The number one habit to "go south" this time of year is health.
Suddenly there is no time to do your exercise program yet plenty of time
to eat, drink and be merry. While eating, drinking and being merry are
fun and exciting, it often reverses all of the hard work that has taken
place over the course of the year. Whether you celebrate or not this
holiday season, use my five tips below to keep all the success you have
had so far from going down the drain.
- Make a Plan. Planning is the number one secret to staying on your fitness plan, not gaining weight and not having to start over come January. Plan your workouts. Put your workouts in your calendar. Even though you have a standing class or training session, when you see it in your calendar you will be more likely to keep them. Plan your eating. If you have ever have said "I shouldn't have eaten all of that" you know it has the potential to happen again. So before you hit any party (or sweet tray), plan to do it differently and it will be different.
- Write down and share with a trusted friend (or even your fitness instructor) what your plan or goal is for the holiday season. Whether it's deciding to eat festive foods in moderation or not at all, or cutting your exercise routine down by half instead of discarding it entirely, when you commit to something and share it with others, you are more likely to follow through.
- Know your serving sizes. You know what you like to eat-and therefore might overindulge upon. Instead, plan to eat a healthy serving size. When at a party or even at home, before you fill your snack, dinner and dessert plates, look at the choices first and then choose wisely. Use http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-portion-size-plate to look up what a healthy serving size is if you are not sure. Being aware of what and how much you eat is key to staying on target.
- Drink non-alcoholic beverages. When you overindulge in alcohol, all bets are off as you almost always will eat more. Drink a healthy non-alcoholic beverage while you enjoy your favorite food. If you wish for an alcoholic beverage, have it after you have eaten and drink it slowly and mindfully. This keeps your mind aware of your actions and easier for you to 'be good'.
- Prepare ahead of time. Before heading out to a function, party or even the grocery store, have a small healthy meal first. This can make sure that you are not starving when you arrive and therefore you will not dive into the bowl of chips, eat a tray of cookies or buy junk food.
