We all know that the hardest time of the year to stick to a diet is from Thanksgiving through the New Year. Thankfully we finished off our leftovers today. A lot of people think that Thanksgiving is the worst of it, but I would argue that it isn't as hard as Christmas. While Thanksgiving is a day full of food and calories, Christmas is an entire season. Weeks of Christmas parties, Christmas cookies, Christmas candy, Christmas ham and turkey and more. To think that this doesn't end until after the New Years (which has plenty of opportunities to pack on the pounds in and of itself) can be overwhelming. All of this goes to show that while we have survived one (two if you count Halloween), we still have a lot more to come. So the question is, are you prepared?
How do we prepare for an entire season that aggressively opposes those trying to lose weight? Is it even possible to survive this next month without putting on extra pounds? Does one need to simply hide in their house and turn into Scrooge until the Christmas Season is over? I say no! I am preparing myself. I have a system of processes that I have been following for nearly three solid months that have proven to work so far. I'm not going to change them. The thing I will be working on is my resolve. I know that if I can stay focused and determined to stick to my calorie intake and exercise, I will not only avoid putting on weight, but I will continue to lose my butter half.
It was another good day for my calories and exercise.
