The year is whizzing by. We survived Halloween and got an extra hour of sleep (well, maybe), and now the festive season is upon us. Where did the time go?
Before the holiday chaos kicks in, let’s talk about balance and ask ourselves a question. “How am I doing?” Did I achieve my fitness goals that I set for myself this year? Have I been making good food choices to fuel my body? If not, why not? If you have had success, good for you.
Whatever the case may be, don’t beat yourself up. ‘Tis the season to give thanks so acknowledge your decisions, be thankful you are able to move your body and be thankful for those around you who care (including your fitness coach).
Our health is our greatest wealth so balance between eating well and moving every day makes us stronger, both mentally and physically, and we all know that around this time of year we can use a little more stamina.
Let’s not allow the holiday season to throw us off our game or to adjust our fitness habits without our permission. Remember, we don’t have to be at the gym to move. If it’s a little chilly outside, bundle up and take a short walk. Rainy? Walk around the house or the office for just a few minutes and move those muscles. Ready for the big meal on Thanksgiving? Dig in to the protein first then go for the rest. A little protein hit before the side dishes goes a long way in helping us balance our energy and digestion! We’ll feel better knowing we enjoyed the indulgence but took steps to also feel good for the remainder of the year.
Here’s to a thankful and balanced holiday season.
