It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The holidays are upon us and so are the extra calories that come with the season. Oh, that didn’t sound so wonderful did it? The more you prepare to do something about it now, the better you’ll feel after the holidays. You won’t dread going the gym, eating healthy won’t seem like a chore and you won’t feel the guilty about overindulging because you’ve kept off the extra holiday pounds.
How can you make this a reality this year? First, don’t deny yourself a little indulgence with your favorite family recipes. Make a commitment to be vigilant about watching your portion size and make a mandatory appointment everyday to workout. Yes, EVERYDAY! It doesn’t mean that you have to get a full workout in at the gym every day, but make a commitment to get moving every day. This time of year, it’s getting colder outside, so we are less inclined to be active outdoors and start to slow down. Be mindful of how much you are moving everyday and make conscious effort to move more- Take the stairs, get up from your desk at work, take a walk before or after work, buddy up and find someone to support you in your effort. Most importantly, don’t let one bad meal or a lazy day get you off track…Everyday provides us with a new opportunity to decide what healthy choices we are going to make.
Tip: Keep an extra set of workout clothes and sneakers in your car to ensure you’re always prepared for your workout!
