Keep up with your
workouts! This is the perfect time to
hire a personal trainer who will keep you on track and make the most of your
workouts.
·
Instead of
dreading a trip to the mall, celebrate, you’ll be moving and burning calories!
·
Park further away
when going to the grocery store or mall!
You’ll save time by not circling the parking lot several times to find a
spot close to the store.
· Plan ahead. If you know your aunt is making your favorite
dessert, skip the mashed potatoes and gravy and enjoy every bite of dessert!
·
Manage portion
sizes. The first bite is usually the
best - take small servings and don’t go back for seconds.
· Avoid or limit
alcohol. Alcohol contains empty calories
and often increases your appetite.
· Eat a healthy
snack before arriving to a party so you can avoid the usually high calorie hors
d’oeuvres table.
· Remember you’ve
chosen healthier lifestyle habits to positively influence how you feel for the
rest of your life!
You may not be able to
control everything during the holidays, but you can choose to exercise and eat
healthy! Use the tips above to help you
make mindful choices throughout the season.
If you end up indulging more than you intended, don’t panic, get back on
track with your healthy habits and you’ll be glad you did once New Year’s
arrives!
