TOP 5 HOLIDAY PARTY SURVIVAL TIPS

Visit my website to schedule your training today!!!


1. KEEP YOUR ROUTINE OF TRAINING
There's no reason to stop working out. Going to a party? Go for a run or get in a good workout at the gym before you head out. AND/OR plan a personal training session the morning after the party with your trainer. You'll be less likely to overindulge if you know you're going to get an ass kicking the next morning.

2. FILL UP ON VEGGIES AND LEAN PROTEIN
Take your time and look at your options.  Be smart about your choices. If that finger food looks loaded with cheese & sauce--keep looking. Some things just aren't worth it. If you're going to indulge a little, make sure it's with your favorite food. Make those calories count. Have a small amount sampling, then move on.

3. PORTION CONTROL
If you have a choice of plates, grab the smaller one and fill it with healthy choices. It sounds silly, but your brain will think you're eating more, when you're actually eating less. SNEAKY! ;)

4. BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
This doesn't mean boozing it up either!  Alcohol is a diet killer, but you can have some if you choose wisely. A good choice is a nice glass of champagne at 80 calories a glass.  Be SOCIAL--If your mouth is busy chatting, it's less likely to be in the corner overeating.  If there's dancing, get out there and burn some extra calories.

5. STAY HYDRATED WITH WATER!!
Water fills you up and fires up your metabolism. This one's a no brainer: drink water!

Enjoy the holidays. It's a beautiful time of the year. Remember; you're always in control!!  Have a wonderful celebration...See you at the gym!  :)
