Holiday Heavylifting

  As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would like to urge you all to remember to still take care of your body throughout the holidays.  Now I know not everyone can do as many pull-ups as I (and with a smile nonetheless), but there are many other things you can do to keep your body in tip-top eating shape.
   Oh you thought this was going to be a post about not overindulging, and continuing an exercise regimen throughout the holiday season?  Um....no.  This is about taking care of your body in order to accomplish maximum stuffage.
   First, you should take the next few weeks to hard-core diet and exercise.  I mean go all out.  Crunches to keep the stomach muscles in tip-top shape to enable max stretching, push-ups to keep up your turkey carving and fork holding arms lean and mean, and some long-distance running to help the lungs learn to cope under stress (such as, say, the stress of eating one too many pieces of pecan pie, thus inhibiting breathing capabilities).
    This way, you will not only be able to go up against even the biggest holidays spreads without having to throw in the towel, but you can look the same after all this indulging as you did before the pre-indulging exercise.  Nothing lost, but nothing gained either.
