Upcoming Holiday Weight Loss

We are preparing to enter the holiday season. Unfortunately so many people have accepted the fact that their bodies will take a turn for the worse, that they have given up on trying to prevent it. One study showed Americans gain an average of 6-12 pounds during the holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Year. However, it is possible to at least maintain your current weight and shape over the next 100 days!! It takes a little planning and dedication, but it is by no means impossible. Be the underdog and win the battle of the bulge during the holidays!!

Lets take a quick peak at things we can do.

1. Keep as much candy and sweets out of your house as possible. Nothing good can come out of us buying halloween candy a month prior to the actual event. Do you honestly think you can put it out and not eat it? Out of sight out of mind.

2. Stock up on fruits and vegetables. Some people say this statement is overstated, but i'll keep over stating until it actually sinks in. Stock up on fruits and vegetables. You don't like fruit? There are hundreds, there has to be one in there you can handle. 5-9 servings per day., heck mix them with some organic yogurt!!

3.Drink more water. Most of us, including myself, do not drink enough water. The other day I got 3 liters in. I was feeling pretty good. This month shoot for 1 liter a day. Buy a nalgene and watch your consumption soar!!

4. Exercise with a group. It is the easiest way to commit and that will increase the likelihood of you sticking with it immensely!! How about my Morning Hi-Five class? Starts at 5:45 and your done before everybody else is even awake.

5. Get to sleep. It allows your body to repair itself and attempt to fix all the damage you did it from you eating habits, poor watering habits, and your stressful job. Be in bed by 10:00, yes even on weekends, and try to get around 7-8 hours. Of course if you wake up earlier, you need to get to sleep earlier.

Hopefully these little tidbits help. Doing each one individually, you may not notice much of a change. But put these together, and you've got a flab blasting arsenal that will get rid of that shaking in your pants!!
