141. Holiday Survival Guide: Enjoy the Holidays Without Sabotaging Your Fitness Goals

It’s that time of year again - the holidays are upon us!

I know this time of year is hectic; the holidays are fun, but also suuuper busy, stressful, and can feel really hard.

You can think of today’s episode as your ‘holiday survival guide’ in regards to your fitness journey. I know you’ll be hearing plenty of tips and tricks on how to navigate the holidays without gaining weight or getting ‘off track’. You may also hear that it’s okay to just say f*ck it, and start over in January.

Well..I’m not here to do either of those. I’m here to cut through allll the BS and noise out there, because what matters is that you find what works for YOU! 

Yes, it’s important that you have *some* type of plan you’re following, so you CAN stay on track with your fitness goals this season (whatever those may be for you). 

There’s also a way for you to find a balance of enjoying foods and treats at holiday gatherings, without forgetting about your goals completely. I personally don’t believe you need to make the holidays all about food either - there are soo many other special things to focus on!

At the end of the day, you have to figure out what YOU want. How do you want to feel, and how do you want to look this holiday season? No one can answer those questions but you. The choice is yours, because you are in control, and that’s a beautiful thing, friend!

Episode Recap:

• Understanding that this time of year is hard, busy & stressful for pretty much everyone
• What my current season of life looks like
• The importance of having a plan during the holidays + why it should be personalized for YOU
• Finding a balance of enjoying the holidays while still being mindful of your goals and not giving into #allthethings
• Why the holidays don’t need to be (and shouldn’t be) all about food
• Getting super clear on what you want + how you really want to feel
