo!

Today I played basketball for the first time in years. It was just a game of 21 with a couple of guys I've never seen before, but I had a blast.  I was terrible - barely made any shots, but I stole the ball a bunch of times and kept these guys on their toes! Thirty minutes later I left - soaked in sweat and happy as can be. Sure as hell beats the treadmill.

Holiday Hell

Ok, so I haven't written for a while, but it's not because I'm not working out anymore. I am still getting to the gym about 4 - 5 days a week, I've just been totally swamped at work and at home. It's November. The holidays are approaching at warp speed - the first of which is one of my favorites - Thanksgiving. Now I know we have a few weeks before the indulgent holiday arrives, so let's use this time to fight evil. You know Thanksgiving is coming and, soon after that, the holiday parties will be in full swing. Take these next three weeks to dedicate yourself to your fitness goals. I want to be prepared. I love Thanksgiving for many reasons. Not all of which are centered around food and drink. I love hanging out with family, watching football games and toggling back and forth to the Macy's Day Parade to see what's new this year. I even love that my gym is closed on Thanksgiving day, giving me permission to not work out and to not feel bad about it either...
