Prepare for Christmas!




With only 51 days to Xmas (!), it's time to get your diet and exercise regime sorted, with on average, people adding around 7-9lbs over the Xmas period!

Christmas parties are regularly used for hitting the drink, and bashing the company expenses.

Christmas day people tend to eat and drink more than they should, and often complain of feeling stuffed!

Between Christmas and New Year, every leftover is eaten, both from your house, and those you visit!

New Years Eve the body takes another battering as per the above.

Therefore, use the time now leading up to the Xmas period to lose some weight, get fitter and healthier, so that the pending impact is not as damaging. I'd be a hypocrite to say you should not be gaining weight over Christmas, it is a time when the whole family are together, and you tend to 'enjoy' things more than you should. If you can lose the weight now, you;ll not only look great for the Christmas parties, but you'll be one step ahead of the rest, who come New Year, will be bleating on about joining the gym, cutting out chocolate and all the other excuses we hear year in and year out, before being forgotten by mid January!

Be a trend setter, not a follower, and take the initiative. Use my 'Drop a size' plan, exercise hard, and then enjoy Christmas, before starting afresh for 2009!

Just a small point on this one but xmas parties and lunches have already started, Doh should have asked earlier.

Drop a size plan does work if only half the house follow it.
