Thinner Thanksgiving Tip #4: Be reasonable, Be Thankful
Let’s be reasonable. You know what you need to do tomorrow to be successful. Lighten up where you can, be active where you can and watch your portions. But tomorrow, give yourself a break! You probably won’t do perfect; you will probably eat something you didn’t mean to; you might even feel over full after the meal. However, it’s THANKSGIVING! Enjoy the company and do the best you can with the food. I think if you have a plan before going in, you’ll probably do fine!
If you have shared your diet plan with friends and loved ones, they will be watching you and what you eat tomorrow. If you are toward the beginning of your journey, people will be looking to see if you can do it. If you’re in the middle or end like I am, people will be watching to see how to do it! Use your new health plan as a talking point so that you’re keeping it at the front of your mind but also just enjoying the day. People will expect you to fail, show them you can do it!
Also tomorrow, don’t forget to be thankful. I’m not talking about the regular list of being thankful for friends and family. This year, celebrate and be thankful for your own health. Tomorrow morning, you’ll find me and my reluctant hubby, at a special 9 am workout that my gym is holding. (If you are in the Denver area, Cole Fusion Fitness, 11th and Bannock, 9:00 am!) I’ll be thanking my body by putting it through what is sure to be an insane workout. Why? Because 2 years ago I could have never done something like this! Thank your body for it’s health!
I won’t be posting tomorrow, as it is Thanksgiving. Good luck with your holiday and staying on track. Remember, it isn’t about the food, it’s about the company. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
