Holiday Strategies & Bodyweight Workout

Holiday Strategies (always try and get a good quick workout in early on these special days)

Parties-
1) Eat regularly throughout the day and eat a good protein BEFORE you go. Don't go there hungry.
2) Don't "save" your appetite by thinking you'll just eat all you can later. You'll over eat for sure
3) Walk in, greet people, have some water First.
4) Check out buffet, take a few samples, and be done.
5) If you don't really like it, don't finish it
6) Limit alcohol to 1-2 cocktails, aka LOTS of useless calories (you'll feel so much better the next morning :)

Dinners
1) Again, eat regularly throughout the day!
2) Eat some protein before you go. I know your thinking why would i spoil my meal, truth is, you won't. You'll have smaller servings of everything you like, without being a glutton.
3) If your out to dinner, split your favorite dish with someone or eat half and take the rest home
4) If you don't love it, DON'T finish it. (except your veggies of course :)
5) If your going to someones home, offer to bring a dish, and make it a tasty nutritious one.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are 2 days out of the year. Don't make it an eating frenzy for the next 6 weeks, thinking you'll start January 1st, you'll only feel guilty and probably heavier than when you started.
