That's Fit

Planning on blaming Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Thanksgiving on your jeans being so tight in January? Sorry Charlie! That excuse doesn't cut it anymore. You have the same ability to choose chicken and broccoli for dinner in December as you do in June. Don't fall in to that craptastic spiral of feeling like you have no control over this month. You do, and I won't accept your excuses!

You come to this site to gain fitness knowledge and also the strength to do the right thing for yourself. Well here it is. I am your ThatsFit.com fitness trainer and I am giving you the advice you need to hear. Don't make excuses, make plans. Plans to hit the gym, go for a run, or ride your bike. Make plans to provide a veggie platter at the holiday party, so if everything else is oozing with grease and sugar you'll have something to eat that isn't!

You, ThatsFit.com reader are dedicated to fitness. You care about health and the way your jeans fit. Keep those priorities clear throughout this festive season. Enjoy the music, the friends, the presents, and more! I want you to have fun, go ahead! Fun is healthy. Gorging is not.

Since there are too many millions of you to harass daily like I do my personal training clients, pay close attention right now. Regret sucks! Don't get to January 5th and wonder what the heck happened. Start the new year off with a sense of accomplishment. Do whatever you have to do to make progress. You are human for crying out loud! You have the ability to reason and make analytical decisions. Make them! Choose yourself. Choose health and life and that feeling of pride and accomplishment. You can do this!

But if you choose not to, don't blame the holidays! Blame that person in the mirror.
