It’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Season… and that means it’s fall and falling off time. Something magical happens around this time, people start to fall off of their fitness goals. All of the gyms you go to, you’re starting to see less and less crowds. Is it because people have been doing awesome and hit their fitness goals? Probably not, the holiday excuse is in full effect!
People use the holidays as an excuse to fall off their fitness goals. The holidays don’t ruin your diet or pull you away from your fitness goals. It’s your decision to fall off your fitness goals. I understand we have commitments to meet, it’s your mindset around the goals that makes the difference. Holidays are one day… there’s no reason to eat the entire holiday season.
If you make the decision to stop your fitness goals… you’ll set yourself back about 3 months. You’re the problem and you have to make decisions to keep your diet and fitness goals.
It’s in YOUR CONTROL.
Realization… you know the holidays are coming up and you want to enjoy some fantastic foods. When that time rolls around, treat the one day as a cheat meal and don’t continue to eat through the entire month. Pick one day and stick to your plan. You shouldn’t feel guilty about enjoying the holiday meal, just enjoy the time you have with your family. Plan for eating multiple meals if you have to house hop… budget out your calories, choose wisely and be selective of the in-between Halloweens.
Stay active! You’ll have to be flexible during the holiday season with your workouts. Do something, walk around the block, do a home workout with us, or find something to stay active. When you have more time, you can get back on track with your normal fitness routine without feeling like you fell off!
