Happy HEALTHY Holidays?

This past week was spent at my sister-in-law's house with her husband and my sweet nieces in Augsburg, Germany while my husband was on break from his school. It was a fantastic week filled with a trip to the zoo, an adventure at the park with the little ones, walks in the historic downtown, and lots and lots of relaxing. And not much in the way of working out or extra healthy eating. But, hey, it was vacation for goodness' sake! But that week just raced by! And brought to mind the revelation that it's November. NOVEMBER. Already? They say that time passes by quickly when you have kids...but this is ridiculous!

So, who out there is bracing themselves for the crazy, chaotic, albeit fun festivities of the holiday season? Halloween has passed us by already, along with all of the grim ghouls, creepy goblins, and lovely fairy princesses and (judging from my Facebook newsfeed) Elsas...and mountains of Halloween sweets.

Thanksgiving will be here in just a few weeks, too (can you say "Pumpkin Pie?")...and then the steady stream of Christmas parties, ugly sweaters and all...right up into the New Year when we guilt-trip over the last few months, lament over the state of our health and wow to make a fresh start for 2015. Which most of us will maintain for a few weeks, or maybe even a couple of months...and then abandon it.

So, I'm going to share an idea with you.

Why don't you get a head start on all of that?

Take the 21 Day Fix, for example: if you sign up for the Challenge Pack, join my November 10th Accountability Group and commit to three short and simple weeks, you could be down 5, 10..15 pounds by Thanksgiving Day (and ditch that ugly Christmas sweater, too!)

Think about it. And then do it. What is there to lose?
