This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

The Fat Man
I suppose no one wants to see a skinny Santa, but there IS a reason why he's so fat and Rudolph is so buff - who's doing all the work? There's Rudolph at the front; he's sweating, his heart rate's up, and his blood is pumping so hard it makes his nose red! Then look at Santa - he's just sitting in the sleigh, all bundled up, back against the presents (stuffed animals in front to make him more comfortable), holding the reins and ho ho hoing. And, the other reindeer get bigger the further back they are, so really Rudolph, Comet, and Cupid are doing most of the work. It'll pay off though, when they get back to the North Pole and all of the other reindeer are envious of their powerful physiques. Do you want to be a reindeer or do you want to have to stuff yourself into a red suit come Christmas? If you want to be like Rudolph, you have to push yourself - work out hard and don't be afraid to get your heart rate up and sweat like crazy - it won't do you much good to just show up, sit on some machine and hold onto the rails like you're going to fall off. If you do have to put on the red suit anyway, the best present you could give yourself is a pillow - Rudolph will apppreciate it too! Melissa
