The holiday season is in full swing and that means that normally exceptional folks you like and I are doing our best to become average – one calorie a time. 

It seems the holiday season is longer and longer every year.  No, the calendar doesn’t change, the advertisers do.  It’s simple. 

The sooner the folks on Madison Avenue can get you in the holiday spirit and the longer they can keep you there – the more you’ll let your guard down - let the spending and eating begin. 

Years ago, the average American gained 8 pounds during the season – today, some estimate our average gain to be almost 15.  Let me ask you a question?  If you haven’t been able to lose weight all year, how are you going to get rid of the extra your gaining right now? 

It’s easy to give up and become average until January but it will make things harder later.  So don’t let your guard down – keep watching what you eat and exercise right through the season. You’ll really appreciate giving yourself that gift in January. 

Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now… so you can do more later.
