Holiday party tips
Hello, So now that Christmas is upon us, the holiday parties are the focus of spreading that cheer. And really, it is hard to pass them up. Let me give some quick tips and revelations.
The average alcohol drink will set you back from 100 to 800 calories! And that is just for one drink. HO Ho doesn’t sound so fun the next day after you gained a few pounds for a few hours of joy. And that yummy spiked eggnog comes in around 400+ calories!
Now lets add in the holiday cookies and cakes and well it goes on and on.
How does one have fun and still stay on target?
1) Between each drink of alcohol drink a glass or bottle water. This helps with keeping your more sober as well.
2) If you will be going to many parties set up a food theme strategy. For one party tell yourself that this will be your sweets events and have your sweets – hopefully within reason. Same goes for other parties. Maybe one you will indulge more with the drinks, another maybe take the healthy road and eat the veggies and dips if available.
3) While mingling stay close to the healthy foods since you will be apt to pick as you mingle.
4) And if you are dedicated and stick to the healthy food go for it. Your goals will stay true to the body you want inside and out.
5) Eat first before you start drinking. You’ll be least apt to consume those high calorie drinks.
6) Dance the night away if available. A sure way to burn calories and limit access to that food and drink.
My answers might surprise but I have learned that if you take away guilt and empower an individual during these types of events you will have a greater chance of success. In my business I have had great success with these types of strategies.
As always - I am available for personal training either in person (if in NJ) or over the web. If you feel you have stalled in your pursuit of fitness and need some expert knowledge to get you on track reach out to me.
