Prepare Yourself for the Holidays

12/15/2017

 
Picture
It’s December 1st preparations for the holidays has officially begun. And you may have kept it together all year, and now with the holiday parties and the seemingly endless amount of treats available it can feel like all your hard work will go down the drain. We know you want to celebrate with your family and friends and you don’t want to be thinking about what you’re eating all the time so we have some ideas for you to prepare yourself.
 
Keep moving your body. Even at work, set a timer to move for five minutes at least every 30 minutes. If you’re planning on watching holiday movies or going out to eat, take a walk afterwards.
 
Have a game plan. Continue tracking your​ calories, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Your body needs water to function properly, and a large glass of water before a meal can lessen the amount of food you eat.

Exercise early. With the holiday parties and fun community events you’ll be attending exercising in the morning will give you the energy for your day you’ll have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to enjoy these events.
 
Be creative. Get creative with your exercise. This time of year there are a lot of activities to enjoy, ice skating, snowshoeing, skiing and snowboarding. When the kids are home on winter break include them in these activities for family fun.
 
Avoid overindulging. Eat before heading to the party, eat before drinking, and eat your veggies first. There will be irresistible food to eat, take your time and eat slowly and savor it.
 
Shop thoughtfully. You don’t have any control over what will be served at other’s homes so stock your kitchen with healthy foods, and keep healthy snacks on hand for those emergencies that are bound to pop up.
 
Don’t deprive yourself. Strike a balance and have a plan of action. Eat clean all week and enjoy the weekend party. Cancel the regular cheat days. Eat clean at a few of the parties you attend. Eat less. Don’t deprive, you can indulge without losing traction.
 
Happy Holidays from Natatia’s One On One Fitness!
