How to stay fit through the holidays

Where will you be on January 1st?  Bloated and tired from three months of holiday celebrating?  Or will you be feeling energetic enough to tackle a 5k? The choice is up to you, and it starts now. It starts with setting a goal and making a commitment.  Thanks to Lifetime Fitness (my gym which I adore) and GoTribal (an incredible women’s group that I am just getting started with), I…
