Here’s how to keep your goals intact and still enjoy every bite.

1. Change the Goal: Maintain, Don’t Perfect

You don’t need to lose weight or hit new PRs during the holidays — just maintain. Shift your mindset from “all or nothing” to “stay consistent enough.” Even showing up 70% will keep you in the game.

2. Prioritize Movement

You might not get your full workout in every day, and that’s okay. But move your body.

    •    Go for a family walk.

    •    Do a 15-minute bodyweight circuit before your day starts.

    •    Stretch or foam roll before bed.

Movement keeps your energy up, digestion working, and mindset grounded.

3. Eat Wild, Not Mindless

Enjoy the foods you love — just stay intentional.

    •    Start with protein and veggies first.

    •    Drink water between meals.

    •    Eat slowly and listen to your hunger cues.

You don’t need to skip dessert. Just don’t turn one slice of pie into a week of excuses.

4. Don’t Let One Meal Become a Spiral

One big dinner doesn’t undo your progress. What does? Letting that meal turn into five days of “I’ll start over Monday.” Get right back to your normal routine — hydrate, move, and fuel with real food.

5. Keep Your Anchor Habits

Even when life gets chaotic, there are always a few non-negotiables that keep you grounded:

    •    Morning movement or stretching

    •    Drinking water first thing

    •    Eating protein with every meal

    •    Getting 7–9 hours of sleep

Protect those, and you’ll stay balanced through it all.
