3 Motivators to Keep you Working Out During the Holidays

As we approach the Christmas season, many begin to slack in their workout regimen! Yes, I said slack. Or, better yet, they completely stop. My goal is to keep those extra pound off so I don't have to kill myself to get it off again. After sitting down with several clients and discussing weight loss, I am sure, deep down, you desire the same thing. Have you ever come back to workout after some time off? Well, if you have, then you understand the feeling... Fat and out of shape.
Now, Am I writing this to say you shouldn't enjoy the extra treats during the holidays? Absolutely not! However, keeping your workouts consistent over the next few weeks will give you some liberty to indulge in SOME your favorite holiday foods. And, those workouts will keep you in shape so you can hit it hard after the first of the year.
Here are a few motivational things to remember so you keep the momentum going during the holidays:
1. Remember what it was like to lose those 5 lbs you gained during the holidays! You should know that you don't want to keep losing the same 5lbs. I heard someone say one time, " I have lost a total of 100 lbs." I was like, "GREAT!" Then they informed me that it was the same 5 lbs they lose and gain year after year.
2. Remember what it was like to FINALLY get back into those jeans you haven't worn in a while? Have you noticed that you are reaching down to the bottom of the drawer to get those jeans that "fit" you a little better? Don't do it! Stay focused and get to the gym! Run the block!
3. Remember how hard it is to get back into the gym! If you know anything about habits, then you now they're hard to break! Keep going through the holidays and continue to create good habits. Then, next year during the holidays, you will not be as tempted to make excuses and find seasonal festivities to derail your progress.

Progress!

Things are shaping up at Fit Life. Walls are up. HVAC is completed. And tomorrow, we are getting our plumbing inspected. Considering the sewage pump was nearly 6k, I don't believe we have anything to worry about in the poopy pumping category.. In fact, we should be able to pump our sewage to California at the speed of light. And, if for some reason it can't, we have a handy little alarm that will alert us of a potential mess. I can't wait to see what kind of flushing power we have! I'm sure it won't be long before manufacturers start marketing them with labels. For real! I can see the infomercial now- " get your 1 ton sewer pump now watch your waist disappear before you get your hand off the handle!" Of course my question would be: " What's the difference between a 1/2 to and a 1 ton?" lol!
Looking forward to the beginning of the year!
