The Leftover Problem Nobody Talks About

Three days of rich food. Multiple plates. Desserts you only see once a year.

Everyone tells you to enjoy it. Live a little. It’s the holidays.

Then January hits and you’re ten pounds heavier, joints aching, energy gone. And suddenly those same people are selling you gym memberships and detox shakes.

Here’s what they won’t tell you: Your body doesn’t need a reset in January. It needs balance in December.

I’m not saying skip the pie. I’m saying move before the meal. Walk after dinner. Do twenty minutes of stretching before you crash on the couch. Eat small portions.

The damage isn’t totally the food. It’s the complete shutdown of movement for three straight days.

You can enjoy the season without sabotaging the next three months.

The people who feel great in January? They didn’t stop moving in December.

Are you planning for pleasure or planning for regret?

Move well, stay healthy, be happy!
