The Dreaded Holiday Weight Gain
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.
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.
