Most people in Newark, DE don't gain weight from holiday meals and drinks.
They gain it from the 52 days they treat like holidays. Six days of real celebration won’t ruin your fitness. What kills progress is the mindless drift in between.
Between now and New Year’s, there are six actual days that revolve around food, family, and celebration. That’s it. Six.
The rest? Just normal days that feel like holidays if you let them.
The issue isn’t the pie on your plate at dinner. It’s the cookies in the breakroom every day in December. The missed training sessions. The skipped meals followed by nighttime binging. The “I’ll reset in January” talk that starts in mid-November.
Here’s the plan. It’s stupid simple:
That’s it.
No detox. No 3-week shred. No guilt.
The average American gains 1–2 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. CDC confirms it’s real. But it’s not from a couple big meals.
It’s from coasting.
“I’ll just eat whatever until the New Year.”
“It’s the holidays, I’m not worried about training.”
“I’ll start over in January.”
That mentality turns six days into sixty. And that’s where people fall off.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about not going off the rails.
If you’re near Newark, Bear, or Wilmington and want to keep training consistent through the holidays, start now.
Stay in rhythm. Stay in shape. Feel good in your clothes come January.
Don’t treat every event like a holiday. Treat your health like a priority.
