How To Avoid Busting Your Belt This Holiday Season
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, and every holiday party in between…We’ve got A LOT of temptations coming our way between now and January. Most people say, “SCREW IT,” and they just overeat, stop exercising and then once January rolls around they’ve managed to pack on 1, 5, or even 10 pounds. I think I read somewhere that the average person gains 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and the New Years.
If you have been exercising daily like you should and eating right, then what was the the point of doing all of that if you’re just going to throw it all away and stuff yourself with grandma’s mac and cheese and loads and loads of cookies?
