Temptations of Christmas

I recently saw a survey that came to the conclusion that over the Christmas break people put on an average of four pounds (approx 2 kgs) of weight.

I guess I can believe that!

So I surveyed some of my clients and came up with a wide ranging figure from losing 2 pounds ( I like that diet!!) to putting on 10!!!

So let's take the extreme figure.

Come Jan 5th (no one starts a diet on new years day!!) if they haven't already, the resolutions kick into full swing and people go at it with avengance! But if they have put on 10 pounds over the break it will take the whole of January (at least) to get back to the pre-xmas bodyweight. Now I don't know about you but most of the people I know have already come off the resolution wagon loooong before the end of the month.

I guess what I'm trying to say is over the Christmas break move your arse!!!

Go for a run, walk, lift some weights or, if you really want to hit the ground running, start the diet on Boxing Day. Give yourself the chance to make 2009 the year you really look after your health.
