Be Thankful – For the Ability to Make Change
With Thanksgiving upon us, we should all take a look at our lives and be thankful for everything we have been blessed with and the ability to make change. Sure, we could complain about certain things in different areas of our lives, but in the end, things could always be worst. Look at all the people around you who are much worse off and realize you don’t have it nearly as bad as you think.
That being said, you should also be thankful for the ability to make change in your life. This can be in the form of a profession or even your health. We all have the ability to lose body fat and gain muscle. It’s not something that will come without dedication and work, but then again nothing worthwhile comes easy. You are not handcuffed when it comes to what goals you set for yourself.
Gobble until you wobble? Not exactly.
Just because the holiday is here and the table will be full of tempting foods you normally wouldn’t eat, enjoy yourself. It’s one day. Now, I’m not saying you should eat everything in sight, have some restraint—but at the same time enjoy the delicious food that was prepared. In order to keep you on the right track, I do have some Thanksgiving Day tips for you below that you can utilize.
1. Exercise early in the day
Mealtime is generally either lunch or dinner (or both). Fit in a workout before the day gets started so you’re already one step ahead of the game. You already know that you’re going to consume some foods normally on the “no-no list” so get that metabolism revving and burn off some calories in the morning. If you wait until later in the day, the chance of you actually following through with a workout could be slim to none.
2. Water is your best friend
I’m not saying you can’t have an alcoholic beverage or two with your friends and family, but the bulk of your fluids for the day should be in the form of water. We already know the many benefits of drinking water from the health and hydration side of the spectrum, but water is a great way to keep yourself “full” so you don’t overeat. Prior to the meal, drink a glass of water which will partially fill up your stomach so you aren’t as tempted to go back for seconds (or thirds). To make change, you need to make changes. It’s as simple as that.
