Day 26 of My Transformation Journey:
Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukka, Kwanza, Festivus for the Rest-of-us or whatever it is you partake in this time of year. 
I’ve enjoyed spending time with my family this year and have gotten to eat a lot of great food. Today my father is smoking a turkey and rack of pork ribs. I’m looking forward to dinner! Hope you are enjoying your holiday season as well.
This week I haven’t done much training at all. Mainly because I want to rest up for the new year and the next phase in my training.
