As the holidays descend upon us, we are faced with the question of all this rich food and the weight we will gain. While the reason for the season may be good cheer and being with family, we sometimes overlook the goals in life that we have to keep our fitness level up. The following tips are good to keep in mind during the holidays:
- Keep your portion size to the size of your fist.
- Eat small portions throughout the day to keep yourself from coming to a holiday feast and wanting to eat everything in sight.
- Keep your exercise regimen and remind yourself to properly replinish your body after hard workouts.
- Remind yourself that it is not the number on scale that counts, rather it is the percentage of fat to muscle that should be your self improvement benchmark.
Mainting control over your food intake is mindfulness eating and the key to any success. Give yourself an advantage and have some good exercise foods on hand. Enjoy the holiday foods also and most of all enjoy the family and friends at this time of year.

Good tips, Mike. It’s winter here, so my biking is on hold until the snow melts. I’m recovering from a stress fracture in my leg, so running has been out for the past couple of months. However, in a couple of weeks I can start on elliptical machines for a few weeks and then back at it in my neighborhood! Goodbye Holiday weight gain…
I really see the logic in your argument but I think you’ve painted your strokes
This is definately a challenging time especially for us that struggle with weight issues. I love to bake for people this time of year and keeping my hand out of the mixing bowl is tough.
Thank you for the reminders Mike; it is true about the scale too. I have gained muscle due to weight training and it is hard to take sometimes because I really need the number on the scale to decrease. I know, it will take time.
I am actually looking forward to the holidays being over so I can quit baking and attending lavish dinners.
Thanks again for the great reminders.
