Coping with the Holidays

During the holidays, it seems the only thing I attempt to exercise is my stress management skills, resisting temptation and managing overindulgence.  This year has been no different.  My treadmill is covered in so much dust I'm pretty sure recovery of it will require an archaeological team.  For personal reasons, I've spent very little time at the clinic and I'm sure that is not working in my favor either.

The good news?  I'm not losing ground.  The bad news?  I'm getting way too comfortable on the ground I'm currently standing on.  Time for something to change, move, bend, twist.  By "something" I mean my body.  With Christmas just ten days away, I've decided not to put off the traditional New Year's resolution.  Why wait?  It's always the same thing.  Lose weight, get into shape.

Today I'm getting on the treadmill, drinking water and eating a huge salad for lunch. I must really love Square One--because I continually return to it.

I'm curious to know what you're doing to this year to manage the holiday food, stress, temptation.  Let me know.  We're in this together.  Right up until I reach my goal, publish my book, become famous and roll around naked on my bed covered in money.

Then I don't know any of you ;)

  1. I'm not getting stressed and eating what I want (instead of what I should).

  3. You need to eat carefully during holidays because you may end up putting lots of weight at the end of holidays
