Happy Thanksgiving

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind this Thanksgiving:

1️⃣ Enjoy the holiday – spend time with your family, eat good food, drink some wine, and enjoy some homemade desserts

2️⃣ Don’t turn Thanksgiving into a 4-day holiday

I don’t subscribe to a 365-days a year diet. My sweet spot is around 320 days of diet adherence. The other 45 days of the year are reserved for birthdays, holidays, and celebrations.

But that doesn’t mean I go all out on these days – it means I’m going out to eat dinner and eating sensibly the rest of the day. For Thanksgiving, I’m active, I’m eating light, but when it’s time to sit down with my family, you know I’m getting some of that stuffing.

Just remember, Thursday is Thanksgiving. Friday morning, outside of having the day off or going shopping, it’s just another day. Rolling into Saturday and Sunday, we don’t need to continue the feast. Maybe we enjoy a dinner out but this isn’t 96 hours of eating whatever the fuck you want. Because come Monday, you are going to regret it and walking into the holidays, if you don’t start training that muscle of self-control, you’re going to be like every other sucker on January 1st who goes, “Fuck. I’m out of shape. I need to get back in the gym.”
