Holiday dinner or nah?

It's the holiday season, yay! The holiday season is a great time for family, celebration, and observance, but don't let this festive time knock you off your game when it comes to your weight/body/fitness goals. I came back from the Thanksgiving week weighing in at 194lbs on that Monday, after I had gotten down to my lowest of 187 the week before. Now on my journey it hasn't been strange for me to fluctuate 2lbs between visits to the scale, but to gain 7lbs in one week I knew I had caught myself slipping. What can I say? I was indulging in that good ol Mac n cheese, stuffing, potato salad, greens, green bean casserole, cornbread, cheesecake, red velvet cake (wipes drool)... and enjoying veggie burgers with extra mayo, pickles, cheese, and fries (thank you Burger King!) while traveling up and down the road to my destinations. On top of all that, I only worked out one time that week. All that is said to let you know it is ok during this season to enjoy your family and friends and that good soul food (or Caribbean, Italian, what have you) as well! Just make sure you don't use that holiday dinner as an excuse to completely get off track. After my "slippage" I got back on track with my healthy eating and went hard in my gym and home workouts and I am glad to say that six days later I am six pounds lighter, weighing in today at 188. #FIT
