Season's Greetings to All...

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy New Year. May you be blessed, and have the best, in 2015.

Training slowing down a bit for the holidays, but tomorrow my oldest son and I will join Coach Rob and Sensei Mike at Defensive arts Dojo for an open workout (focus on grappling and BJJ). Then off from major training; just regular daily workouts until going back to Judo class on Friday January 2nd. Getting close to that yellow belt, but I've got some things to work on (a big one is standing rolls/breakfalls; none of the others bother me, but with shoulder issues, that "cartwheel" stuff is a bit of a pain-- literally).

I decided that it would be the height of foolishness to try and stem the tide of cookies, pies, cakes, all manner of desserts, and awesome food this holiday season. But starting in 2015 (after the last cookie is gone), I will be adding a "diet, proper," to my weekly workouts to try and kill these last 35 lbs. once and for all. I'm thinking about Atkins, but have also read-up on Body-for-Life. My wife has some other ideas. Anybody have any suggestions out there for safe, healthy diet plans that would coincide nicely with muscle-building/flexibility/martial workouts? Let me know-- feel free to drop a comment below.

Enjoy the Holidays, and "See you in 2015."
