It’s time to get back in shape after…..*whatever* happened over the Holidays to make you feel less than your optimal buff self 😉
Maybe you’ve just been really busy, or worn out from your Christmas and New Year’s adventures, or – like me – you’ve been laid low by seasonal cold and flu?
Or maybe some of you – also like me – can’t remember how to dress yourself to go anywhere if red, green and glitter aren’t the dress code?
Well, you’d better get over it pretty quick, because February is almost here, and you know what that means?
Resort travel and Superbowl parties. That’s right, and you won’t be able to hide under that bulky “ugly” sweater for all of them.
Some Resort travel will require swimwear (ack!!) and some gatherings may even require tight jeans or the dreaded slinky dress.
And then there are all of those relatives and former classmates – perhaps even at the same resorts and gatherings…..
In North Carolina, it’s pretty much always warm enough to get outdoors and exercise – even in the Winter.
So, now that the cheesecake and chocolate truffles have been put away, I’ll start getting serious again 😉

Honestly, though I feel like a slacker, I never really stopped hiking.
That said, ever since last June, when I returned from my epic hiking trip to Scotland, I HAVE slacked off on my indoor cross-training – and it shows!
I worked my butt off for months prior to that trip, so I’d be able to do the Ben Nevis summit hike without hurting myself – and it was great!
But that was more than a few months ago, and now I could use a quick tune-up before slipping into that slinky party dress or Spring resort wear.
Keep reading to learn more about how I’m doing a quick tune-up for my upcoming trips and gatherings – and how you could, too!
