The Holidays are coming!

· Halloween is just days away and that kicks off the season of over indulgence, candy, cookies and feasts

· If you are struggling with food and weight loss this time of year is extremely draining

o You feel like you are missing out

o Depression spikes and can cause us to spiral out of control

o There’s guilt associated with not participating in the festivities

Holidays don’t have to be stressful (well not when it comes to your fitness.) Here are a few strategies that have worked for myself and my clients.

· Calling back to my last podcast, Stay constant.

o Don’t lose your structure. We all get a little off track but keep hitting your workouts.

o Lean on your support (trainer, class-mates, gym buddies, people in your online group)

o Consider tracking your food again, don’t go overboard if this is going to cause stress. The easiest app for my clients is at www.myfitnesspal.com

· Give your self-permission to participate

o Go into Holidays with a mindset of abundance, eat a little cake, put a little, of everything on your plate for that special holiday meal and enjoy time with your friends and family.

o Keep the goal in mind. You are working toward a healthy life. That meals finding balance.

o One or two days will not completely destroy your month.

· Set your expectations

o The more you indulge, the slower your progress, adjust accordingly.

o Set a goal to keep the needle moving in the right direction.

· Don’t Binge

o Food is a large part of social interaction in the US you can participate without eating 3 servings. Stuffing yourself so much you have to unbutton you pants.
