Hitch Fit Living Magazine Volume 3 - November/December 2015 | Page 3

The Holiday season is here! I know this typically isn't the time of year that people put a great deal of focus on their fitness goals. But why not? I think it should be just the opposite. Imagine how great it would feel to start the 2016 New Year having already achieved your fitness goal, or at least being in progress and on plan towards achieving it. Wouldn't that feel amazing? To be ahead of the game in the New Year, ready to tackle other personal goals because you're already leading a fit and healthy lifestyle. How great would it feel to show up to holiday parties in a new outfit that you feel incredible in? Or imagine having accountability through the holidays so that you don't gain extra fat weight to begin with. I know what you're thinking... "I'm too busy during the holidays," "I travel during the holidays," "It's too hard to eat healthy during holidays," "I have too many parties to go to," "I don't want to miss out on eating something." Yes, I've heard all of these reasons and many more! But here's the thing. When we are talking about learning and developing a healthy lifestyle, this means there are ALWAYS going to be travel plans, holidays, parties and busy lifestyle to contend with. It's not likely that life will slow down even in the New Year. I've heard people say that year after year they resolved to improve their health and fitness, and year after year they didn't do it. They got to the New Year and were STILL busy, so they continued to put off change, always waiting for the "ideal" time. Another thing to consider is the true meaning of the holiday seasons. I know that over indulgence is a part of our culture, so it is quite an epiphany to people who discover that they can truly enjoy holidays, time with friends and family, the true reasons for the season, and make healthy eating choices at the same time! When making healthy choices becomes a part of you, and simply what you do, then it makes no difference what time of year it is or what is happening around you. There's no time like the present to start learning and implementing those healthy habits. In fact, I think that people who embrace a lifestyle transformation during times of perceived obstacles, will end up having a higher rate of long term success. If you are currently leading a fit and healthy lifestyle, then that is excellent! In this new issue of Hitch Fit Living magazine, we've got great new articles and transformation stories to share. As always we hope that you will find continued incentive, ideas and motivation from Hitch Fit to stay on course. Thank you for taking your time to check out Hitch Fit Living!
