Motivate Yourself - Sign up for a Turkey Trot!

It's already November, which means the holiday season of eating is right around the corner.  Don't let all the hard work you've put in at the gym go to waste.  Eating healthy at parties can be difficult with all the appetizers, desserts, etc., but you can still make healthy decisions.  Maybe eat a healthy snack/meal before so you're less hungry and limit yourself to ONE piece of dessert.

If you need some extra motivation during the holidays, sign up for a Turkey Trot.  No matter what part of the country you're from there's likely to be a Thanksgiving race going on.  Not only will it give you extra motivation for training, but what better way to start of Thanksgiving Day than with a nice 5k or 10k - then you won't feel so bad about eating all the stuffing!
