OH! Magazine - Australian Version November 2013 (Australian Version) | Page 3

BRACE YOURSELF – FOR THE SILLY SEASON! The festive season is fast approaching, making right now the best time to prepare for battle! By being in shape, establishing healthy routines, and kicking bad habits before the silly season arrives, you will maximise your chances of minimising the detrimental impact of the onslaught of celebrations that will, no doubt, be headed your way. I hope some of the information contained in the following pages assists and inspires you to make friends with all that is good for your health and wellbeing. This way, when the craziness does come knocking on your door next month, you can feel guilt-free welcoming it with open arms (and, as a result, escape relatively unscathed by the high calorie, low nutritious foods and potentially copious amounts of booze that will be on offer!).
