My Thoughts on Thanksgiving and Macros

As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, I've been seeing a LOT of blogs, IG posts, and YouTube videos on "staying on track" during the holiday season. I also know most shows are over for the year and most people are reverse dieting during this time, which is awesome! I just wanted to take a minute to write something that might surprise you, but I think it's important enough to put it out there in the universe. And that is...

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!!!

If tracking your macros on Thanksgiving makes you happy, freaking do it! If it mitigates your anxiety, go for it! There's nothing wrong with that! Also, there's nothing wrong with NOT tracking! Unless you're deep in contest prep, one day of not tracking is not going to mess you up. Just do what you want and don't let anyone make you feel bad for it. BOOM. :)

I am not saying you should go balls to the wall eating everything in sight or have a binge-fest. If you've been tracking macros for a while, though, you probably have a pretty dang good idea of how much you should eat. So if you are not tracking, just eat mindfully and you'll be fine.

This Thanksgiving, I personally will not be tracking everything, but I will try to aim to hit my protein (estimating). Other than that, I'm going to eat mindfully and enjoy. I'm also probably going to lift on Thanksgiving because it makes me happy, not because I feel like it's necessary. Anyways, I just wanted to offer my $.02 on the matter. Much love and have a happy, stress-free Thanksgiving! <3

After reading your article, one of the messages that made a big impact is this statement "Do what makes you happy". There will be times when we try to limit or deprive ourselves from the things that will make us satisfy, however, I believe that in order for us to experience satisfaction in life, we have to do the things that will make us happy. Some of you might even wonder what true happiness is and you are still trying to find it, however please know that life is indeed unpredictable and it is okay if you things are still not organized. Someday, I know we will all experience happiness in the most unexpected way and nothing will hurt us anymore.
