Christmas is just around the corner, and the excitement is palpable – the festive decorations, the joyous carols, and the promise of delicious holiday feasts.

The All-or-None Mentality:
Ah, the all-or-none mentality – a common culprit that tends to rear its head during the Christmas season. The idea of either devouring all the Christmas calories or committing to eat none on January 1st is a well-known dilemma. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work. It’s not sustainable, and it certainly isn’t a lifestyle. As someone who’s been there, done that, and given it a one-star review, I can attest that this approach rarely delivers the desired results.
Starting a Fitness Program During Christmas:
Contrary to popular belief, Christmas can be an excellent time to kickstart your fitness and health journey. Why? Because if you can navigate the festive season without succumbing to excuses, you’re setting the stage for long-term success. It’s about learning to dance with life’s choices, understanding that one indulgent dessert doesn’t have to derail your entire plan for the week. Embracing fitness as a lifestyle, rather than a temporary fix, is key to finding enjoyment in the journey.
The Enterprise Guide to Surviving the Silly Season:

It’s a quick listen loaded with valuable insights that can make your Christmas both enjoyable and guilt-free.

Maintaining a Healthy Mindset:
As I write this, I find myself in Florida, far from my usual fitness routine. I’ve managed only five workouts in two weeks, but I’m not phased. Why? Because my mantra remains unwavering: I am a healthy person who eats nourishing foods. This mindset, this default, is what keeps me on track even during the holiday season. Christmas may be around the corner, but it doesn’t have to disrupt your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
As the Enterprise Santa, I encourage you to approach this Christmas with a new mindset – one that allows you to enjoy the festivities without compromising your fitness goals. The Enterprise Guide to Surviving the Silly Season is your blueprint for navigating the holiday season with grace, balance, and a touch of merriment. So, train hard, stay merry, and have a fit and fabulous Christmas!
