The Holidays Are Upon Us...

Don't wait until it is chilly outside, and the holidays are upon us to decide to take a break from your regular fitness routine. Why not? After all, you have been good up until this point! So why not just take a break until New Years?
Sure you can always come up with an excuse as to why you should not be exercising! I hear them all of the time! Taking time off around the holidays isn't even a planned event for most people. People find themselves caught up in the shopping, and cooking and visiting of friends and family; along with the daily work routines and life's daily chores! Now, the holidays hit, and it all goes to the dogs. Slacking off around the holidays is often followed by weight gain, and more stress come New Year's! I can help to keep you motivated and disciplined before, during and after the holidays pass. The 2-10 pounds that people gain around the holidays are the hardest pounds to get back off!
The first step, is to acknowledge the fact that the holidays will bring on temptation and weight gain, and will affect your exercise/nutrition plan that you have worked so hard to maintain throughout the rest of the year. Recognize the reality of the situation. Get real with the habits that have kept you back in the past! Focus on maintaining a healthy life style. My focus is to teach people how to have "wellness" incorporated in their lives. NOT DIETS! Diets and quick fix programs do not work! I will teach you how to make the adjustments that you need to stay on task and keep it together during the holidays and the rest of the year. Learn how to live!
Again, "be real!" Instead, of trying to make exercise a part of your schedule and busy life; by squeezing it in...take other things out. The goal is not to add stress to your life by doing more. Rather, it is to do less. Especially, around the holidays when everyone's tendency is to do more!
That goes for eating more during the holiday season as well as for everything else.
If you are so busy that you have had to add exercise to your Palm Pilot or Black Berry. It is probably a good time to reassess! There is very little room for added stress; when working toward a healthier lifestyle.
Forget about living to lose weight. Learn to live and live well!
