What if the holidays were more about experiences than material gifts? This episode begins with a personal holiday greeting and a story about overcoming norovirus just in time to embark on a meaningful family adventure—a 10-day ocean trip that promises to create cherished memories. Join me as I talk about this shift in focus, inspired by my daughter's hospital stay last year, and how it's reshaped our family's holiday traditions. Meanwhile, Chris, Tammy, and the entire gym team are stepping up to ensure everything runs smoothly while I'm away. We're also shaking things up at the gym with fresh event ideas that focus on community rather than alcohol, and there's buzz about an unofficial Christmas party thanks to some spirited gym-goers. Plus, you'll get the scoop on our holiday schedule, including class updates around the festive season. As the holiday season approaches, it's a challenge to maintain healthy habits, but I've got some motivational insights to help you stay on track. In this episode, we celebrate our Committed Club members who are nearing an impressive 12-month streak, with exciting plans already in the works for 2025. My pride in our community's dedication to health and fitness can't be overstated. Although I may miss hosting a session next week due to my family vacation, rest assured, I'll keep everyone updated and inspired. Remember to make wise food choices, keep those workouts consistent, and stay committed to your health goals. Until next time, stay fit and enjoy the holidays!
