Hi Reader
Welcome back to 1UP,
my weekly newsletter where I share all things health and mindsets to help you get stronger, feel younger and live longer.
Tis the season to be consistent
While most people are still working through the candy bounty of Halloween, and the aisles of stores get clothed in Christmas decor, Thanksgiving is right around the corner for our friends in the US.
I celebrated Thanksgiving a few weeks ago - since Canada loves to do the same but different - and the celebration of the harvest is in October here.
We have probably lost 3 hours of sunlight in the past month and I have definitely had to bring the warm coats out of the closet.
Here in Alberta, we know it's just a matter of days before we see the first snow.
With all of that coming up, I have decided to dedicate a few weeks to Holiday season and winter proofing on the podcast.
โ
Because I know what happens between October and January for most people...
Forget the health goals. Out goes exercise. Au revoir moderation. I deserve all the drinks. I restricted so hard with this diet, I deserve all the treats. I just want to have fun. I will just detox in January.
But here's the thing: it's easier than you think to have a good time, enjoy the food, the company and let loose, without completely writing off your health.
Imagine starting January without feeling totally gross.
Imagine having a head start on your weight at the beginning of the new year, instead of having yet another 2 pounds weighing you down.
Imagine staying consistent while having a good time during the holidays, and reap the benefits of being active all winter.
Imagine not feeling like you have to do new year resolutions to undo the damage of the holidays.
Imagine hitting 2026 slimmer, stronger, and confident in yourself because you stuck to your commitments, and found self-control without arm-wrestling with yourself for months.
I know you can get all of that, because that's what my holiday season looks like, year after year.
I am doing this winter serie 2025 on the 40s Fitness Reset podcast to help you achieve that. I'm giving all the tips, the healthy swap and the mindsets that you need for the best winter.
A winter that you don't give up on yourself. A winter that keeps the momentum. A winter that supercharges you and gives you a jumpstart in 2026.
The first episode of the Winter Proof serie is out. In it, I share 3 tips to feast without indulging.
Small tweaks can go a long way. And you can enjoy and savor a holiday feast without trashing your weight and fitness goals. Get the tweaks here:
I am super excited about this Winter Proof serie. And I hope it makes a difference for you.
I also want to let you know, so you can start thinking about it, praying about it, and asking questions, that I will be running a Black Friday Flash sale on the last week of November (Monday, November 24th to Friday, November 28th) for ๐1UP the Extra Life Solution ๐
This is for you if you're ready to get rid of belly fat and get a lean body in 12 weeks. This is for you if this year, you're not getting more 'stuffs' but investing in something that will last.
More details to come soon my friend.
Love, Jihane
