Hi to all health freaks, vegans, dieters, carb fanatics, protein watchers, exercise gurus, calorie counters, and to those who just want to get healthy and feel better. What's up?
Here's what's up. It's that time of the year when trying to stay healthy is hard to do. The holidays are very difficult times to keep on track. I mean, can you really resist pumpkin pie with whip cream or ice cream? How about a second helping of all that tremendous food? Believe me it is hard, no it's rude, to not enjoy all the wonderful home cooked foods when at a party or somebody's house. I know I can't resist some of those great homemade desserts that everyone brings out this time of the year.
So what is a person to do? I suggest live by the 80-20 rule. This rule states that you should be diligent about your healthy lifestyle 80% of the time and 20% of the time it is ok to have a little "fall of the wagon" time. Just remember to get right back on the wagon and maybe step it up a notch or two to compensate for the over indulgence you just experienced.
Stress also rises this time of the year. Take deep breathes, relax, and remember—come January they'll probably take back that gift you bought anyway. It's the thought, not the gift that counts. That's what everyone says. So stay calm and enjoy the holidays.
At the Margarita and Advocato festival I had the opportunity to meet some of Morro Bay's finest—some of our police officers. What a nice group of men. Then one night I met some of our firemen on a false alarm call to a fire at a friend's house.
Don't forget to honor our veterans. I am very thankful for their courage to go out and fight for our freedom. To recognize them I will always treat veterans for FREE. Thank you for your bravery and service to our country.
