Well, the holidays are officially upon us, and it is definitely the season for parties, lots of food, and holiday treats! While there is nothing wrong with enjoying some of these things, leaving all caution to the wind and indulging in everything can be a problem!! And you will definitely reap the consequences if you indulge in everything!! So today, I wanted to give you some practical tips for NOT gaining the holiday 15!
1. Make a plan for each festivity. Decide ahead of time what you will allow yourself to eat, and what you want to stay away from. Without any guidelines, you will be tempted to overflow your plate, and will go home bloated and disappointed!
2. Get accountability for this season. This is where my Challenge groups can be a huge support! I encourage my Challengers to post for accountability before a tempting event! But you can ask a friend, spouse, or someone who also has goals to hold you accountable to your guidelines!
3. Keep your eyes on your goal! I have found that if you FOCUS on how much you're being deprived, how much you wish you could indulge, and how miserable you are, then chances are, you'll give in. But if you FOCUS on what you're working towards, what your goals are, and how good decisions at this event will bring you closer to your goal, then chances are, you'll succeed!
4. Commit to a workout program! That's also where my Coaching and recommendations for a workout program come in!! I love to hear people's fitness goals, help them with a couple solid recommendations, and help them get into a program that's right for them! If you are following a schedule and want to finish your program to get those results, that will also help to keep you on track!And each workout program also comes with a nutrition plan!
5. Eat healthy most of the time! You can control what you take in most of the time. Besides those parties and special events, plan for healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, and be careful to stick to that during the week, so that when you do have a special event, a few treats won't completely derail you!!
So there you have it! I know I could come up with more ideas, but for easy convenience, I figure that 5 ideas is enough to go on! If you truly want to reach your goals, amidst this holiday season, then stick with me, and I'll help you achieve them! I've got a group of ladies who are all working towards their goals, and encouraging each other along the way! Want in? Fill out this form, and I'll get back with you!!
