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.
