Guys, this season is not going well from an exercise and calorie management perspective. I get it why people just give up and decide to take up the staff again in a January with fresh motivation. The treats and tempting high calorie foods are all around us, and meanwhile we get too busy with holiday events and preparations to get our usual amount of exercise. It’s a total double whammy!
This week, for example, one of our vendors sent us a tower of Harry and David’s treats at work, and I’ve had two evening events involving merriment, food and wine. Tonight was my annual book club Christmas event, and there was a giant food spread. Look at this amazing charcuterie board!
So, where am I going with this? My point, and I do have one, is that we don’t have to completely give up our health regimen in the face of all these temptations. If you’re tempted to say “Ef it, I’m just giving up on trying to be healthy until after the holidays,” well don’t. Why? Because then you’re turning a double whammy — more food and less exercise — into a triple whammy! Now you’ve added total abandon, which can add up to thousands of excess calories a day.
And in January, you’ve got a much deeper hole to dig out of. So, just maintain as much control as you can. You will feel so much better, and you’ll have much less of a debt to pay later!
