Happy Holidays To All
I have no doubt that none of us sets out to achieve the statistical 5,7,10 pounds of holiday fat weight gain during the holiday season.
Hopefully you are aware of it and are making efforts to avoid it.
My goal this year is to include as many clients, family and friends as possible and each lose 5,7,10 lbs during the season and be on the positive end of the statistic.
How do we stay focused and on track?
As a general principal, we need to burn more calories than we consume. Sadly during the holidays its easy to consume 2000+, even 3000+ calories at a single meal, never mind the entire day.
Here are My top 2 tips to focus on to stay on track:
#1 - Portion control – basically keep your meal to one plate. Even at a buffet or full spread party, you can enjoy, savor and indulge without overeating.
Keep serving sizes to about the palm of your hand (no fingers, and not piled high).
Think of your plate as divided into quarters – 1 quarter protein, 1 quarter (or less) starchy carbs, 2 quarters bright colored veggies (this doesn’t include sweet potatoes with butter and marshmallows). I’m also in favor of a bit more than 1 quarter protein if you desire a better balance.
#2 – Stay consistent with your exercise – Schedule your workouts like you would an appointment and be sure to keep it.
I recommend early in the day if possible. Most of us get increasingly busy in the afternoon and it’s easy to blow off your workout. - Bad for success.
You can train with us at Primal Fitness, workout in your living room, the gym, our band program (www.fitbodybandprogram.com) or one of my quick workouts from the website. Just get in a workout.
Get an accountability buddy to help. Train with a friend who is counting on you to be there. I train with a friend and if our schedules don’t match, we are required to text “done” when we finish. We treat this as a competition for more fun and inspiration.
I have opened up my schedule at Primal Fitness to a free style format MWF 7:15-10:00 and T/Th 6:00-10:00. (Please text or call so I know to expect you-even last minute is good)
