Let Me Help YOU Make your Holidays a little "healthier" this year...We have heard the story time and time again....
You were doing sooo well on your diet until that time of the year rolled around. You were going to the gym regularly and feeling great, but now you are "too busy" and "don't have time" to eat right or exercise enough. That's a silly excuse, and it always has been. If anything, the holidays should be an excuse to stay ON TRACK. Being around our families and friends and celebrating together can be a wonderful thing. But one day shouldn't be enough to undo a routine. Our biggest trouble happens when we miss a month or two of healthy living. And THAT will cause some regression. So this year... let's stay on top of our health before, during, and after the holidays with these tips! 1. Get into your healthy routine NOW. Start the new exercise program, make healthier choices when planning your food for the week, start meal prepping.. whatever you need to change, change it now! Don't wait for after the holidays, or the new year. Carry the healthy change with you THROUGH the holidays, don't wait until after. 2. Make exercise and fitness a PRIORITY, even when you're busy. Staying on track and keeping your body in a healthy routine can make a huge difference when it comes to consuming more calories during the holiday season. Remember that when you build a solid foundation of lean muscle, your metabolism functions at a higher rate. AKA your body can better handle the excess of calories. 3. Plan healthy snacks and alternatives. If you know you will be eating out or with family one night, make sure to plan some healthy snacks for earlier in the day. Keep yourself on track before and after the splurge. One meal cannot undo all of your progress, and you don't gain fat from ONE MEAL. Just make sure you stay consistent. Plus, you can still make healthy choices even when eating out! 4. Avoid beverages HIGH in calories and sugar! This is a BIG one!! Most people drink a few beers, wine, soda, and other beverages super high in calories during the holidays... not realizing that you are DRINKING more macronutrients/calories than you are even eating every day. This is where things start to get out of control. Try swapping the beer or wine for water or seltzer water. This will save you a whole ton of calories (which you can happily EAT instead!). 5. Keep the candy/holiday snacks OUT of the HOUSE when possible. We all know it's hard when Halloween comes around and theres extra bags of candy in the house, or during Christmas when there are tons of cookies laying around. Anytime something is IN THE HOUSE, it will become a MILLION TIMES HARDER not to eat it. Make it easier on yourself and don't keep that stuff laying around the house. Bring it to your workplace, kid's school, friend/family's house, wherever you need to. Trust me, it will be easier to avoid temptation when it isn't around.
