How to Stay on Track Through the Holidays. This episode is all about 5 simple tips to help you stay on track through the holidays, managing the family time with your goals and progress still intact.
We like to follow the 80/20 rule. You don't have to deprive yourself to find success. Changing your mindset from I can’t, to I can have that today, helps balance our mental and emotional health when it comes to holidays and our food choices. It's not ok all the time, but it's ok for today.
Hydrate. Nothing will make you regret your life like over indulging AND being dehydrated! Drinking water throughout the day, not only helps us stay hydrated and keeps our digestion on track, but it also goes a long way in helping with our satiety and controlling our cravings.
MOVE & do it early. Remember your goals and why you set them to begine with. When it comes to movement, plan your workouts and get them in before the chaos sets in you're left without the time or energy to do it later. Working out makes us feel better, and it helps show those around us that we're serious about our goals and our health. Someone is always watching and you never know who you are inspiring. So don't skip the workouts.
Take healthy snacks to share. You SHOULD be able to enjoy whatever you like but some of us just prefer healthier food. When you can't control what everyone else is bringing, remember that you can control your choices and your portion sizes.
When we eat off track, don't stay there. The next meal is the next chance to get back on track and prioritize your food choices. Throwing away the day because of a single meal or choice doesn't make much sense does it? So don't wait to get back to what you know and what works for you. Get back to your water, back to your food choices, back to exercise...back to all those habits you've worked so hard for. They aren't all for not just because you make the choice to enjoy the holidays and all the foods that come along with it.
