Are you worried about ruining your progress during the holidays? Do you get stuck in the cycle of starting over every January? Want to enjoy holiday treats without feeling out of control?

If so, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Nikki chats with fitness and nutrition coach Brooks Hurbis about different ways to approach fitness, nutrition, and fat loss over the holidays without falling into the common traps of over restriction, over indulgence, or feeling like you have to start over in January.

They discuss:

• How to recognize the most common all or nothing holiday mindset traps of giving up until January vs. white knuckling abstinence and what to do instead.
• Strategies to enjoy Christmas cookies and holiday treats without feeling like you've been bad or are "off plan."
• Why moments of "failure" are opportunities to learn and make more supportive choices in the future.
• The importance of eating for real life versus having a dieting mentality even when you have a fat loss goal, especially during the holidays.
• The benefits of eating at maintenance during the holidays and alternatives to tracking for making goal and health supportive choices.
• The role of your environment on nutrition choices and ways to manage your surroundings so follow through feels easier.
