I found out that the Waterbury YMCA is open on Thanksgiving, so I decided I'm going to get my workout in before eating a big meal! Do you know the average Thanksgiving dinner is 3,200 calories? Not that I care so much about the calories, but exercise is important.
I do take a couple days off from the gym every week, but since I usually work out on Thursdays, why not work out since they're open.
