Gain 10 pounds this Christmas?....Not this time!




Last year during Christmas, I gained a full 10 pounds in a week and never could get it off all year long. I don't want that to happen again this year. So, I am thinking of many things to do to control my eating habits and things I can do to maintain my weight this Christmas. This year for Christmas, I asked Santa Claus for a Weider cable weight system(the one in the picture above). Mostly in the winter, I should spend a lot of time on weights to get stronger before the bike season begins next spring. Also to get some fresh air and stay in shape during the winter, I decided what to do is go to Fairview Canyon every weekend and snowshoe all over the place, hike, climb hills on the snowy hills along the skyline will keep my heart pumping and keep me happy during all those depressing winter months. I only downhill ski like 4 times a winter at a ski resort so that means I have to look for something else to do that is closer to home because it is so far away and so expensive. I tried cross country skiing one year and I didn't like it, then I tried snowshoeing, and really enjoyed it. Also, you can take a date snowshoeing because it is easy.....and fun. Well, I got Redfeather snowshoes and they are only good for walking and hiking up hills, not running. If you want to run, you have to get special snowshoes for running. I don't like to run anyway, so I am good, hiking up hills is funner, you get a better view at the top of the hill anyways.

I got to watch for those craaaaaazy snowmobilers! Last time I went, they were everywhere! I have find a spot where they won't be at. Fairview Canyon is big, so I am sure I can find a cool destination.

Sounds like a good plan. I suppose I should say I will do all those things with you Daniel, but I think I choose to sit in front of my beautiful fireplace all winter. the mom

Well mom, the weight system will be downstairs in the back of the family room anyways, so you can lift weights in front of the fire. Same thing.

I like the snowshoe idea. It seems inexpensive and a good workout. I hope you have been good all year...cause Santa will have to be REAL good to you! It will be nice to have something to work out on in the winter months

Muscle weighs more than fat...

I know, I am not going for the bulk. I am going for the strength. High reputations and low weight. I know you are going for low reputations and high weight. But I want to get stronger without gaining any weight. You can build muscle and lose the fat. The fat would turn into muscle.

I do both, low reps high weight.. high reps lower weight...cardio, whatever.

fat weighs just as much as fat
