For a lot of us the main activity during the winter holidays is choosing which kind of fattening food to buy, then the exercise comes when we lift it up into our mouths! If you are in an area where the weather tends to get bad in the winter months, all to often we lock ourselves inside. Make plans to stay active. Join a fitness center, plan some home exercise routines, or get our in the snow if you have a chance. The winter months are often the worst for gaining that extra few pounds. As you get older the pounds come off tougher, and unfortunately stop coming off for a lot of us. Be proactive, don't get in the habit of sitting around just because the weather turns bad!
