HIIT rocks and fight inflammation

Sunny Mexico, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas!  Hello!  Where does the time go!  This has been a wonderful month.  I’ve been from 80 degree Mexico weather to 2 feet of snow in a week!  It’s amazing!

We had a wonderful time in Mexico.  Lots of sight seeing, laughs, so-so food, not too many workouts, sun, and fun!  We rented cars and got to drive all over the place climbing ruins, swimming in Cenotes, going out on a fishing boat and snorkeling (my favorite!), ferry rides to Cozumel, beach time, motorcycle riding,  biking, playing cards, etc…good times!  Here are a few pictures!

I have to say the humidity was out of this world and I felt so puffy and water retention like for most of the trip.  I thought I’d gained 10 lbs. when I got home, but as soon as I got into my normal routine, by body chilled out!  It did cause me to look into foods that cause inflammation and foods that fight it!!  I’m there!  Also, I’m doing a new program by Amber Dodzweit that I LOVE and she mentions that GLUTEN and DAIRY are big water retaining foods.  So!  I’m avoiding them!  Two of my favorite fitness websites are greatist.com, and blog.myfitnesspal.com Greatest.com has a great article right now about that.  Click on the website above to read it.

Next, I am loving my AD workouts.  Here is a video clip of things I’m doing right now:

I don’t have much time today so I’ll hopefully be back soon to talk about my birthday and more Christmas fun!  Have a great day.  Work Hard Forever! ***
