- Don't Skip out on sleep- Though it is tempting to enjoy a couple of holiday cocktails at a social gathering to ensure you'll get some shuteye the rule is to never have two drinks in a row, opt to have water or club soda between.
- Start with a mind-body workout routine- Take a few minutes in the beginning of the day before people get around to workout. This will help you stick to your routine.
- Forgive yourself for slipping up- When it comes to emotional eating, wee need to first come to the fundamental realization that we're mess-ups. Too often in life, we expect ourselves to be more perfect than is humanly possible. So do not give up if you miss a day or two of exercise.
- Don't give in to holiday weight gain- It is a myth that we gain 7-10 pounds during the holiday. Actually only about 1 to 2 pounds are gained. A good suggestion is to eat 100 calories less per day during holidays get rid of weight you would have gained and set standard for the new year.
- Get in that exercise- Yes, it seems like it repeats tip 2, but it can not be said enough. No matter how busy you are, no matter how stressed you get, work out!
- Don't make the meal the focus of the holiday- A suggestion is to eat an early meal and then do something active. Play family football, play a game on the Wii do something that keeps you moving.
- Eat natural foods to boost immunity-Eating plenty of broccoli, which helps clean out the liver, and taking a multivitamin with omega-3 and making sure to get a daily dose of vitamin A,B,D and E.
Keep these tips in mind and go into the Holidays with the thinking that you are not going to forget all your health goals!
