So it's finally here! The day, the "holiday", the ultimate sports day! I know people who put in vacation time at their jobs, so they have this ONE day in before the other sports heads do.....c'mon man it's Super Bowl Sunday!
I'll be the first to admit this is a cool day to spend time with friends and family and eat some food, but don't make it about the food and drinking. For some of us, this day comes right smack in the middle of a training goal in which we've been eating clean for weeks on end, and now the invites come to watch ATHLETES, while we eat and drink til' we pass out!! For others, this "holiday" is just another excuse to NOT start on a self-fitness program. Self-fitness because having a "fit" friend or spouse does not make you fit or healthy. Hanging out with fit people does not make you healthy or fit. Knowing a personal trainer or having friends who run, do zumba, weight train, cycle, yoga, swim, or anything active does not make you healthy. It simply is a decision to do something about your health and sticking to it......no holidays and weekends off.
It's okay to have fun and hang with friends and to EAT, but make it about the fun and eating foods that are beneficial for your body and fit within your goals. This sounds like it should be just a known fact, but it's easy to fall off the wagon thinking "Oh I'll have a small portion" or "this won't hurt to have a couple of beers." Trust me it's easy to make that mistake, then your wagon will have a broken wheel and next thing you know it's sitting in the backyard or the driveway getting rusty under the weather cover waiting until after the next "holiday" before it gets fixed. So HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!! It's game time......get "In the zone" :)
