Jenn's Holiday Tips to avoid the Bulge

Some FABULOUS holiday tips...start thinking about this stuff now. Being prepared is always the huge key to success. Get you attack plan ready! :)

Holidays are coming up quick and you know what that means?! Food, folks and fun (Sorry McD's, I stole your line from a decade ago)!!

The average person gains anywhere from 10-15 pounds over the holidays. That is in the ball park of 35,000-52,500 excess calories over the next 3 months. So I am going to give some tricks for cheats so you don't feel deprived but can stay on track with your fitness goals.

Halloween- My second favorite celebration of the year. I LOVE scary movies and the whole atmosphere with Halloween. Lots of candy though. To say you won't have a piece or two would be pretty unrealistic. What I do is pick out 3 candies I really enjoy (Reeses PB cups, Kit Kat Bar and 1 other thing that is calling for me). Now to make sure I don't have any excess candy tempting me, the last few trick-or-treaters get the mother load and all remaining candies go bye-bye.

Thanksgiving- Candied yams and pie of every kind. The tip is to load your plate with the quality stuff first, turkey, any garden salads or veggies. Have your fill and then have some of the not so good stuff. The benefit of this is that the proteins and veggies will slow the absorption of the sugars and you'll be less likely to over indulge on the sweets because you'll be full from the proteins and fibers.

Christmas and the New Year- This is the hardest one for most people because it is a food-fest for the whole month. Be wise and prudent. Prepare your foods for the day and the work place treats won't be near as tempting. Also, as hard as it can be with work, family and friends throwing parties, make an honest effort to get some kind of workout in at least 4 days a week. I don't care if it is for only 20 minutes, you need the consistency. Too many people let the whole month slip and the extra calories with less activity is a recipe for disaster.

Here is to happy holidays to come and hopefully a New Year resolution that doesn't include weight loss!!
