It's that time of year again where we are truly getting into the spirit of Christmas! The festive season has begun and eating becomes a lot more relaxed and the celebratory drinks start to flow! Don't worry this article is not about making you feel guilty about enjoying yourself over this period but here are a few tips to keep in mind over Christmas to stay on track and give yourself a head start for an amazing 2011!
- Be active:
This doesn't mean that you have to train everyday but be aware of catching up with friends in an active way, such as meeting for a game of cricket in the park or going for a walk around the lake OR try our 20min maintenance work out to stay in shape over the Christmas period!
- Be aware:
If you drink alcohol, try to stick to lower calorie drinks such as vodka lime & soda as opposed to full sugar drinks mixed with darker spirits.
- Be conscious:
Of how much food you are consuming and try to loosely follow a healthy diet. When eating out ask for sauce on the side, pay attention to how food is cooked, stick to baked or grilled rather than deep fried, try to minimize unwanted carbs at night when you are least active and share a dessert with a friend.
- Be realistic:
Don't over commit to unrealistic goals and set yourself up for disappointment. Let's be realistic, you are on holidays and chances are you are not going to be as strict as you think you are so set goals that are realistic.
- Be mindful:
To get plenty of rest. How many people say that they need a holiday after their holiday?? Make sure you get plenty of sleep so your body is recharged for the new year!

Jill Elderton has been part of our first couch potato challenge. She has transformed her couch potato lifestyle by following a strict healthy eating plan and personal training five times a week with our Eccentric personal trainers! In just four short weeks Jill has lost 7cm off her waist and over 10% of her skin fold average.
'Both trainers are very patient with me and when I say I cant do it- they tell me I can and stay with me until I do and I feel so proud of myself that I did it and so grateful that someone helped me through it.' Jill Elderton.
