The statistics of our platform have provided disturbing insights in recent weeks. There is much less training. Our friends report the same. They all indicate that November and December are difficult months to stay motivated. How can you motivate yourself to keep training? Or just pick up sports?
So there is a lot less training. The days are short. It is colder and often wet. When we ask how that feels, the answer is not positive. Less energy, lifeless and bloated by all the chocolate gingerbread cookies. You may recognize this. You already exercise somewhere, but it doesn't work this time either. You don't exercise at all and you don't really feel good about it. Now that the holidays are approaching, you might think:I'll start again in January. However, it will take 31 (!) days before the Christmas holidays are over. In addition, it is only 1 day of Sinterklaas and only 2 days of Christmas. So on those other 28 days you have no reason not to exercise or to stuff yourself with sugars. So you are going to make a choice.

You have two choices this month. Or you leave a healthy lifestyle for what it is and plan to start again in January. Or you take good care of yourself by (continuing) training and eating healthy 80 percent of the time. Now sit down and visualize the consequences of each choice:
So the question for you now is:What do you choose? Make that choice consciously now. Do you choose to start in January? That's totally fine. Then stand by that choice and don't weary your environment with complaining about all those moments when you sin or about how bad you feel. It is your conscious choice.
Do you choose to work on a fitter you in December? Then decide today how and when you will do that. Plan your workouts and exercise times. Think about how you want to eat and when you allow yourself to have those 20 percent unhealthy eating moments. And above all, enjoy those moments.
