12 Steps to Holiday LIfestyle Success Continued
Christmas Day is over! However, the holiday threats to our lifestyle still challenge us! The invitiations for more gatherings are eminent. A few more tips to keep you on track.
6. Set yourself up for success:
Eat before you arrive at your social event.
Bevy up with soda between or to replace alcohol drinks(use a wine glass so friends don’t hastle you to have a ‘real’ drink)
Self assess your fullness factor then remove yourself from whatever keeps finding its’ way to your mouth
Keep your menu simple opting for only one indulgences per meal
If you can’t be successful avoid the invite altogether or take someone who will help you be accountable!
7. No Nonsense Nutrition: follow the golden rules
Use a small plate
Fill your plate and belly first with salads, veggies and fruit followed by a lean protein
Avoid pre dressed salads and condiments
No fried foods… period
Appie or desert but not both
Split a meal with your mate
Drink water before and during courses
8. Be Accountable:
You are your biggest critic but not always the best at being accountable to. Find someone to help keep you on track and check in weekly with them. When you feel pressured by hosts, tell them your on “weight watchers”. We all need the support for our challenges. So ask for it and accept it.
9. Strength In Numbers:
“ Few things affect how successful you will be as much as the people with whom you surround yourself”
