Christmas!!!

I have to confess, Christmas is getting in the way of exercise.  With 5 grandchildren and 3 adults coming to stay with us for a week this Christmas, I have a lot of prep work to do.  Jack and I almost have our shopping done and I have been wrapping gifts like a mad-woman, but that has kept me up late every night this week.  It makes it really hard to get up and exercise in the morning.  And did I mention that it is cold?  It was 12 degrees in Kansas City this morning!  I did make it to the gym for a 40 minute run on the treadmill, though.  I'm working it, but this month will be tough.

I finished reading Grain Brain on Monday and have decided to follow his recommended eating program, to the letter, for four weeks.  That will start on Sunday.  I will let you know how that goes.  The author is a neurologist and a nutritionist, which is an interesting combination.  I am recommitting to my health, with an added interest in maintaining my brain health through a combination of diet and exercise.  Since I am going to live to be 100, I sure don't want to go nuts. 

I am going to re-read the book and blog about it, similar to the way I re-read and blogged about Younger Next Year.  It will help the message sink in for me.  Do you guys want me to blog about the book here, or on my blog?  I can do it in either space, but I don't want to take up the space here if y'all aren't interested in reading about it.  Let me know what you think!!  I would certainly be interested in your comments regarding the book.

I hope everyone is doing well!!  It was great to see everyone over Thanksgiving.
