This Week’s Thoughts. 💭 

I love Christmas.

And I’m yet to meet anyone who doesn't.

It’s the best time of the year.

Family, friends, and most importantly, food.

As someone actively in a calorie deficit, I dread the thought of turning down a glass of Bailey’s or not having the most ridiculous leftover toastie on Boxing Day.

I have done it in years past, and it’s just not worth it.

This year I will not be stressing about alcohol or calories.

But this does not mean I will be completely abandoning the ship. It just means I have a plan in place for damage limitation, as well as a few non-negotiables in my routines and habits.

It also does not mean I will be taking a few weeks off and magically turning into a new person on January 1st.

This never happens, don’t lie to yourself.

Below I will give some guidelines and strategies to not lose yourself this Christmas:

Quote of the Week 💬 

How to "Healthily" Navigate the Festive Period. 🎄

The holidays are filled with indulgence, social gatherings, and temptations that can derail progress on good habits.

Will I have several nights out where I drink 10+ pints?

Yes.

But the day after will I lie in bed, scroll on TikTok, and order a takeaway.

Most likely.

But, during that day will I get some form of exercise in, drink loads of water, get some reading in, and practice gratitude.

Yes, undoubtedly.

So, here are some practical ways to stay consistent without missing out on the joy of the season:

1. Set Non-Negotiables: Decide on a few key habits you’ll prioritize, like staying hydrated, taking daily walks, or practicing mindfulness.

   These serve as anchors even during indulgent periods.

2. Plan for Indulgence: Accept that you’ll enjoy treats or drinks, but set limits beforehand (e.g., two desserts per week or a drink-free day after a party).

   Planning removes guilt and keeps balance in check.

3. Avoid All-or-Nothing Thinking: One big meal or a few drinks won’t undo your progress. Instead of giving up on your habits entirely, focus on small wins each day.

If you get bucked off the horse, get straight back on.

That’s all for this week! Any questions?
