Healthy Holidays!!
The holidays are upon us...in the next few weeks you may be invited to holiday parties, gathering with family as you pass the pumpkin pie, or maybe you just cant help yourself when you pass by the cookie tray at work. With all the fantastic festivities that come along with the holiday season...it can also be disastrous to your healthy eating efforts. Here are some tips to keep you on track but still allow you to enjoy...happy, healthy holidays!!
-Stay out of your kids Halloween candy! There is nothing there that you need, I'm telling you...not even one of those bite sized candies is worth it! It usually leads to "just one more..."
-Research and experiment with your favorite holiday foods! There are so many ways to tweak recipes to make a healthier version of all your favorites! Pick up a healthy holiday cook book to make it easy
-Stay consistent with your workouts! Don't let yourself get into the cycle of eating junk, then not feeling great, then not having energy to workout, then you eat junk because you don't feel good....and so on, and so on... Encourage each other and stay motivated!
-If you know you are going to a holiday party, don't starve yourself all day to "save calories" for your party later. You will be super hungry and may end up overeating and not making smart choices. Eat regularly through out the day; lots of fresh fruits and veggies and lean protein to help keep you full. Then be smart about what you take in at the party! Enjoy your favorite foods by having a few bites of each and then moving on. As always-drink water!
