It's too cold to exercise in the morning, and it's too dark when you get off work in the evening. Besides, you have holiday shopping to do and cards to send. By the time the New Year rolls around, you find yourself yet again with extra pounds, too-tight clothes, and your yearly resolution to get in shape. You can keep that holiday weight under control. The holidays aren't a time to lose weight.
Food is the centerpiece of most holiday celebrations.
A reasonable goal is to maintain your current weight. Save weight loss goals for January. Take time to exercise. This year, give yourself a gift of 20 minutes of exercise at least every other day. Don't worry if the exercise isn't fancy.
