1. Move your ass...as in exercise. I often times fall into the holiday rut of over indulgence and under movement. (Actually this is true for most of the time not just holidays...ha)Even if you put a pair of long johns on and walk outside for 20 minutes after a big meal. Every little bit helps. Keep active and burn some of these excess calories.
2. Keep to your regular eating routine. Do not starve yourself all day before going to a holiday party. Eating when you are over hungry leads to only over eating.
3. Going out? Have a healthy snack before you do. This goes inline with #2. It is tough when you show up hungry. Eat a handful of almonds or even some carrot sticks. Anything to curb the hunger edge.
4. Bring something healthy. Do not be at the affect of whats offered. This does two things: 1 ensures that there is at least one "healthy" item for you and 2 it exposes others to your healthy eating and may cause some interest.
5. Balance, balance, balance...If you eat too much one evening, take it easy the next morning. One blown meal is not the end of the world, but you should look to balance it out. Eat a lighter (less starch and fat) breakfast and lunch.
