**December- Keeping It Real**

  • I have really enjoyed holding myself accountable for exercising during the month of November in the 30 DS thread. However, since I am not exclusively Shredding anymore, I was wondering if anyone would like to post here.

    You set your own goals. You decide the workout. You post actually workouts and results. That is how we will be keeping it real in December. No fudging workouts or weigh ins. We all know it is the holiday season and weight loss may not go so well. So don't feel bad! Just post your progress and move on!

    **Feel free to copy paste my dates into your post & then edit for your needs to make it quicker on yourself!**
