All seriousness though, as a health and fitness coach I see this happen every year. โฃ
This time of year it can be so easy to say โ๐ด๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ช๐ตโ, hide in baggy sweaters, and drown in Christmas cookies until January 1st. In fact, so many people do.ย 
โฃ
โฃ
Then January 1st comes and reality sets in. โฃ
Your jeans are tight.ย 
โฃ
You hate all of the pictures from the holidays.ย 
โฃ
The thought of stepping on the scale is terrifying. โฃ
โฃ
Time for the latest cleanse, detox, and back on board the chicken and broccoli trainโฆ for the few days that it lasts.ย

โฃ
Instead, what if you focused on simply maintaining this holiday season. What if you got in workouts and extra movement where you can What if you eat healthy 80% of the time? What if you continue to drink your water and sleep well. โฃ
โฃ
At the same time you can still ๐๐๐๐๐ some of the holiday foods you love. โฃ
โฃ
You can rid yourself of the panic over the parties and trying to โavoid or gorgeโ on the foods you love. โฃ

Will you commit to making yourself a priority this holiday season?! Iโm not asking you to be perfect, simply be conscious of how you want to feel come January 1st. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐?!
