The holiday season can be a tough time to stick to your health and fitness goals, but it’s not impossible! Here are some simple yet effective tips to help you enjoy the season and stay on track: 1. Plan Your Week Ahead • Take 10 minutes every Sunday to map out your meals and workouts. • Treat your workouts like appointments—non-negotiable! 2. Prioritize Protein • Start every meal with protein to help you feel full longer. • Keep high-protein snacks like boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or turkey jerky on hand. 3. Stay Hydrated • Drink a glass of water before meals and holiday parties. • Add festive flair with lemon, mint, or berries in your water! 4. Be Strategic at Parties • Fill half your plate with veggies first, then add protein and small portions of your favorite treats. • Practice the “two-bite rule” for indulgent desserts—two mindful bites and move on. 5. Keep Moving • Can’t make it to the gym? A 15-20 minute home workout still counts! • Family walks after meals are a great way to stay active and connect. 6. Don’t Skip Meals • Eat balanced meals throughout the day to avoid overindulging at parties. 7. Manage Stress • Take 5-10 minutes daily to breathe, journal, or practice gratitude. • Prioritize sleep—your body will thank you! 8. Set Realistic Goals • Focus on maintaining your progress rather than trying to lose weight during the holidays. • Celebrate small wins, like choosing water over soda or squeezing in a quick workout. This holiday season is about balance, not perfection. Enjoy the treats, cherish the moments, and remember: progress is still progress, no matter how small. What’s one tip you’ll try this week?

If anyone hasn’t reached level 2 like me (cause I procrastinated commenting) - don’t choose to not workout. My friend (who’s been a CrossFit trainer for 10 years) has a follow along basic workout on YT that I go to when I need to get that death sweat going ☺️

I'm trying this in hopes of learning more ways to stay healthy. It helps me to see how others are succeeding.

I got a frozen bag full of delicious veggies at Costco that were ready to throw on a sheet pan in the oven! They were a big holiday success!
