DECEMBER FITNESS CHALLENGE: CARDIO TRIATHOLON
December 20th at 8:30a.m.-10:30 a.m.at Five Seasons on Snider Road
Ladies we are taking our challenge “indoors” this month! We have organized a Cardio Triathlon with 3 different fitness levels:
1. 45 minute triathlon: (15 minutes x 3 different cardio machines)
2. 60 minute triathlon: (20 minutes x 3 different cardio machines)
3. 90 minute triathlon: (30 minutes x 3 different cardio machines)
4. “On Your Own” option to do whatever you feel like that morning
Anyone who is interested in participating in the triathlons must be in the lobby at 8:25a.m. to register so we can all be on our machines by 8:45a.m. If you are not registered by then we will assume you chose the “on your own” option. There is a $10 guest fee and we have 15 spots reserved. The first 15 who send an email to pamelavance@cinci.rr.com before December 18th will have a spot held for them that morning. Please note that you are welcome to stay longer and use this facility or visit afterward and grab something to eat at their restaurant with our group.
Ladies, I realize that none of us really have the time for this challenge right now and that when our lives get too busy and stressful it is always our “workout” and the “time for me” that goes first. Don’t let that happen this season! You need to take charge of your own health and remember that no one can exercise for you. Stay the course and break that cycle of self-sabotage! Commit today!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... To Dump Some Plump!
The holidays are a hard time of the year to dump any of the extra plump. How is it possible to take off weight, when all there is to eat at those holiday parties are the stuff we try and stay away from all year? Right now, maintenance seems more like it. But it is possible to go to that office party, the neighborhood get-together and come out feeling less guilty. Many of the magazines give hundreds of suggestions on how to curb that sweet-tooth and not pack on the extra carbohydrates. Some of the most easy to do are:
1. Switch out those potatoes for extra roasted or steamed vegetables.
2. Pile up on the salad plate, and forgo the glaze on your ham.
3. Switch out the croissant for a multi-grain or wheat roll and pass on the butter.
4. Hit the fruit and cheese platter right before the dessert table. The extra fiber and protein will curb your desire to eat all the frosted sugar cookies on the plate.
5. Chocolate is a good alternative to just cookies and cheesecake. A little goes a long way and the darker the better.
By using some of these ideas you can cut way down on your calorie intake and wake up the next day not feeling like you over did it. Have an uplifting and guilt-free holiday! Next Month: Lighten your cold day meals and soups! Siri
