What are your fitness goals? The first thing you need to figure out is, are your trying to lose weight, put on muscle, or are you just trying to increase your cardiovasicular conditioning. Setting goals motivates the mind and body to get the results you that you desire. When setting your goals be realistic, choose a body fat you want to lose, how many inches you want to take off your waist, or how many calories do you want to burn during your workout. Finally, choose a target date that will motivate you to reach your goals, the Memorial Day, your Birthday, etc..

Are you keeping records? It is very common for someone to know exactly what excersises they perform, how many reps they do, how far they run, how many calories they burn on the treadmill. Can you answer similar questions when it comes to the way you eat? Keeping track of what you eat, knowing the calories, the protien, the sugar content, and ingredients, these things are equally important if not more so than your exercise routine. Don't work against yourself, remember to alway eat healthy. Then you can enjoy the holidays and occasional deserts.
