This far into the holiday season, it’s safe to say that most people are feeling the holiday rush. Amid last-minute shopping and holiday parties, eating smart and moving more can fall by the wayside.
To help you survive the holiday season with your waistline intact, remember these top tips from the Eat Smart, Move More…Maintain, don’t gain! Holiday Challenge.
• Keep track of what you eat each day to help you eat smart – that slice of pie or that extra scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy will add up before you know it.
• Remember to move more. Break activity up throughout the day – turn on some holiday music and dance, or go for a brisk walk before lunch.
• It’s all about balance. Get plenty of rest. Know that it is okay to say no to extra commitments that will stretch your holiday schedule to the max.
• Remember why you’re celebrating the season – not for the food, but for the gift of family and friends.
