Tis the season for parties, celebrations, get togethers...food is
everywhere all the time this time of year, and it isn't always the
healthy stuff.
The bad news: the average person expects to gain weight during the holidays, and does so.
The good news: YOU don't have to!
This
holiday season, make a deal with yourself: Do your best to eat
healthfully and clean six days out of the week. And pick ONE day a week
to indulge.
Now let's be clear here, indulge does not
mean "eat the entire cheesecake followed by a chocolate fondue chaser
with a bottle of champagne to wash it all down." Nope, not gonna
happen. Right?
What I do mean is: decide that you will
have a small piece of that cheesecake, enjoy a glass of wine, and take a
day to not count calories.
Of course even on an
indulgent day you will still want to get those veggies in and hydrate -
in fact, you should hydrate extra to get the extra sodium flowing right
out of your body. But take a day to indulge, and celebrate.
Happy December :)

2013 Weekly Challenge #47: The Tough Turkey Express
The number one question I hear this past week at Bootcamp was "Do we have Bootcamp on Thanksgiving?"
The short answer: No, there are no bootcamps scheduled for Thanksgiving Day.
The long answer: No, there are no bootcamps scheduled for Thanksgiving Day BUT you can, and should, still get a workout in!!
This Thanksgiving, treat yourself to the Tough Turkey Express Workout! It will only take a few minutes, and its a great way to start off your holiday weekend.
Here's the set (repetitions in parenthesis are for beginner, intermediate and advanced, respectively):
Pushups - box-style, on your knees or on your toes (20, 25, 30)
Dips (20,25,30)
Butt Bumps (20, 25, 30)
Wall Sit (60 seconds for all levels)
Flutter Kick Hold 10 kick, 10 hold (3 sets, 3 sets, 4 sets)
Need refresher for some of the moves? See the video here.
YOUR CHALLENGE: Repeat the Tough Turkey Express Workout circuit 3 to 4 times in a row. Your body will love you for it!
Have a happy, and HEALTHY, Thanksgiving!

2013 Weekly Challenge #46: What have you learned?
Life is about learning and growing. When you know better, you can do
better, right? This week, we are thinking about lessons learned.
Think about the important lessons YOU have learned this year, and how it has changed how you think, how you act, how you feel and then...
Share it with someone!
Join us on the Facebook page and tell your Mama Bootcamp family what lesson you are most thankful for. Could be just the lesson one of your sisters needs to learn, too.
Have a great week!

2013 Weekly Challenge #45: Who Are You Thankful For?
Our month of Thanks Giving continues!
Last week, we told the world (ok, Facebook) what we were thankful for. This week's challenge is about giving thanks to someone who may or may not still be in your life who helped you. You may have never told them, but now is your opportunity.
Our Main Mama Lorri Ann says: "Mine was Miss Machado, my 8th grade teacher. She believed in me, and encouraged me as my English teacher to write and express myself. Having a chaotic and painful home life, I looked forward to her words of encouragement to me. She never knew how big an influence she was on my life."
WHO are you thankful for? If that person is still in your life, give him or her a call and say so! If you can't do it in person or by email, post on Facebook to tell us all about it. You may just make someone's day!
