How Will Thanksgiving Change You?

There is something special about this time of year. The leaves start turning beautiful colors, the air becomes much crisper, we tend to eat stews made from a crock pot instead of burgers fired up on the grill and cuddling in front of a fire takes the place of long walks down the beach or lake. Have you figured out what the special thing about this time of year is yet? It’s CHANGE!

What is special about this time of year is that changes are happening all around us, and it’s not just the weather. Our personalities change as well. When the holidays are upon us, we begin to relax. For some people that can be a good thing, but in terms of fitness it is usually bad.

How many times have you yourself said or heard someone else say, “Wow, I really need to get in shape so I can wear my turtleneck at the Christmas party.” The reality is that you don’t. As a whole, we tend to let ourselves go during the holidays. We drink a little more, we eat a little more and miss a few too many training sessions. That is the change that we make. As a result the average American gains seven to ten pounds from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day! Is that the kind of change that you want?

This holiday season I challenge you to make a real change in your life by not changing. If you normally take a turn for the worse then I want to help you stay on the straight and narrow. If you have been thinking about starting a program to get in shape, but have been putting it off, then I want to help you get started. Send me an email with your concerns at jason@safatloss.com and let me get you going in the right direction. This holiday season make a REAL change. You can do it. You are worth it. You do deserve it. Don’t let me be the only one who believes in you!
