So, You’ve Fallen Off the Diet Horse…

It happens… the Holidays arrive and you eat every single thing in sight. Well, maybe not every single thing, but if you’re like me, I’ve felt like it.

I heard this morning the average Thanksgiving meal is about 2000 calories.  I dunno if that’s true or not, but that’s about the average daily caloric intake we are supposed to have.  Only 2000 calories a day.  Add the leftovers and other goods you eat through the day and you might be pushing close to, if not past, 4000 calories.  Keep in mind to burn a pound of fat, you need to burn off 3500 calories.  Burning that many calories is a LOT of work.

Okay, so you’ve fallen off the diet horse, or in some cases, been bucked off and landed hard.  Get back on.  Forget the fact you scarfed down an extra slice of pumpkin pie.  It’s done, you can’t undo it. Move on.

I’m suggesting you get a hold on this now and gain some willpower soon.  Why?  Well, because effective now, we are moving into the Holiday Season.  Halloween is here in three weeks and then it’s Christmas time in full swing.

Get a handle on it now and you will be fine.  Or figure out how to burn about 3500 extra calories a day.
