Thanksgiving Tips & Tricks - How to Enjoy the Day and Stay On Track

In today’s episode of the Inspire Fitness Podcast, we’re talking all things Thanksgiving- a holiday that’s centered around food, family, and tradition… but doesn’t have to derail your goals.

I’m walking you through simple, realistic strategies I teach my clients every single year so you can enjoy your favorite foods without slipping into the all-or-nothing mentality (you know… the one that says “Welp, I’ll start over Monday!”).

Here’s what we dive into:

Start the day with intention - why your mindset in the morning shapes the whole day
Plan ahead - a few small decisions that make everything easier
Prioritize protein & veggies - how to stay satisfied without feeling stuffed
Be mindful while eating - truly enjoy your meal instead of rushing through it
Be choosy with treats - pick what’s worth it, skip what’s not
Set limits on alcohol - staying present instead of derailing progress
Stay hydrated - the underrated secret to better choices
Get moving - not to burn calories, but to feel good
Avoid the all-or-nothing mentality — the #1 reason women spiral on holidays

This episode is all about presence over perfection, and helping you walk into Thanksgiving feeling confident, intentional, and fully in control.

✨ Today’s Reminder: You can enjoy a holiday meal and stay aligned with your goals. It’s not either/or.
