Did you know that most Americans will consume over 4500 calories at this Thanksgiving dinner?!
Does that sound crazy to you? It should! Now that you are AWARE of the ‘over eating’ and high calories that tend to take place, make yourself accountable and stick to a plan.

I suggest that you enjoy your dinner. Have a glass of wine or two…enjoy the food. Enjoy doesn’t mean stuff yourself silly! Remember to keep the gathering about catching up with family/friends, it’s not all about the food! Likely, however, you will be taking in a higher amount of calories than you are used to.

Okay, so more importantly…what is your plan of action to burn off those extra calories?! Thanksgiving DAY (notice it’s only 1 day) does not mean you go off of your workout and nutrition plan for a week! So…will you fit in an extra day of cardio to burn off those extra calories? Will you go for a brisk walk? Maybe you can get creative and fit in another workout day? Or, you can eat really clean for the rest of the week.

Are you looking for that motivational burst to get you excited and pumped to workout each day?! Are you having a hard time sticking to a plan? Do you find that you will be totally motivated for a few days and then lack any desire to workout? If this sounds like you, you may want to check out Unstoppable Fat Loss. It is an audio series filled with 42 interviews of people that have achieved amazing fat loss success. Their stories will blow your mind. These people had severe limiting beliefs and were able to overcome these limitations to achieve the body of their dreams. I’m sure you will be able to relate to many of the people on these calls.

Whatever you decide, the crucial thing is that you do HAVE A PLAN in place. You are willing to take in the extra calories on Thanksgiving, but you know you will need to burn them off in some way. GREAT! You are the winner here! You are going enjoy your meal, guilt free, BECAUSE you have taken the responsibility to come up with an action plan.

It all comes back down to the basics here folks…PROGRESS = BURN MORE CALORIES THAN CONSUMED.

Have an ‘Unstoppable Day!’

Cheers to health,
