How are you surviving the holidays?
Sticking to a food plan is difficult when you're subjected to lots of parties and good food.
The key to survival is moderation. Don’t deprive yourself of
participating in the holiday fun. You can still enjoy the delicious delicacies but don’t overdo it and restrict yourself to only once a week. This strategy has
worked for me, and I think of it as a "cheat day" or "cheat weekend."
If you are still concerned about adding additional body
fat, you can compensate by doing an hour of vigorous activity the next day. If
you dove off the deep end, you may have to do several “cardio” days.
Unfortunately, your muscles aren’t so forgiving. They require
constant and consistent attention. Otherwise, your muscles will get weak and atrophy.
Muscles are vital for maintaining optimal functional capacity and a healthy
metabolism as you age. You should do whatever is necessary to keep your muscles.
I prioritize my exercise by doing it every day at 5 a.m.
This way, I get it done immediately, and there are no excuses.
Your spine is another part of your body that needs daily attention. You must stretch and mobilize your spine and your body every day.
I hope you have all your Christmas shopping done because
you are running out of time.
