All things in moderation.
Well…maybe not all. Thanksgiving is upon us.
First things, first. We will all, most likely, overeat on Thursday. This, in and of itself is okay. In fact, holiday feasts in general are not a problem. There may even be a case for an occasional “binge” ramping up our metabolism. What gets us, I believe, is always our routine. And the holidays are major source of disrupting our good habits.
Here’s a few tips to help survive the holidays:
1. Keep your workouts regular, or alternatively,
2. Ramp up your workouts. Try something different, add an additional day, get some advice on things to do when you are not with your trainer. The best defense is having a good offense, in this case.
3. Binge selectively. Pick the 2 or 3 special events that fall between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. On those events, go for it. But the rest of the time…
4. Hold the line. Stay strict. Keep your routine. Resist the holidays becoming a month (or more!) long excuse to loosen up on what you’ve worked so hard building. To help this…
5. Tell someone. Your spouse. Your friend. Your trainer. Keep yourself accountable.
Have a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season!
