So our last 2 posts have given you an outline if what you can do to drop 3 – 5kgs between now and Christmas. If you have started and are still on the plan, then keep doing it!!
If you haven’t then you probably missed the boat to dropping
those type of numbers so it’s time to start looking forward to 2014.
The best thing you can do between now and Jan 1st,
is to minimise the damage. Set yourself up now to be able to enjoy the festive
season without worry so that when you reach Jan 1st and time to get
in shape (again!!), you can start from a neutral position, not in 5kgs in red
from an out of control December.
So as well as taking up the points from out previous 2 post’s,
here’s another one you can implement and it’s pretty easy.
Don’t have a cheat meal if you haven’t trained that day.
SIMPLE!!
December can be choc-full of lunches and dinners with
various break ups and events, but this simple rule will at least have you
earning your cheat meals.
This will work in 2 ways.
1 – If you have a planned event on a day, lunch or dinner,
then make sure you train THAT day.
2 – If you’re just out and about then eat clean if you haven’t
trained that day.
This rule will work best if you make the right decision of
where you are right there and then. Don’t think “I’ll have this cake and train
later” because we all know how that goes don’t we...
Now when I say training, I don’t mean a leisurely walk at
lunch time. You need to actually be out of breathe to the point that you can’t
hold a normal conversation.
Walking is only good if you’re doing everything else
perfectly in regards to training and nutrition. It does minimal on its own.
Make the effort TODAY and have a guilt free Christmas!
