How to avoid holiday weight gain – 5 tips to keep you on track if you want to be
Sometimes Thanksgiving and Christmas are a little too close for me. Especially with New Years Eve being right after. I walk into Thanksgiving, party through my birthday (Christmas season baby in the house!), enjoy Christmas, and then roll my stuffed behind out of New Years Eve.
