12 Tips To Your Fitness Success -- #7
O.K., the holiday parties are on the horizon. So your 7th fitness success tip will help you stick to your program while still having some holiday fun!
Prepare and Plan for the Holidays
No one can avoid all of the holiday parties this time of year (and who would want to)! The average person probably goes to four or five. However, if you’re not careful, those parties can derail you from your fitness and nutrition plan. And quick.
So you must prepare and plan for the parties.
If you know your office party is this coming Friday make plans to workout the day of and the day after your party. In addition to the added exercise you can also adjust your calories throughout the day. If your party is during lunchtime, plan to have a lighter dinner that night. And vice versa.
If you incorporate a cheat day within your nutrition plan have it fall on the day of the party. Also, at a party stick to the bowl of nuts. They’re better than all the cakes and sweet stuff and fill you up faster. Alternate an alcoholic drink with water or club soda. Often times having something to sip on is all that’s needed.
Sticking to these tips will help you stay 'on the wagon' and get through your holiday parties. It's easy to fall off and over indulge. But come New Year's it will only be harder to get back on track.
I had someone ask me if I still had a copy of the holiday series I did last year:
"How to Stay On Your Diet And Stay In Shape Over The Holidays...
Without Turning Into A Miserable Scrooge."
The answer is yes! Just in case anyone else would like some additional support to get through the holidays, you can download a copy here. It will make a great reference before each holiday party!
