A baby girl gets a cute nickname after being born in the parking lot of a Buc-ee's gas station in the middle of the night. Plus, how the 50% rule can help you avoid weight gain around the holidays, and a trainer's go-to exercise for more toned arms.
Jena Birdsong, 29, had always seen stories about roadside births and thought "that'll never be me." Her baby girl had other ideas, as Birdsong's husband was forced to pull over in a deserted Buc-ee's in Missouri at 3:15 a.m. when it was clear they weren't going to make it to the hospital in time. Their daughter now has a cute nickname in honor of the chain of cavernous convenience stores and gas stations.
If you fear a packed holiday schedule filled with hearty meals and drinks with friends might lead to weight gain, personal trainer and TODAY fitness contributor Stephanie Mansour has a simple way to help you stay the course. She calls it the 50% rule and uses it herself when it comes to adjusting her goals for the holiday season. See how to put it into practice with everything from holiday desserts to time at the gym.
