Enjoy the season without losing your momentum.

The holiday season hits like a tornado — travel, parties, family gatherings, late nights, stress, and food everywhere you turn. It’s the time of year when even the most disciplined people say:

“I’ll just start again in January.”

But here’s the thing:

January doesn’t save you from November and December.

Momentum is either being built… or lost.
And the holiday season is where most people lose it.

The good news?
You don’t have to choose between enjoying your holidays and staying consistent.
You can absolutely do both — and here’s how.

❌ Forget “Perfect.”

✅ Focus on Better.

Perfection is the #1 reason people fall off.

If your normal week looks like:
• 4 workouts
• Meal prep
• Hydrated
• Tracking meals

Your holiday week might look like:
• 2 workouts
• Less structure
• More events

And that’s okay.

Consistency isn’t doing everything — it’s doing something, even when life gets busy.

👉 Aim for consistency, not perfection.

🎄 The Holiday Rule of 3 (The OBK System)

If you ONLY do these three things, you’ll stay on track:

🍗 1. Protein First

Start every meal with protein.
It keeps you full, cuts cravings, and prevents overeating.

💧 2. Water Before Anything Else

Before coffee.
Before alcohol.
Before meals.
Instant appetite control.

🚶 3. Move Daily (Even 10 Minutes Counts)

A walk.
A short OBK workout.
A mini-session in your living room.

These three habits prevent 90% of holiday weight gain — seriously.

🍰 Eat What You Love — With Intention

You don’t need to avoid:
🍰 Pie
🍽️ Thanksgiving dinner
🍗 Special meals
🥂 Holiday drinks

You just need intentionality:
• Pick 1–2 foods you truly want
• Eat slowly
• Stop at “satisfied,” not stuffed
• Walk 10 minutes after meals

You’ll enjoy everything — and still feel great tomorrow.

❗ Don’t Let One Day Turn Into 30

The problem isn’t Thanksgiving.
Or Christmas.
Or holiday parties.

The problem is the days between.

People say:
“I already messed up… I’ll fix it next year.”

Nope.
You don’t need to restart — you just need to resume.

👉 One off day doesn’t ruin progress.
Stopping for 30 days does.

📝 Have a Simple Plan (Or Borrow Ours)

People stay consistent when they have:
✔️ A plan
✔️ Accountability
✔️ A coach
✔️ A community

This is EXACTLY why OBK clients don’t gain holiday weight — they don’t go through the season alone.

We provide:
• Simple, real-world nutrition guidance
• Quick anywhere workouts
• Accountability
• Support
• Clear expectations

You don’t need more willpower.
You need a system.

🚀 If You Want January Wins… Start NOW

The people who crush January aren’t the ones who wait for it.

They’re the people who:
• Keep some structure
• Stay somewhat consistent
• Don’t quit
• Avoid all-or-nothing traps
• Stay in motion

If you maintain 70–80% consistency from now until January, you’ll start 2025 with momentum — not regret.
