Are you are looking forward to the holidays?
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - as well as New Years
Eve and New Years Day. The Spokane holiday season is a
great time for family, fun and eating.
With Christmas coming many people are excited for presents
and gifts galore - and it's a sad site when you see that
most people bring a lot more than a few trinkets or toys
into the new year.
After the Holiday most bring with them an extra 10-15
pounds in the form of fat securely fastened around their
body.
What are you going to take with you into the new year? Are
you going to bring much more of yourself into a new year or
are you going to take the necessary steps to not only avoid
holiday weight gain - but shed a few pounds in the process.
I don't know about you, but when I think of my Christmas
wish-list, I don't imagine putting 10-15 pounds of fat on
that list.
How do you avoid putting a single ounce of fat on over the
holidays?
Simple - you decide that it's what you want to do.
You have to decide even before you are faced with the pies,
the candies, the stuffing - any of it - any temptation. It
all starts in your mind - your fitness mind.
Here are some tips to make your fitness journey through the
holidays easier than making your morning bowl of oatmeal
(you are eating oatmeal for breakfast - right?).
1. If something is in your house it will be eaten during
the holiday. If you don't want to eat it - don't bring it
into the house. The best way to avoid food is to ban them
from your house. Chances are you're not going to eat
something that isn't there - those chances are usually 100%.
2. Keep sweets and your favorite foods out of your own
house during the holidays - enjoy your favorite foods at
your families' houses and leave the food there.
3. Come Halloween time only get enough candy to last a day
or two at most. That way you won't have candy laying around
the house to be devoured at a moment's notice.
4. Don't fall for the All or None principle. Even if you
have 4 or 5 special occasions during the holidays where you
gather together for feasting - this doesn't mean you have
to turn Thanksgiving and Christmas into a 2 month event.
Out of 61 days you still have at least 50-55 days where you
exercise and eat healthy.
5. Enjoy your holiday eating - and get right back to your
regular healthy eating and exercise. Don't feel guilty
about those days of pleasure - just get right back to it.
Plan your holiday meals in advance and move on afterwards.
6. Start a Spokane holiday fitness plan right now - don't
wait until the new year or the infamous tomorrow. Tomorrow
is never going to be today - get a head start and get with
a fitness plan.
7. Decide today that you will be fitter and trimmer come
the new year and take the necessary steps to ensure that is
what actually happens!
When you have the proper guidance and a game plan to
achieve your fitness goals - getting in even better shape
over the holiday season is not just possible - it's easy as
pie, pumpkin pie that is.
