Holiday workouts

Hello and Happy Holidays everyone!! Just wanted to check in real quick with you all! I'm taking a couple days off workouts to help my family prepare to host Christmas (normally I would workout anyway but taking that time to workout causes stress for others around me over the next few days...). I know my trusty accountability partner is working out though!! I'll get back on track as of Thursday evening, do 5 days of T25 and then a few scheduled rest days before starting a full round of Body Beast!! Woohoo!! What are your holiday workout plans? 

Easy and delicious salmon!

I looooove salmon so I always love new salmon recipes! Thank you www.sparkrecipes.com for this great one! Soooo good!!

Ingredients
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (NOT pancake syrup!) or honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2-3 cloves minced garlic
12 ounces fresh or thawed salmon

Directions
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a gallon-size ziploc bag, shake it up, and then add the salmon. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for an hour, turning after half an hour. Pour the salmon and the marinade into a baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven, covered with foil, for 15 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily at the thickest part. Enjoy! Makes (4) 3 ounce servings.

Start 2014 with me!

Hi everyone!! How's the holiday prep going? Stressed yet? Yeah... Me too. Let's take a second, shall we? 

Deep breath iiiiiiin

And out. 

Repeat. 

Awesome. Moving on ;-)

I don't know how you are about getting through the stress of the holidays. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my family and the time I get to spend with them. But we all know there's a lot that goes into planning that special time together and good or bad, stress is stress. Not to mention, it's tough to fit in all those workouts and healthy eating. Which is a GREAT start to the most popular of resolutions - lose weight. 

So how do I recommend getting thru it? Have a plan. I know that I'll stress a lot less if I plan and make lists now and plan my reward - a quiet, movies and take out weekend as soon as the new year hits followed by a new workout cycle. I've got a weekend of movies planned for the beginning of the year and then I start a fresh new cycle of Body Beast on January 6! Simple enough, right? And that'll make it more likely that I'll stick to it... That and the accountability! 

Sound like a plan that could work for you? I've got a few spots left in my first accountability group of 2014! Want a spot or to know more? Let me know at gabriella@addictedwithgabriella.com!!
