I happen to love the feeling of brushing dry skin--it's incredibly invigorating, and then therapeutic to feel it all wash off. But I'm not sure if there's an added benefit to doing it before the shower rather than in it. Excited to connect, Sarah! You know, I’ve never really questioned it!

I have been brushing all my skin with a bristle brush in the shower because I don't generally use soap - the exfoliation is my way of getting clean. Is there a special reason to brush before I get in the shower? Thanks so much for adding another natural body care practice to my stash!

I think it's very easy to go hard when you're as capable as you are, but you hit the nail on the head - this season isn't about pushing yourself, it's about enjoying yourself. I'm glad your first yoga class (in awhile) was such a pleasant experience. I just did a dvd last night (the Deason one) but I had a similar revelation. Basically, I'm way out of shape compared to where I once was, but I'm still in love with the practice, thank goodness. Have fun at your classes - I think I'll be joining you in the more yoga-less fitness in December camp. Maybe I can even get my mom and sisters in on the deal... :) Plus (and this is what struck me last night), I have other goals for the holidays. Like sending out meaningful notes with my cards. Like making a few homemade gifts. Like getting together with more of the people I love. The way I came to see it, January is for busting your ass. December should be a month to exercise your heart. xoxo Good choice, m’dear!

As long as there is some working out, decent eating habits and solid intent, that is enough for December. Better would be great but I won't kill myself over it either...

I'm not sure exactly where to put my stuff in the spreadsheet's daily part, so I'm just going to update the weekly goal part. I like your #2, 3, 4, but I'm going to adjust a bit. 1. Lift weights or run for at least 30 minutes three times per week. 2. Yoga for 45 minutes at least three times per week. 3. Liv's ab video (how did I not know about this?!) at least three times per week. 4. Meditate at least five minutes per day. Because of work/the holidays, keeping it to a more weekly (instead of daily) arrangement should help me stick to it. Let's do it!! :) Ok I’m in!

I have also heard of lathering coconut oil on after your shower. Have you heard of this? Does your body soak up this oil before it can get on your clothing? Cheers! Clara Hello, Great Post!
