Title:	Five Weight Loss Survival Tips For The Festive Season
Article:	The following article provides you wit hsome great tips on hw to manage your health, fitness and weight loss during the christmas season. Tip 1: Set some goals around what you would ideally like to achieve during the festive season and commit to them 100%. You always get what you focus on the most, so make sure your goals are healthy ones during the not so healthy season. Remember to make your goals as realistic as possible so that achieving them is in balance with the extra curricular demands of your social calendar. Tip 2: Plan ahead Planning will help reduce the possibility of any interruptions to your weekly schedule. Once you have identified an achievement plan for each of your goals, create a list of alternative strategies that you can apply if any obstacles do arise. Invariably something will come up no matter how strong your best intentions are to stay on track, so it is important to remain flexible. Allowing yourself to be flexible means you will not beat yourself up for not sticking fully to your goal achievement plans during the festive season. Tip 3: Watch what you eat If you are going to be eating out at a function or event , ring the restaurant or venue in advance and check that the menu supports your nutritional goals. If not, then fill yourself up on natural, healthy food a few hours beforehand so that you only need to eat the healthiest entre or a salad. If you are going to drink alcohol, keep hydrated by consuming one glass of water between each alcoholic drink. This will be in addition to the 2 -3 litres of purified water that you normally drink throughout the day. Tip 4: Perform at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 or more times per week. A successful training program will include a combination of resistance, cardio and flexibility training. I strongly recommend that you perform your exercise program in the mornings before work, so that you avoid any possible distractions. Tip 5: Achieve your goals with a friend or family member. This will keep you both accountable to each other and enhance the adherence to your goal achievement plan. After the christmas period you may want to do a detox to remove some of the toxins you have ingested over the silly season. To do this you may want to establish a system for elimination A system for elimination gives you the means to remove toxins and unnecessary clutter from your life. Toxins can be mental, emotional, spiritual or physical and often come in the form of addictions and unfinished business. Unfinished business can be anything that you have started but not finished; this traps energy in the past. If you do not have 100 percent of your energy available in the present you will not be as productive as you can possibly be. Some simple tips to help you remove toxins from your life include: 1. Write a list of all your unfinished business and complete all of it within seven days of christmas. 2. Remove toxic thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours from your mind by focusing on what you do want in your life, not on what you dont want. 3. De-clutter and simplify your life, tidy your house, car, garage, wardrobe, office and so on. 4. Eliminate any old energy that no longer serves you. Well there you go, there are 5 easy weight loss survival tips for the silly season as well as a detox program for after it. Merry Chistmas.
