Holidays and Other Things...
*I'm currently at work until around noon and then I will be heading home for a few days! I'm very excited about Christmas. My father has a mysterious present he's giving the family tonight. I have a feeling it's something cute and cheesy instead of something actually good, but I can't wait to find out what it is! I'm also super excited to give everyone the gifts I've gotten them.
*The next few weeks are going to be crazy fun. I'm taking a couple days off next week and I think I'll basically be eating and drinking in some form nonstop for many days. I'll also be going to the gym for longer since I have time off, so that will hopefully offset all of the eating.
*Speaking of the gym and obsessively eating, I got my body fat index taken the other day. I was in the "acceptable" range, but I was at the higher end of "acceptable". I was kind of surprised. I've been frantically lifting and admittedly still doing tons of cardio. I've gained some weight and I assumed a lot of it was muscle weight, but now I'm not so sure. The trainer who took my body fat index thing told me the electric approach which they use is not necessarily super accurate. If you drink too much or not enough water, if you drink coffee or if you're retaining water for any reason, the number may be completely thrown off. The most accurate test is the pinch test which they won't do at my gym because it's "too invasive". Needless to say, it's really disturbing when someone tells me 40 pounds of my weight is fat. Disturbing and kind of hilarious.
*And on that note, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
