Don’t delay, tomorrow starts today!

How many of us say “I’ll wait till the new year” to delay joining a group? A few extra nibbles and drinks in November (hot dogs at fireworks night, early festive sessions) can easily add 1lb a week, then we hit the party season, drinks and parties and take outs can easily add 1.5lb a week and then there is the week, or 10 days, or fortnight itself if we are lucky its only 2lb a week gain so between now and joining in January “waiting till the new year” means that you are over a stone heavier than starting now!

A little bit of food for thought for you all this week.
It’s 45 days til Christmas!

55 days until our 1st check in of the new year. Let’s just say you’ve got 4 Christmas parties or nights out before Christmas (I should be so lucky haha).

We’ll call these celebration days. Then we have Christmas Eve, what do you normally do on Christmas Eve? A meal out? A takeaway? A few drinks?

Ok we’ll add that to our celebration days.

Christmas Day, Christmas dinner that’s an easy one really, but then there’s dessert, Christmas cake, a few chocolates? Yes?

We’ll add that on too.

Boxing Day! That’s my downfall buffet food, nibbles, pickies and drinks. I love nibbles and can easily sit and nibble until I’m full. So yeah we’ll add that one to our list of celebration days making it 7.

Then we have New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Do you celebrate one or both of those days?
Let’s just say both. That’s 9 celebration days in total. Let’s just say you won’t plan or track any of those days because it’s only Christmas once a year!

57 – 9 = 46

So you have 46 days where you could potentially plan, track and stay on plan and still enjoy Christmas.

How much damage can you do in 9 days of celebrations?
Half a stone? Maybe more?

My point here is if you could do that damage in 9 days, then how much damage could you do in 57 days if you didn’t check in? If you just thought oh you know what? It’s nearly Christmas and I’ve got too much on so I’ll just wait until the new year now and start afresh.

It doesn’t bear thinking about does it?
I really think I’d do some damage in that time. Just like I said a few week’s ago! Losing and gaining those same pounds or stones.

It’s damage limitation.

So join one of my classes now, or if you already have, stay in class, keep checking in and stay on plan as best you can even if you do decide you’re gonna enjoy Christmas it doesn’t matter. There’s a huge difference between enjoying 9 days or over indulging for 57.

None of us want to go back to the beginning of our journeys now do we?

We can all do this and still enjoy our celebrations 🎄💪🏼🎄
We’ve got you covered!
Have your own back ❤️
