Look Out! Here Come the Holidays

33 and 60.  What is that you might ask?  Days.  Thirty-three days until Thanksgiving and sixty days until Christmas.  And for many there is another number to watch out for.  It's the number of pounds people gain over the holidays.  But it doesn't have to be that way.  You can be proactive and avoid gaining any weight this holiday season.  And if you have any extra pounds that you might have gained from previous holiday seasons, you could lose those too.  How?  It's simple. But most people find it hard.
1. Develop a plan
2. Believe in the plan
3. Follow the plan
 The plan should be easy to follow and something you can incorporate into your daily life.  It should be designed with your weak areas in mind. Take small steps to eliminate late night eating, sweets or fried foods.  Cut back or eliminate alcohol.  Eat breakfast.  Drink more water.  Do abdominal crunches, squats and push-ups three days a week.Walk.  Look at your daily lifestyle and write out a plan.  Your life could depend on it!  Remember, discipline weighs ounces, regrets weigh tons.
