The fair is just around the corner. To me, that means the beginning of the eating season. Fun fair foods, followed by Halloween, then Thanksgiving and then Christmas.... and finally the New Years Resolutions! If we (really me) aren't careful, these next 3 months can easily add 5-10 pounds to our bodies. So, now is the time to think about survival strategies; how can we make it through Texas Fall with our health intact!
1. Know whats coming and start planning the strategy now.
2. Control the things you can.
3. Commit to your plan of attack - whatever it is
My plan.
1. For each of the holidays/occasions I will enjoy the day without bleed over into the following days with leftovers. Candy on halloween, ONLY. Fair day will not mean fair week as I continue to feed the sweet tooth. I will not eat the Christmas stress. Thanksgiving will only last a day.
2. I will start each day with my healthy shake, just in case I don't get another chance to add nutrition to my body.
3. I am on the path to being a 100% healthy vegan because I know I feel my best when I eat this way. I will pack my body with as much nutrition as possible.
4. I will make time for pilates 3x a week because I know that my body feels best when I do pilates no matter what other exercises I may do that week.
5. I'll surround myself with buddies to support me in my plan, so I get lots of encouragement and support. I'll find new ways to have fun!
