So we are in the holidays, and there are parties to attend along with breakfasts, lunches, and dinners…so how do you keep from adding 5-10 pounds to your weight during this time of year? How about a few simple, and somewhat obvious suggestions:
1. Exercise first thing EVERY morning. Then it is done and there are no excuses!
2. Eat at home whenever possible. Keep with your normal plan as much as you can.
3. Eat before you go to events and holiday meals. Then you are not totally hungry and will be less likely to go crazy eating all the great foods that are at that office party…or whatever it is.
4. Don’t drink sugar drinks. Calories tend to be higher with sweet ‘foo-foo’ drinks, so stick to light beer, wine, and straight drinks…if you are going to have alcohol (not having it is the best way to stick close to your diet).
5. Drink lots of water! Stay hydrated and use water to fill you up so you don’t eat a ton and gain the same;-)
Just a few suggestions to help out! Have a great and safe holiday season…and if you do drink, get a cab!
Now go workout!
OH yea, when you are ready to get that New Year’s Resolution going…Check out the ‘Resolution Camp’ starting on the 14th of January, 2007…San Jose Adventure Boot Camp’s special 7 Week Camp for WOMEN!
