Thanksgiving Tips for Success:
1. Have only the things you really want. Don’t feel like you have to put everything on your plate just because its there! If you really only enjoy the turkey and the potatoes, but you have Aunt Sally’s ambrosia every year just because its there…skip it.
2. Sort your plate. Divider plates are really perfect for this. Imagine you have 3 parts to your plate…1 part protein (turkey), one part green vegetable (green beans, brussel sprouts, asparagus) one part carbohydrate (stuffing, potatoes). This will ensure that you’re not having too much of one thing!
3. If you want dessert, have one. Don’t try to avoid the dessert and then snack on cookies. If you plan to have dessert, decide what it is you must have and enjoy that one thing! Plan ahead and you won’t overdue it.
4. Wear fitted clothing on Thanksgiving! This is my number one rule for the holidays! Don’t wear your stretchy jeans and a big sweater! Wear something that fits you just right to help keep control. This really works! You may even get some compliments on that figure you’ve been working on if people can see it!
5. Burn extra calories this week and next. You may need to have some calories on reserve for thanksgiving. Get a few hard core workouts this week and next to make up for the damage.
6. Don’t skip meals on Thanksgiving! You must, must, must eat a good breakfast and lunch before you’re thanksgiving dinner. It’s just another meal and it’s not just about the food!
7. Give Thanks! Remember what thanksgiving is all about! Be grateful for your health and that of your family. Spread thanks and bring your family back to the real reason for Thanksgiving.
