Tips to Staying Healthy During the Holidays

Almost Merry Christmas! We are so thankful for you and the continued support of TransFit and our community. Let's finish 2022 stronger together in body, mind, and spirit! We have some exciting January news so stay tuned... but for now, we keep our focus on the real reason for the Holiday Season, Jesus. He is here to give us hope, joy, and true peace.  Breathe in His goodness and love as you enjoy your holidays.  

In the midst of the holiday festivities, it can be easy to fall off track, however; when you reach for that second Christmas cookie, REMEMBER your goals and know that you can stay focused and finish 2022 strong! We want to remind you of these 3 tips daily to help you stay on track this Holiday Season:
 

1. Portion Control is key. Be mindful of how much you are eating of everything. Choose a smaller plate or only eat 3/4 of what you out on your plate. 

2. Everything in moderation. Eat slowly and in moderation. Maybe skip the rolls and mashed potatoes, instead choose a sweet potato and turkey, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. Enjoy the flavors of your plate this year, chewing slowing and mindfully.  

3. Move your body as a form of worship over the holidays: Be ready to be flexible, your usual workout time may not work, so try a new time or to fit in your movement somewhere else in your schedule. You can make time to move your strong body this holiday season.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! Your hard work and commitment to whole body health and wellness will pay off! Let's keep our focus! We believe in you!

We are encourage you to set one more GOAL this year.

In addition to your nutrition and exercise goals this month-- set one NEW goal this December:

keep your focus on Jesus.

Amidst the craziness of the holiday season, you can stay focused! Breathe in the goodness of His love and grace for you. You can't control all of your circumstances, but you can believe in the God who loves you unconditionally, and you can keep your focus on Him this season! .
Take time this week to inhale in love, and exhale holiday stress.  Attempt these yoga poses to strengthen your bones and nourish your body.

Lower Back Pain?
Here are some stretches to loosen those tight muscles. Remember to breath intentionally when flowing through these poses. Low back pain can come from tightness in the top of the glutes. Think about it... your leg muscles are some of the biggest muscles on our body and when they are tight, they pull on everything else to compensate. These stretches as well as a foam roller or tennis ball on the top of the hips and glutes can work wonders for your lower back!  

Walnut-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

  • 1 pork tenderloin

  • 1 Tbsp. paprika

  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder

  • 1 Tbsp. onion powder

  • 1.5 Tbsp. mustard powder (I used regular mustard because I was out!)

  • 1 tsp. pepper

  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towel. Mix the dry ingredients together (except the walnuts) and then rub all over the tenderloin. Next, cover the pork with the chopped walnuts (save just a few of the walnuts). Lightly spray a baking pan with olive oil spray and then place the tenderloin in the center of the pan and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. All ovens vary, so just check the pork with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s done (145 degrees). Serving suggestions: serve a few slices over a bed of your favorite greens sprinkled with the remaining chopped walnuts. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette dressing & enjoy!
