Bad idea, Chicks!! This could lead to starting off 2010 up to ten pounds heavier than you are now!!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d never tell you not to indulge this time of year, since i definitely love to enjoy my share of choccies and baking, <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/calendar-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"calendar\" title=\"calendar\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-444\" \/>and more than a few glasses of vino! The best way to deal with the holidays is to have a plan. Get out your calendars, Chicks! Not to mark down all of your holiday parties, but to schedule in all of your workouts. This is a hectic time of year, and if you don&#8217;t make a concious effort to take care of yourself, you will probably forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t already enrolled in GI Jane Bootcamp, pencil in at least 4 workouts a week on your calendar. If you took our bootcamp in the past, you&#8217;ll have plenty of at home workouts to choose from, or take a class at the gym, go for a walk or run, go skiing, skating&#8230;.anything to get you active and get your heart pumping.<\/p>\n<p>Staying active is one of the best ways of dealing with holiday weight gain and stress, so schedule in those workouts, Chicks, and stick to them!<\/p>\n<p>Have a FABULOUS weekend!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Fit Chick said to me&#8230;.PLAN FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!
