Are You Ready?
Now that Halloween's behind us, you'll start hearing that infamous line that everyone starts saying to each other around this time of year: Are you ready for the holidays?
Are you? And if so, what does it mean to be ready? When most people ask, they're most likely asking if you have your shopping done. But when we ask, we want to know if you're ready for the barrage of activity - parties, family and social events and the general busyness that has a way of sabotaging our healthy intentions during the holiday season (and oh yeah, also ends up in the form of that extra weight we'll look to lose come January).
However, if you head into the holidays with a P-L-A-N, and at the heart of that plan, an intention to stay on a healthy path - you'll be armed and much more likely to succeed. Here's a little checklist to help ensure you're ready.
- Do you have a regularly scheduled exercise plan?
- What will you do when (not IF) your schedule and plans are inevitably messed with?
- What will you do at those parties where there's nothing but junk food as far as the eye can see?
