Avoid the red ink...


Back in the day when I worked in office management and spent a lot of time with financial statements, I learned the basics of improving gross profit.  There are two choices, and both can be done at once:  reduce expenditure or increase revenue.  In fitness, gross profit is analogous to weight loss.  We can improve our weight loss through reducing the calories we take in and/or by increasing our activity level.

In business, the best way to know how things are going is to look at the reports.  When we track our calories and our activity, we are more likely to see the results on our bottom line.


This time of year has fitness challenges.  Treats are everywhere.  Parties!  Family gatherings!  Cold weather!  Steal a business tactic:  budget.  Plan for extra activity to offset the cookie.  Plan on limiting the cookies, so that extra activity actually fits in the available time.  Let’s get through the holidays with good physical responsibility.
