HELP Episode 8: Mind Games

November and Thanksgiving have come and gone!  Can you believe it?  Where did the time go?  We had a lot of stuff going on in November including the election, Thanksgiving and some major life events.  After taking the month of November off, I am back for a “Just Tom” Healthy Lifestyle Podcast.  I have to admit that we all play mind games with the holidays, and as I post this podcast, I can probably record a Part 2 to this podcast for surviving the madness and family mind games that rear their heads during the holidays.

Topics

I discussed the following topics in this episode:

• November Madness in the World
• Mind Games for Dealing with Chaos
• Update about Drew Sample
• Thanksgiving Reflections
  • Visiting a Homestead
  • Spending Time with Family and Relatives
  • Eating and Drinking During the Holidays
• New Plan and Getting Back to the Gym and Pool
