Thanksgiving is done and we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of the holidays! We of course start with hitting multiple houses on Thanksgiving....so much food! I know most of us have heard various tips over the years to stay healthy over the holidays and not get too out of control. Today is a refresher on some of my favorite tips.
1) Relax! The holidays are meant to be enjoyed, just do so in moderation. I know too many people that chew on their fingernails for the first couple of weeks then lose all control the next few weeks.
2) Don't skip meals. This is one that is repeated often, yet often forgotten. If you walk into that dinner party starving you will leave that dinner party asking yourself what happened.
3) Pay attention to what you are eating. Appetizers and all those yummy little bites add up.
4) It is a fun time to pop the cork on an extra bottle with the family. Keep the drinks in moderation and keep downing the water.
5) Hit the gym early. I have said before and I will say it again, morning workouts are ideal for those crazy schedules.
6) You still need your sleep. You can't burn the candle at both ends for the next 6 weeks. Everything will fall apart.
7) And for your mental health...take Facebook and Instagram with a grain of salt. The rest of the world is not having the picture perfect holidays they are presenting.
