5 Ways to Thrive Through the Holiday Food Frenzy

So, temptation has arrived.

Goodies of all sorts are available and waiting for you.

And you want to dive in.

But you don’t want to.

And you want to indulge and let loose.

But you don’t really want to.

Part of you loves this time of year, and wants to try all the things.

But another part of you wants this year to be different.

She doesn’t want to gain the five pounds, or feel crappy and bloated, or have the whole holiday revolve around food.

When you LOVE someone, you want to take care of them.

You want to make them feel good.

In short, you want them to feel loved.

But, when it comes to loving yourself, do you feel loved?

Sadly, most of us say we don’t.

And I think it’s because we don’t stop.

I’m working on strengthening my upper body.

For the past year or so, I’ve been having shoulder issues.

And I feel like I’ve lost some muscle in my arms and shoulders in general.

So, I’ve decided to get stronger.

Now I’m working out my arms and shoulders every second day.

And I have to say, it feels great.

However, this past weekend was so busy, and I didn’t get my arm workout in.

I know, it sounds like an excuse, right?

But…

You wanted to do a workout.

You wanted to make a salad for supper.

You wanted to get to bed at 9.

But…

None of it happened.

Why?

Why is it, that even though the day started out great – good breakfast, salad at lunch, healthy snack… – it frequently ends on a sour note?
