Buff on a Budget: Slugging It Out Through the Holiday Season

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

November 30, 2010 By Cherie Lowe

Are you a little bit like me?  Do you eat healthfully 10 or 11 months out of the year and then chuck it all out the window during the holidays?  Do you find it harder to exercise in the winter months?  Do you just want to curl up with a blankie and drink hot cocoa with lots and lots of marshmallows?  Or is that just me?

Many times, I follow a Winnie the Pooh philosophy of fitness.  Exercise to eat more honey.  It honestly has its merits but I find if I eat too many sweets and indulgent treats I don’t want to exercise at all.  So I was super excited to see Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen’s tips to keep those holiday pounds at bay this December.  Here’s Part 1 of the segment!

Be sure to watch Part 2 while you’re on the Dr. Oz site, too for more great tips.  I usually abide by several of these principles but it was good to hear them all again.  I also make more intentional time to exercise.  I meet with friends to run or walk, I make myself get on the eliptical in our laundry (which someone gave us last year for free WOOT), I lift weights, I do something every day to move.  It helps not only with holiday pounds but with holiday stress, too.
What do you do to stay Buff on a Budget during the holiday season?  What traps are easiest for you to fall into during November and December?
