Turkey Time

Oh the holidays are so exciting!!! If you read any magazines at all, they are all saying "DON'T Gain Weight This Season"

I say..... be prepared, be smart, be active, and enjoy yourself....

1.Prepare by making sure there will be veggies, salad, etc served with all of the other deliciousness. Balance what you eat by trying to put lots of greens on your plate first. It is okay to indulge in some goodness, knowing that most of your intake is veggies.

2. Be smart by making good choices. If you choose to eat too many carbs like bread and sweets, you will feel tired, bloated, and miserable. You will enjoy your family much more if you feel good. So, remember what you put on your plate will determine how you feel, so be smart.

3. Be active with your family and do something like taking a walk or palying a game. Get your heart rate up!

4. Enjoy yourself by thinking of food as fuel and focus on your great company instead of the pies.

Most of all don't stress, all of your hard work during the year is not going to dissipate after one day.
