The holidays are upon us once again! They get here faster and faster every year. In today's society we are facing challenges many of us have never seen. The economy is bad and many people are struggling more than ever this holiday season. We are all facing our own set of challenges whether it is financial some other personal crisis we might be facing. Some of the challenges we are facing might be out of our control for now but there is one challenge that I believe we can all do a little something about. The challenge I am talking about is our own personal health.
I know at some point during the holidays we are going to eat more than we should, drink more than we should, and do absolutely nothing more than we should. But, something that really helped me begin to lose weight and become healthier was trying harder than normal to control my diet and exercise during the holidays. None of us are going to stick to a solid plan during this time, but just as I started doing a year ago, during the holidays, we can pay attention and cut a few things out. Or, at least go for a walk or a run just to get your heart rate up.
Many people always want to start that "diet" on January 1 or 2 but I believe we should try to have some will power and start reducing calories during the holiday season. Doing this made me feel like I could reduce my calories any time of year. I figured if I could cut out just some portions of my holiday favorites, I could be successful sticking to a better nutrition plan for the rest of the year.
It has worked for me. I am down 40 pounds from a year ago. Although I may not be getting to run everyday I still feel like every other day is beneficial. And, I am going to eat some good food over the next few weeks and not feel guilty.
So, as we all deal with the stresses of the holidays keep your own well being in mind. Get up and get outside or at least hit the treadmill while watching that bowl game. If you see just a small result over the holidays you will know you can be successful the rest of the year.
