The Holiday Survival Seminar was a great success. We discussed the challenges of holiday planning, time management, and maintaining fitness and healthy choices. The most common challenge for everyone is GOOD FOOD! As part of the seminar, participants received our 25 page Holiday Survival Guide. Here were the tips that will help you overcome the challenge of Good Food:
Food & Events:
- Enjoy bite size portions.
- On a day a large meal is planned, eat smaller and lighter portions for other meals. Maintain a balance in the meals and don’t skip eating to make up for the big one.
- Have healthy, high energy foods on hand for snacks (ex. hard boiled eggs, fruit, cheese, vegetables, cut meats).
- Schedule one day a week as a splurge day. Focus on healthy choices the rest of the week.
- For weeks that have multiple events, pick and choose your weaknesses selectively. For instance, Mary Jane has a fantastic sweet potato pie at the annual office party. Indulge with a slightly larger portion than the other bite size portions.
- Test new, healthier recipes two to three weeks prior to it’s debut.
The attachments included are the copy pages included in our Holiday Survival Guide. These you can use over and over again to plan for any Holiday or Travel arrangements.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
