San Jacinto Day is April 21. I'm usually pretty good about sticking to my diet/lifestyle but when these major holidays come up it can get really tough. I mean, big family gatherings. Lots of traditional holiday food and drinks. How are you supposed to NOT go totally off the rails?

    That's the problem. No work that day and it's the day after some other minor holiday. So LOTS of drinking.

    Just think of the fallen, sonnyj. It wasn't a feast for everyone - - good, God-fearing Americans died in that battle (along with some trecherous perros).

    Maybe you would do well to have some solemn reflection instead of eating your face off every time a soldier dies.

    One day's not going to hurt. Just be good before/after, kick the workouts up a notch etc.

    So if it bothers you, celebrate without drinking or feasting. Go for a hike. Or go horseback riding, kayaking, whatever.]

    Just like one great dieting day wont make you skinny, one day of inbiding in food and drink wont make you fat.

    These holidays dont come up out of the blue. You know when they are coming so accomodate your schedule accordingly before and after.

    Maybe cut a little more out a few days before, and after, and maybe amp up the exercise for a short term. I like to get a great workout on holiday mornings to make up for it.


    and here is a "secret". If you have been strict on your intake and exercise, you can very easily enjoy the holiday and partake in the festivities...and guess what.......I bet ya eat/drink less than you did in years past on those days just because of how your body and mind will react.



    OR...if you do the intermittant fasting like myself.......holidays and parties wont hurt you one bit. SChedule the fast a day before, and after, and enjoy the big day to your hearts content
