's Daily Message WednesdayDecember 13, 2006RUN AROUND, GET RUN DOWN

Twelve more days till Christmas! How did it creep up so fast? It seems I was just in New York at the beginning of the month, being persecuted by Letterman. Really, 12 more days! What am I gonna do? My heart is beating faster just thinking about it all. My list is as long as Santa`s… well, maybe not that long! I`ve got so many errands to run before my brother and his wife come knockin` at my door. You would think our creator above would give us a few more hours of day for this season!

You know you have a lot of running around to do in the next 12 days, but one thing I don`t want to happen is for you to get run down! First off, there`s a lot of flu`s and viruses swimming around this time of year, and you don`t want them to swim your way! You have to take care of you while preparing for the holidays you are celebrating.

When you are on the go and say you don`t have time to eat, you always grab the wrong foods – fast foods – to keep your energy up! And you know what? Processed, high fatty foods deplete your energy, not charge it. And when you`re in a hurry, you don`t drink enough water because you`ve been treating yourself to sodas and fancy coffee drinks.

"And , I don`t have time to exercise. I have to wrap packages." Look, I want your packages to look pretty, but I want you to also take care of your package… your body by planning your meals, drinking your water, and working out every day!

You do remember our December challenge. Well, just in case you forgot, I`ll tell you again. I want you to aim for a 5-pound weight loss this month. I want you to exercise every day for at least 45 minutes. Sure, it`s going to be challenging and hard, but I believe you`re up to it!

If you don`t take care of yourself, you`ll end up run down with a big frown, and if you do fit in time for you, you`ll be up and running and ready to enjoy the magical moments of the season!

Love,
