Healthy Cranberry Coconut Bread is made low calorie, grain free with coconut flour. A lightened up bread recipe!

You guys Thanksgiving is only a few days away and Christmas a few weeks! It almost seems impossible.

This time of year is always interesting to see how many people fall off the wagon right before the holidays. At my gym, I've basically had the whole place to myself. It's like my own personal training palace.

Even my spin classes haven't been as full as usual. One class I subbed for only had five people. It was really hard getting the energy up with such few participants. I kept praising those who did show up for being holiday rockstars.

Even though everyone's fallen off working out, I had a ton of new meal plan subscribers and 1:1 coaching clients sign up over the weekend. Apparently everything I've been saying on Instagram and Facebook about sticking with your habits during the holidays has been paying off. Excited to help those of you who signed up jumpstart your goals before January!

I understand it's not easy to juggle the stress of life and making time to exercise much less with the added stress of the holidays. But honestly I can never imagine my life going a week not doing something active. I took a week and a half off after surgery and that made me crazy.

For me, working out is so much more than exercise though. It's peace, serenity, mental relaxation with a boost of emotional wellness. It's like a temporary escape from reality. The world is so loud and busy these days, and I'm better dealing with all that when I workout.

It got me thinking though. What is it that drives people's willpower? What makes working out less of a priority over parties, shopping or wrapping presents? What drives me to do it every day, but not someone else?

While each person has a different why, I think the difference lies in the mentality that we always have to be perfect before we can do something. That's why so many people say to themselves "next year will be different" or "I'll be better."

If there's anything I've learned in life it's that there's no perfect timing for anything. Things happen in a complicated ugly mess and the more you put things off waiting for the perfect timing to do the things you want to do, the more they will never happen.

Whether it's exercising or healthy eating, don't wait. Just start. Start small, start now. Heck, start with this Skinny Cranberry Coconut Bread. After all, if there's anything that will inspire you to do more, be more, it's baking. Healthy baking is no exception! 

What better than a tasty, low sugar holiday inspired bread that's secretly healthy to motivate you to rock your non-perfect goals?

    I love to run. It doesn't have to be long but it clears my head. My husband is the opposite. Exercise is torture. I guess it all depends on what our "outlet" is.

      That's how I feel about working out! As for your husband, sounds like he has yet to tap into his "thing."

    I never stop working out completely, but I do have to get a bit more creative--have faith, maybe they are as well!

    I exercise all years round & my gym has actually stayed pretty consistent at my time which is a time for very dedicated peeps so I get why they are not disappearing although I wish I had it to myself! 🙂

    As for willpower... it is a mental thing that keeps people going for life & I think people have to tap into what it their thing....

    I used to be one of those people, during finals I'd stop working out for a solid two weeks almost every time. This was worse when I was on the quarter system in grad school. I spent every waking hour studying and nothing was more important. Now, nothing is more important than my daily sweat sesh. However, so many of my clients prioritize their kids schedules over there own. Hopefully they are getting a run in early in the morning or doing something to incorporate activitiy.

      Yeah, I'm the same way now. I'm actually LESS productive on my off days than the days I workout.
