Fitness Friday....Holiday Fitness

Oh yes it is that time of year again!!!  That time when desserts are making their way to our counter tops and when time could be as valuable as liquid gold...or gasoline depending on where you live!  The trick is getting through this time of year without a layer of insulation like you are ready to take a long winter's nap...and some (me included) want to lose during this time!  There are two challenges that I have done for several years that have really helped me to stay motivated and in my jeans through the holiday season!  Seriously check them out...you will NOT be sorry!!!

Monica from Run Eat Repeat is hosting Pile on the Miles again this year.  It starts on November 1 and lasts until December 1st.  It's literally how many miles you can pile on during that month so that the lbs don't pile on instead.  Head over and sign up!!!

Amanda over at Run to the Finish is again hosting the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge this year.  I love this challenge too since you get points for not only miles but also weight training, eating veggies, and just moving your body!  Head on over to check it out....and don't forget to tell her that Fancy Nancy sent you!!

How do you keep the added lbs away during this time of year???

  1. I'm mindful of what I eat! I don't 'stuff' my face because food is there for the taking (old me)...I want to enjoy every single little thing I try! :)

  3. So I'm a little nervous for this holiday season because last year was the 1st year EVER I had put on holiday weight I never new I could put on 4lbs in such a short period of time. This year I will have just finished my IM and will be a little burnt out on training, so I'm going to need to get creative and find other ways to workout so I don't burn out and blow up! :-)

  4. Thankfully, I've become more of a mindful eater over the years. That and holiday food doesn't really appeal to me too much. Not sure why...

  8. I think that it is great that she is doing something like that but It makes more interesting to run when you are following something like that.
