Kent Ninomiya - Over the past week I have eaten enough junk food to last a lifetime. Combine that with an extreme lack of activity and you get an expanding waistline. Sure, I thought about putting down the pie and getting off the couch, but it never amounted to anything. My holiday gift to myself is to take it easy over the holidays. I indulge in extra food and watch more football. I only make a token effort at exercise. I do this knowing that I earned it. I plan ahead and try to work out more before the holidays. I go in slim and come out fat and rested. I also know that I will work extra hard after the holidays to burn off what I gained. Some will say this is a bad cycle but I disagree. The body needs rest now and then. A week of indulgence can kick start any exercise program and heal nagging injuries. It’s also fun to let yourself go for a bit. If you have discipline you can work it off in January. There’s not much else to do in January anyway. Kent Ninomiya
