Do THIS if you miss your workout over the holidays : Build Your Fit & Strong Toolbox 1
There’s something you *might* not know about me, and to be totally real with you, it’s a little on the personal side…
But heck, I want you to know that I’ve done my fair share of ignoring my inner #fitandstrong and skipping work outs over the busy holiday season. Maybe this tale (and the tool I created to combat it) can help you avoid the same trap.
So here it goes…
Flashback to Athens, GA, circa December, 1999: I went out to hear some live music (I still love going to shows) and bumped into a boy I was crushing on. He looked at me and said, “DeAnne, I almost didn’t recognize you. Packed on a few lbs, eh?”
My ego was crushed. I tried to pull myself together, but in my embarrassment I decided to stick my head in the sand until the pain subsided.
… that might sound like a metaphor, but it’s for real. I literally left the venue- even though the band had only just started playing- and hid in my room where no one could see me. I dove into my bed and took some deep breaths before finally realizing where I was and how I got there.
I don’t mean where I was as in, lying in my bed. I mean where I was on my #fitandstrong journey.
I was eating anything I wanted, and I couldn’t remember the last time I’d worked out.
As I lay there in bed I reviewed the last 2 months in my mind- I was crazy busy keeping up with my school work, then I travelled for Thanksgiving, came back to final exams, then Hanukkah holidays with my family. Although it all seemed normal at the time, I realized that my calendar/ schedule was in the drivers seat and I was merely a passenger. I pushed my workouts to the side because I was ‘too busy.” This mentality leaked into my nutrition, and I ate whatever I could grab that was fast and convenient. I kind of gave up on myself for a minute, and it showed.
On today’s vlog episode, I’m talking all about what to do when you miss your planned workout over the holidays.
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling trapped by your schedule or blocked-off from feeling fit & strong over the holidays, you won’t want to miss this episode.
This is a three-dimensional tool where I’m sharing:
- A fit & strong holiday workout you can do ANYWHERE when you’re feeling overbooked
- What to do if you’re struggling to get “motivated” (it’s not what you think)
- How to feel fit & strong, even when things aren’t going your way (and why you’d want to)
Talk soon, my #fitandstrong friend,
DeAnne
