Plan Your Meals Carefully---Starting This Thanksgiving Week!
Yes, I said Thanksgiving Week! The holiday spirit really starts this week---Thanksgiving week! Enjoy the family and THE FOOD! Just plan your meals and keep exercising (emphasis on exercising)....good workouts can cover alot of eating mishaps!
Anyway, there's no reason to make yourself miserable by "hating to eat" or "binge eating." Personally, I'm going to eat pretty much what I want on Turkey Day...I'm also going to workout morning and late evening....it'll be "a wash" at worst as they say.
You can come up with your own strategy but here are a few pointers to get you through Thanksgiving week:
1) Don't stop or slack off on your exercise program! And, if you aren't exercising, this would be a great time to start.
2) Try to at least maintain your pre-Thanksgiving weight during the long holiday week.
3) Go easy on the food condiments and other sauces. They are loaded with calories.
4) Stick to your normal nutrition plan as much as possible during the long Thanksgiving holiday.
5) This rule always applies to any day---if its fried, let it slide!
6) Alcohol has calories too---7 calories per gram to be exact. Don't tank it too much!
7) You don't have to eat until you are stuffed! Just eat enough to satisfy yourself.
8) Don't spend all of your time eating on Thanksgiving Day! Walk around the mall for a couple of hours, walk the pets everyday, play flag football, rake all those leaves in your yard, etc.
9) Drink lots of water and unsweetened tea. No sugary drinks! And, allow yourself one dessert (or a sample of a few) on Thanksgiving Day.
10) On Thanksgiving Day: start your day with a workout and toward the end of your day take a long walk in the park.
Be safe!
