Thanksgiving is tomorrow!! A day of feasting and gratitude, spending time with family, and generally thinking of all the things that we are thankful for. Speaking of feasting, I often get questions about what to do around this time of year. "Should I watch what I eat on Thanksgiving? There are so many goodies!! I want to stay fit, but OMG, the PIE!!!"
I have a simple solution...eat whatever you want. It's a holiday, a special day, so go enjoy it. AND get up and go run that morning. Do some burpees, for goodness sake! Sneak a workout in there somewhere, and when Friday comes, sneak in another!! One day of feasting will not break you, especially if you've been consistently eating right and exercising for some time already. Similarly, if you've been totally sedentary and eating nothing but drive-thru food, one day of working out and eating right will not turn you into Rich Froning or Annie Thorisdotter. It's all about the long haul, people. It's what you do consistently over a long period of time that makes the difference.
So go be thankful...share the day with family and friends, enjoy the day without guilt. And then get right back to getting your SWEAT on!!
