Just wanted to give you a few tips on how to prevent the oh so familiar holiday weight gain most people deal with around this time of the year. So here are your 4 good tips:
1. Eat something light before you go to a party so you will not be starving when you arrive. If you are starving, you will eat about 1000 calories or more in little finger foods. Yes, those little bits of food are usually STACKED with fat and calories! Be careful!
2. Do not drink your calories! Alcoholic beverages have tons of calories and the more you drink, the more you stack on the empty calories. I am not saying you can not drink at all...just have 1 or 2 and call it a day. Also, remember, when you are tipsy, your inhibitions are down and you tend to eat more without feeling guilty about it.
3. Workout throughout the holiday season. This is not the time to CHILL and relax. Move your body and either continue your usual routine or start an exercise routine. Don't wait until January like most folks!! Get into NOW!!
4. Weigh yourself every Sunday when you wake up. Go to the bathroom then get naked on the scale (do not weigh yourself daily....this can be discouraging since your body weight can fluctuate due to water weight, high carb intake meals, etc). Keep that number in your head. Do you want to lose a few or at least maintain through the holiday? Be aware of that number so you will keep yourself in check.
Thats all folks...let me know if I can help you in any way.
