December Done Right: Celebrate, Thrive, and Finish Strong!

I used to “CRAMP UP” during December. I always OVERDID it. Decorating TOO much, buying gifts for EVERYONE, making family FAVORITES, attending ALL of the parties with appetizers, drinks, and LOTS of sweets, then working up to the last day and RUSHING home to “be festive.” 

I’ve learned to MODERATE my “holiday activities” and definitely be kind to my wellness goals.

Here are my tips to enjoy the season and stay on track:

1. Accept that this is NOT the month for dieting.

2. Focus on my progress and not going for perfection.

3. Plan ahead with lists -- Eliminate something before adding anything new.

4. Get in daily walks.

5. Do NOT skip sleep.

Remember: It’s okay to enjoy yourself! Balance and moderation are your best friends. The holidays are meant to be celebrated—just don’t let a few parties turn into a full month of overindulgence.

I'd love to hear how your plans to stay strong this December are going, -- send us your tips!
