DEL.ICIO.USStay on Track this Holiday Season
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you’re already into fitness, or just getting started, the holiday season poses its challenges. Not only are you confronted with sweet treats on a weekly (if not daily basis), you’re schedule becomes more hectic as you try to schedule trips, tend to relatives, buy gifts, etc.
Let’s face it, there is a lot going on during the holidays that can throw you off track. However, that does not mean you have to quit altogether. If you miss a workout one day, postpone it to the next day. If the boss throws in a last minute meeting during the time you were going to go workout, make-up for it by coming in at a different time another day. When you’re used to getting three sessions in, don’t throw in the towel if you are only able to get two in this week.
What matters is that you keep moving forward. Getting fit and losing weight are lifetime goals. Remember that one of the reasons you exercise is to also “beat up” some stress. This is especially true during the holidays
What matters most is consistency. So, if you have an “all are nothing” attitude, be very careful as you may be setting yourself up for failure. Keep doing what you know you need to do and don’t let anyone stand in your way.
Do you have any tips to stay motivated during the holiday season? If so, please share.
