11 Articles to Help you Maintain your Results this Holiday Season
/Happy Halloween! Ready for the scariest thing you’ll hear all day?
The Holidays have officially arrived. <insert psycho music here>
Yikes!!! Are you ready for the holidays? Have you made a plan yet?
No, I’m not talking about travel arrangements and whose family you’re visiting when (though, that’s always nice to know as well). I’m talking about your health and wellness plan. You know, when you’re going to work out and what you’re going to do. How you’re going to stay on track with your nutrition and juggle all those holiday parties. And also, how you’re going to keep your cool around Uncle Bob. You know, those things.
If you’ve already made a plan, great! That’s awesome and I’m super proud of you. Make sure it’s written down and you have at least one way to keep yourself accountable (I’ll talk about ideas for that next week).
If you haven’t, don’t worry. It’s not too late. Next week I’m going to go through my strategy for creating a holiday game plan that will won’t leave you waking up New Year’s morning wondering how you managed to undo all your hard work in less than two months.
Until then, I’ve collected some of my previous articles to help motivate and inspire you to stick to your heathy routines over the holiday season!

My Favorite Things
I re-wrote the lyrics to The Sound of Music song “My Favorite Things” as part of a gift for my clients several years ago.
