A Short Challenge

I don’t know about you, but for me, the last 2 months of the year are deadly for my waistline. Despite my discipline and my passion for fitness, I find that there are too many temptations around during the holiday season – whether it is the cold weather tempting me to stay home instead of go to the gym, holiday dinners tempting me to go back for more helpings, or those oh so tempting desserts that seem to always call my name. There’s temptation anywhere.

I don’t think trying to stay healthy during the holidays is impossible nor do I think that trying to be a bit disciplined and aware of choices is something that should be seen as a punishment, something getting in the way of enjoying our celebrations.

I know that I’m tired of waking up on January 1^st and thinking – oh man, I’ve gained weight again and now I’ve got to work extra hard (again) to try to get this weight off – along with the rest of the weight I’m trying to lose as well.

I don’t want to end 2014 feeling disappointed nor do I want to begin 2015 feeling overwhelmed. 

With that in mind, I'm thinking of setting up a short challenge to help but I'm gauging interest before I fully go for it. The basic outline is below (further details coming soon). It's not about restricting any foods or anything -- just about being a bit mindful through the holidays so a weigh in on January 1st won't be intimidating! :)
