DO YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS BE ALL IN OR NOTHING AT ALL??

 

 

 

 





Always around this time of year, without fail, I get side tracked from my usual routine of life due to school activities, work parties, holiday family dinners, and holiday celebrations with friends.  And every year....even now, I may say, "I'm too tired to work out, I'm too busy to work out, I'm not eating clean enough right now, I need to go shopping!"  I could go on and on and on.......but just like my repetitive conversations with myself every year, my answer is always the same......"You don't have to give up exercising at this time of year or change the core of who you are just because everything isn't the same way it always is!!!"  So what if your food intake isn't as clean as it always is!  So what if you only have a half an hour to squeeze in exercise!  My point is, "DON'T JUST GIVE UP!!"  This is the time when you need to adjust to life's schedule and not just throw in the towel.  A little exercise is better than no exercise at all and in fact it will help you feel better when all of those wonderful endorphins are released!  Who can't use more endorphins during this stressful time of year!!!   So if you are one of those people who say, "I didn't work out for the whole month of December"..... start this year by replacing it with, "I squeezed in a half an hour today of exercise and I feel great!!!"  Take what little time you have and be good to yourself.....whether it's yoga, meditation, walking, running, or weight training.....I guarantee you, the better you are to yourself, the better you will be to all of those around you and holiday stress will melt away!!!
