As the beginning of Holiday season nears, I just wanted to remind everybody to stay on track with your fitness goals. Just because you are off of work a lot and having a lot of social events doesn't mean you have to gain weight back. There is no excuse. In fact, with this extra free time from work it should be even more convenient to get a work out in. As I don't expect you to eat as healthy as you should, it becomes even more important to stick to your workout plan to help compensate for the increase in calorie intake. Be active, go for a run, hit the gym first thing in the morning and stay consistent. Get some type of exercise in 5 to 6 days a week. It will keep you feeling healthy and fit and relieve stress of the holiday season. Don't you want to show up to those holiday parties and family gatherings looking to impress?
I know today, Thanksgiving Day, will be filled with your favorite traditional home cooked foods you love. It is after all only once a year and I'm not telling you to pass up on them. But be realistic, watch your portion control and skip second helpings. The average American consumes 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat from their Thanksgiving Day meal, not including other meals/snacks of the day! Take a look a this link and get an idea of what you might be at and consider serving sizes!
