George,
That is right! not one baked good. My secret weapon was Lindt 85% dark chocolate. It has ony 5 grams of sugar per four squares and once you get used to it, its delicious. while everyone was eating pie and cookies I would have 1-2 squares to satisfy my sweet tooth. Plus the chocolate is loaded with antioxidants. I Have no regrets or feel as if I have deprived myself of anything.

Chris,

So glad to hear that training is going well. It’s amazing how training properly with a kettlebell really sets up general strength and conditioning as well as body composition. Keep it up my friend:)

Train With Purpose,

Sandy,
Training is going well, I have lost six pounds and I am more lean than ever. My side muscles feel like bricks! I am doing all of my workouts with a 20kg bell. I have noticed that when I go running I can breathe through my nose for most of the run. I have increased flexability and core strength greatly which has allowed me to do my favorite physical activity better…Surfing! Santa brought big waves for xmas

Chris,

That’s a great strategy to follow but I haven’t been nearly as compliant. We did manage to give away most of what we had leftover so I think the storm has passed. How’s the training going?

Train with purpose.

Sandy,
Good to hear your doing well!
I have managed to stick to my newest rule of “No Baked Goods”
It is very simple to follow and explain to others. I have managed to stay away from cookies, cake, brownies, pie, etc. Now that Im off the suger it is becoming easier to follow. I hope this can be my weapon to stay lean through the holidays, one more week to go!!

Sandy,
Nice post. I got some good kettlebell workouts in while in VA and made videos of them. I was pleased with my workouts but did not eat good and paying for it now:)
