Holiday Cheer

Merry Christmas week and happy Hanukkah!

Are you guys all pumped up for the upcoming holidays? 

I am! 

Which is totally weird because I've forever been known as the Christmas Scrooge...

But, something's different this year. 

I've put a lot of thought into my gifts and I'm even digging the occasional cheesy Christmas song.

(Maybe even a whole Christmas album. Shhh.. don't tell anyone!)

In the next few weeks I'm really looking forward to...

Spending time with family and friends

Lots of good food

The family Yankee swap

Giving Rob his gift

Cooking from my new cookbook

Reading this book

Skiing

Running outside in the cold 

(I don't get to run outside very often in the winter -- it's dark when I wake up and dark when I leave work)

Relaxinggggg......

  Oh.... And I'm also excited for my trip to Costa Rica with Rob! :)

Last night I did this kettlebell workout with some HIIT and I'm feeling it today.

Have you tried using kettlebell yet? If not, you should!
