How to Survive Holiday Meals

Simple:

Pick three or four events.

Eat what ever you want at those events.  Have fun.  Go wild. 

Then stop.

Just like my Thanksgiving advice.

The difference is that now we are running into a million different events.

I'm going to four different Christmas Parties.  Then there are the hangover breakfasts.  I also have big dinners coming up.  And New Years Eve.  And New Years Day. 

If I wasn't paying attention, I could have a good excuse to eat tons of crap every other day between now and 2008.

There are plenty of events.  You've got to choose your battles.

Keep your game tight 90% of the time so you can ease up 10% of the time.

Keep your workouts tight.  Keep your nutrition tight.  Keep a food log.  And then you earn the right to go crazy at a few holiday events.

You can have fun during the holidays, and still lose a few pounds of fat, lean up, and look even hotter than you did before the holidays.

And if you missed the first two times I mentioned it, it still isn't too late to register for the biggest fitness giveway in history.

Hi Josh,

Great advice there for the holidays. If everyone could just choose a couple of occasions things wouldn't get so bad

The Stubborn 7 Pounds

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Alwyn Cosgrove
    When trainers want to get better at training fat loss, they go to Alwyn Cosgrove. If you're a trainer you need to read everything Alwyn writes.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."
