Tuesday Training: Holiday Temptation Tips and an I Ate Too Much Pumpkin Pie Workout

 

Kelly’s Tuesday Training: Holiday Temptation Tips and an I Ate Too Much Pumpkin Pie Workout:

 Thanksgiving is coming up this week! Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, spend time with friends/family and to stuff your face with mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, stuffing and whipped cream. You might already know that you will indulge a little too much in the bad, but oh so good stuff that will leave you feeling bloated, gassy (yes, I said it!) and kind of gross. But, don’t sweat it – I got your back. This workout will blast some fat and scorch those extra calories you consumed. You can thank me later 😉

 Holidays have always been a complete cheat day for me, but I’m actually choosing to be a good girl this Thanksgiving. Don’t worry, though – I’m definitely not depriving myself by any means. I’ll be indulging in lots of grain free treats that are amazingly delicious, but won’t make me feel yucky. If you want to be good this Thanksgiving, follow my advice: ditch the rolls and the pie crusts which are just a lot of empty calories and will leave you feeling unsatisfied, bloated, and craving more food an hour or two later. Load up all you want on turkey and vegetables and go ahead and eat the inside of the pumpkin pie for a treat, but skip the crust. Sugar and carb loaded desserts are always the most tempting, so my advice if you really want to be good is to bring or bake your own “healthier” dessert. This way you can still eat something delicious and indulgent, but it won’t make you feel yucky or spike your blood sugar higher than the current unemployment rate. If want extra brownie points, bake my crowd pleasing, grain free pumpkin roll or pumpkin cheesecake cups for dessert. Those are healthy, delicious dessert options that you can feel good about eating. Go ahead and eat an extra piece, too – it’s Thanksgiving, after all!

 Either way you choose to go this Thanksgiving dinner, I got you covered. Give this I Ate Too Much Pumpkin Pie Workout a try. It’s definitely a fat blaster and calorie scorcher and is perfect for when you’ve indulged a little too much. You’re welcome 🙂

 Oh, one more thing: I’ve made this a purely body weight circuit so you can do this anywhere, even if you are traveling for the holiday – no equipment necessary. No excuses! Go!
