Setting New Goals for the Holiday Season Ahead

Your goal is to weigh the same after the holidays as you do now OR if you're in need of dropping some unwanted pounds, then aim to weigh less - whether you're on an official diet, or not.

Remember - your goal is to weigh less OR the same as you weigh right NOW after the holidays end. You do not want to put on more excess pounds that you'll have to lose after the holidays end.

Getting Active, Getting Your Mind Re-Centered On What's Important to You

- Take a walk each and every day particularly during the holidays OR do an activity that is fun. Even shopping burns calories.
