How to Survive the Holidays

For most moms the thought of the Holidays not only brings excitement and fun but for a lot of us it also is brings thoughts of stress and anxiety.  Life is busy!  Work, school, kids, lunch, dinners, laundry...and then you add in the "fun"!  And while it is fun, and you would sacrifice almost anything to see the joy on your child's face, IT.IS. EXHAUSTING.  So, naturally, to find the time for all the Holiday extras we usually sacrifice ourselves.  We don't need to workout, we don't need to sit and eat (isn't that what the Halloween candy is for?), we don't need sleep.  We can do all of that next month right?  WRONG! While we are over extending ourselves we are missing out on the fun of the Holidays, not only that but once the Holidays are finished where does it usually leave us?  Totally exhausted, counting down the days where the kids go back to school so we can hope to sneak in a nap, and usually with a few extra pounds than when we started.  Well, NOT THIS YEAR!  How can you avoid that this year?  Here is what I suggest: Join my Holiday Challenge Group!  I know, I know, you are thinking how in the world does this crazy lady think that adding MORE to my plate is going to make things better?  Stick with me for a minute and allow me to explain why I would suggest such a crazy thing.

Question/concern:  How would adding MORE to my plate make things better:
A:  As most of you know, for us to take care of others we need to take care of ourselves first.  The whole "fasten your oxygen mask first" sort of thing.  During the holidays we are asking ourselves to do even more - this is SO HARD when you are giving yourself less.  Less nutrition, less sleep, less exercise - which overall gives you LESS ENERGY.  So you tell me, how can you make your body do more, when you are giving it less?

Question/concern:  Starting a new workout makes me so sore, I don't have the time/energy to deal with being sore and tired.
A:  That is why PiYo is SO AMAZING!   This low impact workout not only gives you cardio and strength training but it incorporates stretching into the workouts which lowers soreness. Instead of being done your workout - or waking up the next morning - feeling old and creaky, you will finish these workouts and feel younger with more energy.  So many of my challengers have had less aches and pains once they started PiYo.

Question/concern:  I don't have TIME!
A: Piyo workouts can be done at home and the workouts range from 20-40 min.  In - out - on with your day!  (and not much room is needed!  If you can put down a yoga mat, you have enough room!)

Question/concern:  I know working out will make me feel better but I can't miss out on all the holiday treats.  I'm not willing to sacrifice this delicious time of year.
A:  Me either!  I LOVE the holidays.  Cookies, FUDGE, pies, FUDGE, sweet breads....FUDGE - you get the idea.  The point isn't to deny yourself of all these holiday goodies, we will show you how to balance them into your diet so that you can enjoy them without going over board - and thus allowing you to indulge and NOT feel guilty!  Win- Win.

Question/Concern:  I don't have time to make two different dinners a night, one for me and one for my family.  Will this still work for me?
A:  YES!  I'm a mother of four and DO NOT have time to make 2 dinners.  In our group I will show you simple ideas to help you plan meals you and your family love, all while keeping  in line with your nutrition!  Also, part of the group is replacing one meal a day with Shakeology, this not only gives you all the nutrients your body needs to function at your best, it is super quick and hands down your healthiest meal of the day!

Here is the thing, from one mom to another, I care enough about you to be honest.  The holidays are a crazy time, but I KNOW that if you join me now you will not regret it.  This truly will be your healthiest and HAPPIEST holiday season ever.  Invest in YOU and your whole family will reap the benefits.
