Surviving Thanksgiving Tips!

Fit For the Feast!

Tomorrow is the big day, the day we give thanks for our blessings.  You don't need to master self-control overnight in order to enjoy the holiday without having to unbutton your pants.  Follow these simple tips to focus on what you are truly grateful for and avoid overeating:

1. Start the day by eating a healthy breakfast.
2.  Avoid finger foods.
3.  Skip the empty calories of wine and soda and drink water!
4. It's ok to have all your favorite foods, but take small portions.
5. Take small bites, chew slowly and enjoy conversation with good company.
6.  Offer to help clean up right after eating so you're not tempted by seconds .
7.  Send everyone home with leftovers mad limit indulging to one day.
8. Go outside and play football instead of watching it on t.v.
9. Remember it's everyday habits, not one meal, that contribute to your health and fitness.
10. No matter what be thankful for the body you have and all it allows you to do on a daily basis.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy.
