My Trick for Healthy Holidays Without Weight Gain or Deprivation
In my efforts toward healthy holidays this year and in preventing weight gain, I’ve come across a strategy called the 50% rule. At first, I admit that I rolled my eyes when I saw the name of it. Any programs with numbers in them typically sound extreme and unrealistic to me. But, at the risk of sounding cliché, this one is different.

Holly and I have already decided to switch our weight goal from loss to maintenance until the new year.

As fun as that second option could potentially be, with the way the world has been for the last year and a half, I’d really rather a more normal mealtime experience.
The Connection Between Estrogen and Exercise
It’s not even slightly shocking to me to hear that hormones play a role in physical activity and that estrogen and exercise are linked. As a woman, the link between various hormones and our lifestyles can often be more than obvious. They influence every part of the way our bodies function.
