I strongly suggest for you to kick up your cardio and weight training regimen BEFORE the holidays, where you see yourself piling on pounds and regretting eating that extra spoonful of mashed potatoes. Getting yourself in a routine prior to the holidays will help make you more aware of what you're eating during the event, and encourage you to keep coming back to the gym, opposed to the "oh I'll just wait til the end and then worry about it."
Analyze your diet. and your exercise. and figure out where you need to improve and start in small doses.
I will be starting a nutrition/strength training/motivational meeting at Better Bodies once a week, which will include weekly weigh ins and advice. If anyone is interested, or has any suggestions, let me know!
P.S. I also work at Gold's Gym in Springfield, so if you're looking for a trainer, I can now serve my clients in Cottage Grove AND Springfield! :)
