No Holiday Blues For You!

I hope everyone is doing well as we get closer and closer to Thanksgiving week.  Stay disciplined for another week and feel free to let loose a bit on Turkey Day.  You have my permission (as if you need it ).  The key is to get back on track asap! (as in, Friday morning after Thanksgiving)  I’m confident that you won’t ruin all of your health and physique goals if you jump back on the training/healthy eating wagon sooner rather than later.  Do NOT, I repeat do NOT, have this mindset… “well, I really blew it yesterday with all that gravy and extra serving of pumpkin pie and those 6 cans of Old Milwaukee (yeah that’s right, I said Old Milwaukee) and then I felt extra sick after watching yet another Thanksgiving Day Lion’s game. 

I might as well kiss my goals good bye and head back to the fridge for leftovers today.  Plus, Christmas and New Year’s are right around the corner.  On January 2nd (because January 1st you’re still nursing your hangover and the last thing in the world you are going to do is prepare healthy meals on this day… especially with all the great Bowl games on) I promise I’ll start to be good again.”  Meanwhile you, like most Americans just gained an extra 15 pounds (or whatever the national average is) over the holiday season and you’re starting your resolution from a big deficit. 

Don’t be that person.  Enjoy the holidays, enjoy your family, cheat a little, and make sure to get back on track RIGHT AWAY.  I’m posting this a week before Thanksgiving in hopes that this will sink in and give you plenty of time to get your mind right before “going into the battle,” that is the holidays.

And by the way, I’ll be posting some sample workouts for those that “are just too lazy busy” to get your workouts in during this crazy time of the year.  These workouts will take you ~ 20 minutes (honestly) and you won’t skip a beat.  But your heart sure will beat!  Good one?  No.  What’s that, you think I’m a dork?  Ouch!

All dorkiness aside, check back shortly (tomorrow maybe?) with these quick, time-friendly workouts.  Time is not an issue – no excuses!

Love,

Me
