Happy\u00a0 Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! Hopefully your meals will be\u00a0both healthy and tasty. My mother is cooking for\u00a025 of us, and I can’t wait until 4:00pm\u00a0when the food gets placed on the table. After playing football and soccer for hours, we’ll have\u00a030\u00a0pounds of\u00a0turkey, giant bowls of stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes (made with skim milk and NO butter), asparagus, rolls, and a massive pot of black beans and rice contributed by my Cuban sister-in-law, Sandy. Hooray! I’ll workout for a solid hour in the morning to get my\u00a0day kicked off right\u00a0 and then cap it off with a long hand-holding walk around the neighborhood with my Mister.\u00a0I think you should do some sweating too!<\/p>\n

I also\u00a0wish you all a pleasant and drama-free experience with your friends and families. Holidays are\u00a0only fun if\u00a0they’re not stressful, so try to keep things bright, light, and pleasant. When a rude comment darts in your direction, count to 10 and plan to calm yourself at the gym the next day.<\/p>\n

Right now, \u00a0I’m not only thankful for my close friends and family. I’m thankful to be able to work for millions and millions of folks like you who genuinely care about yourselves and are constantly working to improve. I’m grateful to be able to contribute in any way to your longer, fitter life.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the day, and then get some sleep.\u00a0Friday we’ve got shopping to do!<\/p>\n

Punches & Kicks,<\/p>\n
