S6:E31 - Do Christmas Calories Count?

Christmas is right around the corner!

Hooray!

Over the years, we’ve seen a consistent pattern where folks have mini freak outs over how to stay on track during the Christmas season. Maybe your not someone who panics, but like most, you might struggle to resist freshly baked plum pudding or that need to get your second (third or fourth) serving of dessert and wonder, How can I enjoy my plum pudding and still stay in shape?

Well, I don’t blame you and your not alone.

It’s Christmas.

A time to be jolly.

One of the big reasons why many struggle with the Christmas period is the insidious all or none mentality.

You eat all the calories over Christmas only to commit to eating none of them on January 1st.

It doesn’t work. It’s not a lifestyle.

The thing about all or done is, it seldomly gives you all, and usually gives you none.

I use to be guilty of this myself.

My offical review after years of trying to force to have it all;

1 star… please don’t make a sequel.

And that’s exactly why one of the best times to start a fitness and health program is over Christmas.

Because if you can overcome your BS excuses over Christmas, nothing will ever phase you.

You can learn to dance with life's choices rather than having to be perfect, that one dessert you had off plan doesn’t have to throw your whole plan and momentum for the whole week.

It becomes a lifestyle.

Maybe even enjoyable.

And making it enjoyable is kinda of important seeing we want you to stick to it.

There’s no point getting your dream body if it’s a nightmare to maintain.

As I write this, I am no where near my peak fitness and strength. I’ve gotten in 5 workouts in 2 weeks as I write this to from Florida in the lovely USA.

But I am not phased, even with Christmas around the corner.

My manta is; I am a healthy person, who eats healthy foods that builds and nourishes my body. That’s my default, and a couple of weeks travelling and Christmas doesn’t change that.

So in this this episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Senior Coach Ari and discuss the Enterprise Guide to Surviving the Silly Season.

Its a quick 20 minute episode, loaded with what you need to stay on track AND- enjoy Christmas.
