We are officially in the holiday season. What are your plans for staying healthy? Parties, dinners, desserts and crazy schedules take us out of our routines and leave us open to ill health and weight gain. We need to make sure to plan our weeks and eat, move, think and rest well when we can, knowing that there will be plenty of opportunity to NOT make the proper choice. Planning can keep us healthier, and help us keep the "Holiday 5" off!
Remember, people don't plan to fail. Rather, they fail to plan! Make your plans now for a healthy holiday season. Accept that there will be more parties with unhealthy choices. Before you go to the party, eat some fruit and nuts to get your stomach partially full. Then you can still enjoy some tasty treats without going overboard. Make sure to plan for rest when you can too. Sometimes our schedules get so hectic, we don't rest like we should. Schedule some down time for physical and mental restoration. And don't forget to keep up your exercise schedule. Not only will it keep some pounds away, but will help you de-stress from the hustle and bustle!
Until next time, BE WELL!
Dr. B
