Four days left...

We spend all month getting ready, and we know about it a year in advance, so why do we have so much left to do at the last minute?? Well, it wouldn't be Christmas if we were all organized and everyone was calm - it's part of the excitement and anticipation. And hey, excitement burns calories! Your heart rate is up from all that running around, burning off party food, office treats and that last sip of eggnog. However...being excited and hanging out at the mall aren't going to burn near enough calories to balance out all that fudge or the cheese ball - you have to fit in your workouts; maybe not daily, but as daily as you can make it. Working out also relieves stress, gets you out of the house and lets you be your normal self for an hour. I'm pretty sure they don't play Christmas music at the gym, so for once, you might even find yourself lingering on the treadmill! Melissa
