We are finally here!! 1st December 2010 is a sign that we are nearly at the end of the year and most people seem to be happier and emptying their bank accounts!!
Christmas lunches or evening meals are being served across the land and from a health perpective, its a good chance to see how much you’ve changed in the past year. For example, if you go out and have your first christmas meal and you feel great after it, then you’re probably used to eating all that rich food, which is a sign that you’re not really physically at your best unfortunately.
If you eat the same christmas meal and you feel stodgy and tired afterwards, then thats a good thing believe it or not!! If you eat mince pies and they go through you quickly and you have to go to the toilet sooner than normal, that shows that your body is really not used to rich food, sugary and fatty food and you’re very used to putting very good food into your system normally.
What about your training if you eat rich food throughout december? That will surely go down a couple of levels and your energy levels are likely to be on the floor. You will realise how much good, clean food has on your system and your energy levels, and how really incredible it makes you feel!
You will know this all to be true if you have changed the way you live your life for the better, at least in food and exercise terms anyway!! 2010 SHOULD have been a great year for you, and even if it hasn’t, then you would have started to learn a lot about yourself and how you can improve in 2011 and hopefully reach where you really want to be!
This is me not being a spoilsport either, but i have been through eating all the rubbish all of december in years gone by, and my asthma coming back, putting an extra stone on, feeling as if i don’t want to get up in the morning etc etc are usually at the bottom of my list of priorities these days!! It’s good to eat these foods on occasions throughout christmas, but making the whole month one big excuse is going to make your body into the opposite of what you really want to be.
Most people i train and people i don’t train would/do give a lot to look amazing again, and reclaim their youthful body that they thought was lost forever. The great news AND THE TRUTH IS that you CAN do it if you keep on applying the principles we talk about on here EVERY DAY. There’s heck of a lot of difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it as i keep saying!!
1st december, let’s make it a month when you really enjoy and still feel fantastic all the way through right up until 2011!!
