Woo, that was a lot of food! What do I do now? Oh my diet is blown up, oh well I will get back at it January 1st. Yep that is my goal January 1st I start my diet back up and I will lose this weight!
WHAT THE…….?
You are going to wait another month and an half because of a long weekend? Total B.S.
The holidays are a special time with family, friends and a ton of food. (We had 14 people at the house and we didn’t even make a dent in how much food there was.) But they wreck havoc on your fat loss goal. What can you do?
Imagine if you are driving down the highway and you get a flat tire. You pullover to check things out, yep, a flat. The uncommon sense thing to do: POP the other three tires just because you like matching things? No. The common sense thing to do, fix the flat and move on.
How not to be the uncommon sense person
1. Get back to your normal routine again:
Just get back your winning ways by keeping track of your food rules and meeting your workout goals
2. Workout just a little harder/longer:
Need to burn them calories up some how, so push a little harder and a little longer. Let yourself know that you are ALIVE! WOOOOO!
3. Don’t weigh yourself the day after a splurge:
Unless you are a glutton for punishment, it does take a couple of days of normal eating habits to get back to where you were. But after a fest of T-day portions it can be a relief that you got to pig out and help you get through the rest of the year.
4. Just let it go:
Thanksgiving weekend plus Christmas Eve and Day along with New Years Eve is a week put together. With only 37 days left in the year, that total splurge week comes out to 19% (7 divided into 37). That is small number to worry about. That means you have 81% of the time to make up and surpass the holiday fests. No big deal!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays,
Jeff
PS now that Thanksgiving is over we can worry about Christmas and other Holidays. Not like the stores where they are getting their Christmas ornaments out in September
