Every time the holiday season rolls around, I squirm a little. It’s that time of year for the avalanche of blog posts, articles, and videos, all around how to eat healthy, how to stick to whatever diet you are on, how to stay on track, etc.

And every time,  I always roll my eyes when I read them and I’m just like URRRGGGHHH!

Because why do we always have to be so proper, and stay away from fat, or carbs, or whatever we are supposed to stay away from these days??

Why do we always have to restrict ourselves?

Why can’t we all just have some fun, let go for a bit, eat whatever, drink whatever and be ok with it and not feel bad about it?

For just a few weeks! Is that so bad?

So, because I like to lead by example, here’s what I’m going to do this Christmas:

And I’m going to be happy in the process, because these are the things you are supposed to do at Christmas!

Because having fun and enjoying yourself, and laughing, and letting go, is actually good for you and reduces stress!

And I’m not going to worry about how much I’m eating and drinking, and put myself down because this thing had 200 calories and now I have to be on the treadmill for like 2hrs.

So, this Christmas, here is my health tip for you:

 

Eat your chocolate. Have fun with your family. Enjoy the treats. Drink. And be merry!

 

Because that’s what you’re supposed to do at Christmas! Enjoy! 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Still want to stay healthy this holiday season?

If you really do want to stay healthy this Christmas and pretend you aren’t tempted by all the goodies, then last year I wrote a blog post with a few actual tips and tricks on how to keep on top of things over the holidays. All of my tips still apply! Feel free to check it out: Your complete guide to survive the holidays and not get fat

 

About me

After being skinny unfit for the majority of my life, I discovered fitness by accident once I became a mom and started working out with my husband. A couple of years later, I started Tone Every Zone out of an overwhelming desire to help other busy individuals and couples juggle a hectic lifestyle while staying active.

My mission is to teach people about fitness and work with them as a team to make long lasting lifestyle changes. My personal values include being professional, honest and transparent in all of my doings but also being funny and silly because that’s what makes life (and your training sessions) fun!

Every day I hear from tons of individuals and couples who are dying to get more active but they just need that extra push! Getting people started on a fitness program is what I love to do.  Check out my personal training packages and share your story with me so I can help you reach your fitness goals!
