The season can be tough on your waistline and your mental state if you are not careful. Here are a few tips on navigating through some "lifestyle landmines".
Remembering what your Goals are and Why you are trying to accomplish these Goals will help to keep you on track throughout the holiday season. Temptation is everywhere and "slipping up" only takes a few seconds to consume a few hundred extra calories.
Why are you eating what you are eating?
1. Decide what you are going to eat each day before you start. Have a plan for your food. No one says you cant have a snack, then dinner a while later and then dessert a while after that. Often we have "soup to nuts" meals multiple times per day.
2. Get some exercise right after you get out of bed. This will help you focus on your fitness and make you aware of how your body feels. Make mini bouts (5 mins) of exercise a priority for the day. Play with the dog, chase your kids, do squats and jumping jacks every 30 -45 minutes.
3. Drink lots of water throughout Thanksgiving day. We all know how important it is to drink water and to stay hydrated. Water will fill you and keep you from feeling hungry throughout the day. Begin by setting a Water Goal for the day. Track your intake and drink BEFORE you eat.
4. Eat a small breakfast to set up a slow eating day. Do not make the mistake of "making room" or starving yourself in preparation for the feast. You will consume substantially more food and calories that way AND feel awful.
5. Load up on the Veggie Tray. Carrots, Celery, Peppers, Broccoli, Cauliflower. If you are not hosting the festivities, find out from who is if they will have a Veggie Tray. If not, bring your own. I guarantee you that if you load on on low-calories veggies first, you will not eat as much throughout the day. Make this choice even better by bringing a low-calorie ranch dip.
6. "Cheat Well". There are foods that you are really looking forward to and there are foods that you do not really care for. Eat the ones that you really want. A fat burning review can help you establish a clear outline of what you require to focus on to accomplish your fat reduction target if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more boost phase of their weightloss program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as tips for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss programs have fooled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Ignore the ones that you don't. Often, in holiday/social situations we eat impulsively and re actively. Be sure to Stop, Think, ChOose then Proceed with your eating by making a choice that you really want.
7. Go for another walk if the weather is good. The worst thing to me is that after having a great Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner there is no energy outlet so you end up just sitting and almost falling asleep. Why not take a little walk around the neighborhood?
8. Kinect with the Wii. Have an interactive game to play. What you want to do after dinner and dessert is keep away from the regular habit of snacking even though you are full. Set up a tournament with your family to get moving! Have fun and bond together!
