Another year has passed bringing in the holiday season. Truthfully these festive months are the best of times, but professionally the bane of my existence. Our culture's celebration of excess and indulgence is never more evident than now. Here is a pre-emptive strike to help mitigate the caloric damage ahead.
First and foremost, you have to continue with you training regimen. The natural inclination is to take some downtime and resume after the first of the year. This is a costly mistake that too many people make. The next landmine is caloric intake through alcohol consumption. This ever-present foe is at every social gathering and family meal. Lastly the plethora of sweets that are available just about everywhere you go during the holidays. These temptations are formidable opponents that are
best mitigated through moderation and portion control.
By all means go to the party and have that glass of wine with a cookie. This is a time to celebrate and enjoy the company of family and friends. It doesn't have to be at the expense of your health and hard work. What you do between the months of (Jan - Nov) is much more important than what you do between (Nov - Jan). Be sure to keep your gluttony in check so that excess will be denied...
