How to Stay on Track During the Holidays
The Holiday Season is definitely here. Along with it come all of the parties and get-togethers that can really throw you off track of reaching your goals if you let it!
Are You Up For a Challenge?
For the next month I want to offer you a challenge: stick with whatever program you're on! If you're trying to lean up, keep working on it during the holidays. If you're trying to bulk up, keep with it through the holidays. No matter what your goal is, just keep it up. Keep using whatever body building supplements you're using, keep going to the gym, keep doing what you're doing!
This is the time of year when a lot of people let themselves get off track. To me this really explains why so many people set a new goal for losing weight in the next year and sign up for a new gym membership. It's all because they let themselves get off track in November and December!
Have an Action Plan
Now I'm not suggesting that you should avoid all of the parties and be a humbug this season. Not at all! I encourage you to go out and have fun and enjoy the season. What I am recommending is that you just be a little more aware of what you're eating at the parties that you go to. Know what your limits are. Then stick to it.
Remember that you control what you put in your mouth. Sticking with it at a party or family gathering is going to take some extra discipline. You have to think about how bad you really want it! Sure, that extra slice of pie looks good, but is it worth it in comparison with what you really want to achieve? This is the question you'll have to ask yourself a lot in the coming month.
Before you go to a gathering, just mentally prepare yourself to be aware that there will be lots of junk that you should either avoid or keep to minimum levels. Then use self discipline and stick with it. I'm not saying it won't be tough to not take a handful of chocolates, but it's worth it. Think of your goals, and stay motivated. If you have an action plan in place, you'll be more successful.
And no, your action plan should not simply be doing extra cardio to burn off the extra piece of pie you ate!
Be the Exception
You have to realize that whatever your goal is, whether it is to be lean or bulk up, you have to be dedicated to that plan. You see, most people just go with the flow and let whatever happens happen. That's why they gain so much weight during the holidays! That's why they have to start all over when the new year starts. But you can be the exception.
Keep your motivation high during the coming month and a half. Be the exception to the rule that December is when most people gain the weight that they try to take off in January and February. Instead, let it be the month that you have some of your best results ever!
The choice is up to you, so are you willing to accept the challenge?
