Hi everyone!
I hope your holiday season has been good so far, and I look forward to connecting with you over this hump. If you are celebrating this year, you know it can be a challenging time to stay on track.
Heading to a party this weekend? Here are a few tips to help you through:
Eat before the event if you know it will feature rich, tempting food. Enjoy a filling salad with lots of protein, or fix your favorite nutrient-dense meal. Eat to satisfaction, but don't overfill. You want to be able to enjoy a few things at the party but not go in empty to avoid overdoing it.
Incorporate movement into your event. If you're having a holiday party in a location where taking an evening stroll makes sense, do so. It's not to immediately work off your calories or punishment. Look at it as a way to snap right back into your best habits and enjoy the company of others in a fun way -- walks create the opportunity for more personal conversations or to enjoy fun sights -- such as holiday lights or decor. It will also help with staying energized for the days ahead!
Get your rest. I will repeat this 5,000 times. But it's so important. If you run down your batteries, you're more prone to overeat and your body will be less efficient at managing your appetite and using your fuel. Bonus points -- you will also feel better with more rest.
