This is a tough one
We all want to make progress
Feel better and know we are going in the correct direction
But as we near the party season
That isn’t always realistic
(Unless you intend to not change too much)
More food
More drink
More social stuff on
AND that’s good
That’s what we want to feel good FOR at the end of the day
So, we can enjoy what we enjoy
But in terms of maintaining and making sure we don’t do too much damage
A great way of approaching days/weeks during this period
Is knowing your Upper/Lower Limits
What does a ‘good’ day look like?
What is my bare minimum I know I can get in worst case almost?
I made a video which goes through this more in depth here
My advice?
Be proactive
Do things when you CAN do them and feel up to it – long walks, workouts, better days food wise and no booze if you don’t REALLY need it
Do what you can do
Enjoy the time
And just DON’T STOP and do nothing
You may tell yourself you will pick it up again as soon as it hits 2023
But….
1) It will be way harder; you’re giving yourself more work than you need to, and you will feel better for it
2) You probably won’t be able to pick it up again in 2023
…and that may sound harsh
But I have been doing this over 10 years now and it’s not easy to stop/start
And we will look for the kids to get back to school first
Then wait until February
Then after half term
…Easter
The list goes on
The best time to do something is now and keep things moving
EVEN IF you’re only getting 1% better every day
It’s still better
The key word is MOMENTUM and NOT breaking the chain
Let me know if you have any questions

PS
DM Elite WILL be open between Xmas-New Year
We won’t stop here just because everything else does.
And if you want to begin working with us now, rather than waiting
