It’s time to beat the bulge and afternoon post-food trauma naps on the couch this Christmas. Avoid hangovers from
office parties and find your balance as you head into December to end a dynamic year of hard work, vision and
building your business - with a zing!
Here’s my 12 WAYS OF CHRISTMAS to keep you the life of the party and still look and feel fabulous. No new years
diet resolutions for you my friend, as we hit this silly season with the vigor of and the focus of an Olympic athlete.

YOUR GAME PLAN
KNOW THY SELF
CHANGE THAT STORY
First up remember that it’s up to
you how you view the Christmas
season in terms of keeping fit,
healthy and feeling great. If you
enter into it with the mindset
“it’s going to wreck my plan and
be so hard to be good” etc it’s a
reflection you’re still on the diet
and ‘exercise is a chore’ mentality.
Why not approach Christmas as a
time where you can integrate some
healthy habits to maintain rather
than a binge season to regret.
You’re in charge.
If you like to get up early and have
a moment to yourself before the
rest of the family is running about
then keep that up. Holidaying with
friends and family and want to stick
to your routine?
This really relates to point 1. If
you’re reading this then chances
ar e you’re an intelligent mover
and shaker and really don’t need
a lecture on having healthy habits.
So what can you do this year to
change your story and avoid the
internal negotiation “I’ll just have
one…” For example, I know that I
have the 80/20 rule.
Just commit and offer for people
to join but don’t give up on your
plan if they decide to stay on
the sofa with a wine…know your
goals, what things you need to stay
balanced and stick to your plan.
I am generally fit, healthy and eat
well. So having a glass of bubbles
or two is not the end of the world.
Don’t get sucked into the sugar
train this Christmas either. Just
avoid sweets, artificial foods and
anything processed altogether.
Fresh is best. Enjoy amazing
summer produce; bring salads
and berries and fresh deserts and
healthy snacks to family events.
Get inspired to be the best version
of yourself.
