TAKING ACTION: ✅ Does your family celebrate the New Year in a big way? Or are you in bed at your regular time? Let’s wrap up the week by participating in the comments below today! Coming up next: the New Year. 🎉 We’ve almost made it through the holiday season, friends; however, the New Year is a holiday that many of you celebrate—and celebrate big! Some of us our in our pajamas by 9:00 PM on NYE, but some of us like to ring in the New Year! Even if food choices aren’t as big a struggle on this particular holiday, there is another topic we need to discuss because it’s often consumed on New Year’s Eve— And that’s alcohol. 🥂 If you plan to have a few cocktails over the next few days, it’s best to plan for them ahead of time. Tracking alcohol is a little different than tracking your macros, and it’s important to know that you can’t simply rely on the label. If you need more information about how to track alcohol, check out this in-depth article below. The article also contains a few alcohol cheat sheets for your benefit! 🥂 How To Track Alcohol Macros | Lauren Fit Foodie

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Did you know the week between Christmas and New Year’s is called Twixmas? Let’s have a little fun today—does Twixmas feel disorienting to you? If so, why? We’ve officially entered the strangest week of the year—the week between Christmas and New Year’s. (Did you know this time period has been named Twixmas?) It’s the season when we don’t know what to do, what day of the week it is, and if we should clean up our nutrition now or wait until after the new year. If you know, you know…😉 The next several days are often tricky because we’ve likely been out of our regular routines lately. Our bodies, brains, and cravings might be a bit confused this week. If you’ve been eating more lately, your stomach may growl a little more than usual. If you’ve been eating more sugar lately, your brain will crave it a little more for a few days. If you haven’t been exercising lately, you may have to dig deep into your discipline bag this week. What I want you to take away from this message is this: It’s okay. It’s okay if you’re a little hungrier, your cravings are a little stronger, and you have to rely on stronger discipline this week. If you plan for these things to happen, they won’t surprise you. You’ll expect them and already have an action plan in place. 🙌 When you work through potential scenarios ahead of time, you stand a better chance of being in control 💯: ✅ If you feel hungrier than usual, it’s okay to eat a little earlier. Intermittent fasting isn’t all or nothing, and it’s perfectly acceptable to work your way back into your regular eating schedule. Challenge yourself, but don’t allow yourself to get too hungry. ✅ When a craving hits, choose protein + fiber first. It isn’t the most fun option, but if you choose protein + fiber, and wait 20 minutes, your craving will subside! ✅ When a sugar craving hits all of a sudden, your blood sugar is probably dropping, per holistic nutritionist Elissa Goodman. “To keep your blood sugar balanced, eat a healthy amount of protein and add more high-fiber foods, like beans and legumes, to your diet, along with complex carbs. This will give you the fuel you need without the blood sugar spikes.” If you’re craving chocolate specifically, you likely may be deficient in magnesium. Eat more almonds, flaxseed, edamame, quinoa, or black beans to increase your magnesium.

“That awkward time between Christmas and New Year’s, where you don’t know what day it is, who you are, or what you’re supposed to be doing…” TAKING ACTION: ✅ How are you feeling as you go into this week? Strong? Motivated? A little hesitant since it isn’t the New Year yet? Share with us below, and let’s chat about it! I just have one question—who decided to have all of these holidays back-to-back? Halloween ➡️ Thanksgiving ➡️ Christmas ➡️ New Year’s It gives a whole new meaning to, “If it isn’t one thing, it’s another”...😅 The good news is that we’re in the home stretch, friends. This is the week where we’ll wrap up the holiday season and get serious about our goals in 2026. I encouraged you to stay focused this week and stick to a few habits that will carry you into next week—because what you’re going to learn is that, psychologically speaking, next week (the beginning of the new year) is a big deal. In all honesty, after a little research, it’s a much bigger deal than it appears. We’ll discuss this more in depth next week, but contrary to what we’ve all heard, temporal landmarks in time (like the New Year, etc.) are great opportunities to focus on our health & wellness goals. With that said, what you do today directly impacts your tomorrow. Meaning, your success in the new year will greatly depend on the habits you’re creating RIGHT NOW. 💯 Let’s lean in this week, friends, and get excited about what’s to come! Let’s finish this year strong! 💪
