Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we need to gear up for the rest of the holiday season.

I splurged on Thursday, as I am sure many of you did. But what's important now is getting back on the wagon and setting some goals for the holiday season.

You can decide to try to lose weight or just maintain your weight loss and start again in earnest in January. I am going to try to keep losing weight, but I have decided in my mind that it won't be the end of the world if I just maintain my current weight.

The important thing is to keep moving. Exercise is essential to losing weight AND maintaining your current weight.

So keep an eye on your intake and get moving!
