We Don't Have to Wait Until New Year's To Get Back on Track!

Oh yeah!  There's little doubt that most of us are looking just like the grabby Octopus at certain times during the holiday season.  For the most part, there's no way of getting around that fact during this time of the year.  We also know that there are times we can make every effort to get back on track as soon as possible.

It's a heck of a lot better than chalking it up and waiting until the first of the year to go on a the latest or greatest "diet".  We don't have to wait.  There are measures we can take right now.  We can begin to try to work off some of the extra calories each day.  We can rid our home of the high fat items that are leftover from the holiday meals.  We can freeze them or give them away.  As I've stated before, it's not the one day holiday itself that presents a major problem, it's the days after where we repeat eating the rich leftover foods!  Yikes!

It was great to see so many people jogging the day after Christmas.  People of all sizes were making great attempts at working off the extras they had eaten the previous day.

Most of us know that we're not going to work off all of the extra calories in one day but heck, it's a start and it doesn't take long at all to take off a little weight over a couple of week's time.

I'm going to do my best to return to my normal healthy eating pattern until the first of the new year.  At the start of the new year, I will create a small deficit in order to take off a few extra pounds I've put on over the holidays. 

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
