I'd like to share with you 10 ways, you can follow in your diet and stay in great shape over the holidays. If you follow this advice, then you'll be one of the proud few with the kind of body, you so keenly desire to possess.

Aim To Stay On Your Fitness Program Over The Holidays:

“Fail to plan and you plan to fail” is a time worn statement, but it’s still one of the best success advice you will ever hear.

Not only do most women fail to plan, they consciously plan to fail over the holidays. Most of them expect to “blow” their diet and skip workouts over the holidays. They expect to eat more, to exercise less and to gain weight. As a result, they don’t even make the effort.

You can avoid this trap by planning to succeed through your holidays. Set up a positive expectation. Keep your standards up and don’t settle! Not only can you plan to “stay in shape” over the holidays, you can plan to improve! All you have to do is make the right (realistic) decision and expect success.

Plan All Your Workouts In Advance:

You know your schedule is going to get hectic over the holidays. You'll be cooking, shopping, attending the haphazard routine of the family, going to parties, traveling, visiting friends, and so on. To stay on your training and nutrition regimen is definitely going to take some sound time management skills.

Plan your schedule in advance. Anticipate what's coming up. Write it down. Put it on your calendar. By doing so, you won't be caught unprepared.

Use a schedule book or monthly calendar and “make appointments” for ALL your workouts for the next six weeks well in advance. Then, paste a copy where you will be forced to look at it every day. This is a powerful exercise that will keep you focused and force you to think about and prepare for each upcoming workout.
