Holiday Survival Tips! Instead of choosing THAT, try THIS!!!
1.
That.....Give up on your exercise regime over Christmas because of your busy schedule.
Try This.......Cut your workout time in half while increasing the intensity. This way you are working a little harder for a shorter period of time. If you give it your ALL you will end up burning the same amount of calories as your longer workout! For example, instead of going for a relaxed hour long run, cut your time in half and add high intensity intervals with hills or sprints.
2.
That.....Enjoy a few full glasses of wine while you are spending time with friends and family.
Try this......Fill your glass with half wine and half sparkling water. Not only will you remain hydrated, you will also cut your evening calories in half!
3.
That......Stress about having nothing healthy to choose from when eating a holiday dinner away from home.
Try This......Offer to bring a salad or vegetable dish to your gathering. This will give you an extra option when you sit down to dinner. You will now be able to fill your plate with nutrient rich vegetables and protein packed turkey. The perfect holiday dinner!!!!
4.
That.......Give up on your goals because you still want to enjoy a few extras.
Try this.......Keep your goals realistic. It is the holidays after all!!!! Have fun, enjoy, exercise and keep your goal focussed on weight maintenance instead of weight loss.
