It's time to get back on a healthy track after the holidays. The month of December often packs a mighty punch for most of us who are trying to maintain or lose weight. December is often filled with endless amounts of chocolates, desserts and fat-laden entrees. These food choices are often eaten in combination with a side of guilt and a few extra pounds. Thankfully we all made it through the never ending buffet of December with only a few battle scars.
By the New Year, we have reaffirmed our commitment to a healthy lifestyle only to find ourselves, ordering a delectable treat from our favorite bakery a week later. How do we get back on track? I thought you would never ask. We calibrate by putting our good practices back into action. We have to set realistic short-term goals that are easy to follow and then increase the intensity as we go along. Here are 5 steps to help you get back on a healthy track after the holidays.
