The fall happens to be my absolute favorite season; the changing leaves, the cooler weather, the smell of pumpkin and spice, my birthday and wedding anniversary (both of which happen to be during this great season) – I love it all.
Well, perhaps “all†is not quite accurate. The fall marks the beginning of the holiday season, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all following one right after the other. I absolutely adore the holidays; however, I loathe the inevitable weight gain I experience each year. I just can’t seem to resist all the delicious treats that find their way into my home. While I don’t experience massive weight gain, I think I speak for most women when I say that even those five extra pounds can be a downer.
However, this year I have pledged that things will be different; I am going to break out my dusty gym pass, exercise regularly, take a weight loss supplement, and implement healthier eating habits. This in no way means I am going to restrict my favorite holiday desserts but I am going to be conscious about how and what I partake of.Â
If anyone has effective, interesting, or fun ways to tackle holiday weight gain, we would love to hear from you! Whether it is a favorite exercise, outdoor activity, or specific eating habit, now is the time to start your healthy regiment to ensure you do not gain additional weight during the upcoming holidays.
