Healthy Through The Holidays

So yes - its Holiday time - and I'm FULL of foods that clog - not foods that clear. What do I mean? Well - when I choose food, I like to choose as if I'm eating for the next phase of my life. Where do I want my life to take me - what do I want 2010 to look like. How do I want to see myself and how to I want to feel? And yes - I know it's the holidays, and I don't need to be such a stickler. But throwing caution to the wind when I eat, can suddenly "pile on", and I don't want any January 1st surprises!

This weekend, we're in Cincinnati, visiting family, sugar, cheese, dip, uggh. So how am I going to combat this derailment? Water, water, water, and exercise as much as possible. Today we went to the gym with my partner's parents. It was wonderful - a family that exercises together. We will head to the gym again tomorrow, visit more with family, celebrate our love and connection and not get worked up about deviating from "the plan". As a Nutrition Coach, one thing I teach is that if you are going to indulge, its so important that you give yourself permission. Reproaching yourself while you are eating those Holiday Treats does more damage than eating the treats. So enjoy! And balance with some healthy alternatives.
