Uh-oh, it's holiday season and that means all the treats, sweets, and eats you can imagine. The holiday's don't ruin your diet... you do. You start to forget your why, you get really busy, you lose track of why you started, and life just happens. People will use holidays as their reason of why they fell off their fitness goals.
Here's the deal: the holiday's are not the problem. Holidays are ONE DAY... one. (Unless you have a week celebration, but you get the idea). You're looking at about 4-5 days that are the actual holiday, these can be your cheat meal days. They're moments to be shared and cherished with families.
The actual reason you're dropping the ball is your preparedness. Here's what I mean, plan now (I've said this before) and pick the days every month you want to have your cheat meal. The reason holidays can wreck your diet is because you use the entire week/month to indulge. You don't have to go hard every day, all day. Pre-plan when/where you are going to have your cheat meal.
Plan for the house hopping by eating smaller portions, planning out your map, choose what you eat and be mindful of what you're eating. Maybe skip the pie at all 3 houses you have to visit, eat smaller portions, or choose the healthier option. There's so much you can do to prepare now so you don't blame the holiday's for sabotaging your nutrition plan.
Remember, it's all the little extra's that show up during the holiday season that sabotages your nutrition. So plan now for the upcoming holidays and choose your cheat meal days now.
Yo! I'm not a licensed professional, I am just talking about real life shit I've experienced and hope it helps you become a better version of yourself!
