Merry Christmas, everybody!
Reach out to someone today who you have been meaning to reconnect with, just to let them know that you’re thinking about them. It will be a gift for both of you.
And throw the diet out the window.

This Video Will Give You Hope
And here’s a little positivity for your day with your families and friends.
Last week, and this might shock you, but the internet did something positive.
People told me Friday about Frank the Tank from Barstool Sports, who has lost more than 245 pounds, and said I needed to meet him. He’s walked 20,000 steps for over 800 days straight to drop from 530+ to… I won’t spoil it, but you’ll be impressed at how I guess it.
I reached out immediately and said we should make this happen before Christmas to give people hope. Because what Frank has done is simple, but not easy.
It’s what I tell all of you: the secret is just showing up every day. And rain, sleet, snow, Frank has shown up and done his walking. Along the way he’s inspired thousands of people to join him. I believe in rewarding that, and I want him to inspire millions.
This week, we trained together. Frank’s going to add resistance training to his regimen, and I wanted his first straining session to be with me. He’s also joining us in the Pump Club app to keep his workouts going and keep track of his reps, because he loves seeing his numbers, but also to inspire our village.
Here’s our Christmas Eve Special of Frank’s show: Frank Walks.
Warning: only watch it if you want to see something uplifting.
