Watch your plate this Christmas

Every year this happens... You meet your friends/family and spend half a day in the kitchen - and then stuff yourself in just under half an hour like a homeless man... after intense exercise... after a month of fasting... [add your own].

Usually we`re just living our daily lives, eating simple foods and BAM! - it`s Christmas - a shock to the system - a time when we let ourselves go, pretending we deserved it and we can spoil ourselves. Whereas in fact... did we?

As soon as we overindulge, and I mean 7 course-dinner, our bodies go:
- What the hell man?! I thought you were trying to stay fit? You even went to the gym a few times, that`s why I tried so hard digesting all the s%*t you`ve been eating. And now you`re giving me more food?? Alright then, bring on the pies!

It`s okay to have some cheat meals over the holidays, but don`t forget your goals, that is, if you have any. If you`re happy, please spread the joy to whoever needs it most, if you`re not - I wish you to find peace within you.

Have a happy Christmas and a conscious New Year,
Vidmantas.
