Hey It Is Christmas Even At the Gym

They don’t decorate the weights but they do have a tree in the lobby and wreaths on the doors.

Maybe the mood is a little more festive.

“Hey get that seasonal music off the system, you are killing the workout”!!!!!

Well maybe not all that festive.

Although in Boot Camp, Sparta put on a pair of Reindeer antlers, as she received blows in boxing.

There is something about swinging at a young lady with reindeer antlers on her head that just doesn’t seem right.

Sparta also sponsored a holiday carry-in to be consumed right after Boot Camp.

I think she expected more participation but the array of treats was eclectic to say the least.

The every present cheese cubes were there along with some great Guacamole and Salsa.

The chips were high fiber crackers and I can still attest to the level of fiber two days after the event.

There was some sinfully delightful sugar coated puffs that seemed rather addicting.

A very nice cranberry relish and a jar of pickled beets rounded out the fare.

The libation consisted of Champagne.

Every body stayed and ate sparingly as we are all in the midst of a weight loss contest and every time you gain you throw $5 more into the pot.

Surprisingly the beets were not a big hit.

You can eat a whole jar for very little cost in total calories.

The fiber crackers were the biggest hit making the doctor side of me think every one there was suffering from some type of GI problem.

As the last of the Champagne disappeared, “Well it is time to go lift”, not spirits but weights.

The spirits were already lifted for far too long it seemed.

So she walked out of sight to pump heavier weights deep into the night.
