I need to tell you something that's probably going to make you mad... I never gain weight over the holidays.

Is it because I don't let myself have any holiday treats? No.

Is it because I make myself workout an hour a day? No.

Is it because I skip all the holiday parties and boozy drinks? Nope. 

I thoroughly partake in all of the fun of the season! But I do have a few habits that keep me from getting so far off course that have to start back at ground zero come January...

1. Don't try to swap your...

OK so I know New Years resolutions have gotten a bad rap over the years, especially if they are directed at weight loss goals.

The statics aren't in your favor and you have likely experienced the disappointment of falling off the wagon come mid-February multiple times over.

But I have to be honest, I'm out here rooting for us to bring the new year's resolution back!

It's a fresh start, a new beginning, an opportunity unlike any other throughout the year to reflect on what you really want and make a sweeping...

Years ago, whenever the holidays came around, I always felt like I had to make a choice. A choice between...

The part of me that wanted to fully embrace the holiday season, savoring my favorite traditions and treats. 

And the part of me that wanted desperately to avoid the dreaded holiday weight that seemed to be an inevitability of the season.

But after years of turmoil, I realized...

The answer wasn't...

Raise your hand if this has happened to you...

You head into the holidays intent on maintaining the healthy habits you've been working on over the last 9 months.

You know how to make healthier treats, you've been practicing moderation, and you're excited to finally make it to the New Year without an extra 10 pounds of fluff around your midsection.

And then... you visit your family.

You walk in the door and before you've set your suitcase down your mom is pinching the skin on your hips asking if...

Summary

A lot of times around the holidays we have 1 of 2 MO's when it comes to nutrition: 

1: Fuck it! It's the holidays! I'm eating all the things! #treatyoself #ilovecookies #whatsaworkout? #yolo

or 2: I'm going to be good this year. I don't need that cookie. Nope, no holiday cocktail for me. S'mores? No thanks....... Fast forward to standing in front of the fridge at midnight eating every dessert in site. 

This is what is properly known as the all-or-nothing mindset. And as you can see, it rarely leads to good...

Oh hey holiday season, where'd you come from? Oh, out of nowhere?? Yeah... sounds about right!

Ya'll (yes, I say "ya'll")... I cannot believe we are already in November. I cannot believe we are 2 months away from 2019. And I cannot believe that between now and said new year, the average American will gain 10 freaking pounds! 

Guys... we've got to raise the bar this year. We've got to do better, we've got to be better, we've got to set a better example for the next generation. And we've got to stop normalizing the holiday weight...

As of this weekend, we are officially in holiday season. Which means lots of parties, treats, and temptations that can quickly derail you from your goals. 

But let's be real, you aren't going to avoid holiday parties or abstain from your favorite tasty traditions just to avoid that annoying end-of-year weight gain. That's what New Years resolutions are for, right??

Well, what if I told you you could easily enjoy the pleasures of the holiday season and enjoy waltzing into the New Year way ahead of the weight loss curve?
