After all the decadent sweet and treats from cookies to pie to that Christmas ham it’s time to survey the damage and get back on track. Stepping on the scale after days of indulgence can be a nerve wracking thing but I’m here to tell you it’s not as bad as it looks. I’m a frequent lurker on fitness message boards and I’m already seeing the panicked posts that read: “Oh no! I gained 5 pounds in TWO DAYS!” Or “How could I lose 10 pounds in 2 months and gain . . . → Read More: Post Holiday B-L-O-A-T Looking for something to do outdoors with the family over the holiday break?

In addition to it being freezing outside, there’s tons of shopping, baking, and stressing out to be done. Thinking about diet and exercise can be challenging in the middle of December. I tend to beat myself up a bit if I miss a scheduled run or if I snitch too much cookie dough from the mixing bowl. Why do so many people always give the gift of food at Christmas?

This time of year is known for indulgence but there are ways to avoid blowing all of your calories on drinks if you plan accordingly and know what to ask for.

Read on to see how Bruce dealt with a knee injury that kept him sidelined for most of the year. So what’s your injury story? In early June, I went for a jog along the lakefront.
