WEEK 8 - MAKING IT THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS

REMEMBER, THIS SEASON IS NOT WORTH DESTROYING ALL THE WORK & EFFORT YOU HAVE PUT IN...DON'T SPEND THE NEXT TWO MONTHS GAINING WEIGHT AND GOING THROUGH THE SHAME AND EMOTIONAL/PHYSICAL ROLLER COASTERS AS A RESULT OF POOR DECISION MAKING. ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY BUT MAKE WISE, MODEST DECISIONS THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON TRACK AND FOCUSED SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AS YOUR ARE ENTERING THE NEW YEAR....REMEMBER, THE SEASON WILL END AND YOU WILL HARDLY REMEMBER WHAT YOU ATE BUT THE IMPACT AND RESULTS WILL BE LASTING...

A Few Tips for "On the Day" (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's)

1. Workout the morning (or some part of the day)...it helps focus your mind, remind you of your goals, motivate you and keep you on track.

2. Be the one to bring health conscious (appetizers, desserts, or dishes) to ensure that there is something there that you can eat. I find this particularly helpful with appetizers and desserts....

3. Only eat what you REALLY WANT and use portion control. Determine "what's worth it" to you and enjoy those dishes...don't get a little bit of everything and be sure to weigh the cost before making your choices....fill half your plate with veggies

4. Don't drink up your calories either...
