Thanksgiving!! Realistically we will consume more than usual, however, it is
possible to still feel energized after dinner and feel good about your choices the next day. If you do overdo it, don’t give up, just start right back on your eating and exercise plan. Don’t “save” up for the big meal by skimping on meals earlier in the day. You will inevitably eat faster and more because you are hungry. Enjoy a balanced breakfast and lunch or snack beforehand. If your food choices seem endless, take a small sample of each... For example, skip the chips and dip and stick with a special once a year item instead of having both. Even though your table may look like a buffet, don’t treat it as all you can eat. Consider your options before filling your plate – load up on veggies first and take the foods your truly want to try. Try to take “one trip” only! Make sure you Enjoy your dinner and more importantly your company!! It is a great time to take the opportunitty to go for a walk or workout prior to your meal or after , its a great opportunitty to spend some quality time with some of your friends or family!! Remember What a great time it is to think of all the wonderful things that you can be grateful for!! I am so grateful for all of you wonderful people that I can share my passions with.. Have a fantastic Holiday!! Happy THanksgiving!!
