3 Ways You Can Stay on Track During the Holidays

Friends, I have a simple 7-word question for you today. It’s short, sweet, and asking yourself this question will help you stay on track and finish the year feeling strong and in control.

Even better, it will help you build momentum into 2025. Here it is … EVERY TIME you are faced with a temptation that will pull you off track with your health and fitness goals, ask yourself:

How will this make you feel tomorrow?

At some point this month you’re going to be tempted to put your goals on hold. 

DON’T DO IT.

It’s SO MUCH EASIER to stay on-track than it is to get BACK on track. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

I have never met a person who was happy about retracing their steps.

This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your holiday favorites – just be intentional about it.

Skip the grocery store cookies and have an apple or some nuts instead. But definitely enjoy your family’s “secret recipe” holiday treats and traditions!

If you feel yourself veering off course, here are 3 ways you can bring yourself back on track

  • If you don’t have time for your normal workout, do a quick 10-minute routine.
    Doing some squats and push-ups (or whatever exercises you choose) before your morning shower will go a long way toward keeping up your healthy habits.
  • Keep up with your sleep and self-care routines. This will help you avoid feeling stressed and overwhelmed!
  • Block off some intentional time to unplug, relax, and refocus.

Personally, I want to start 2025 feeling energized and plan on making it an amazing year. I hope you’ll join me!

You got this!
