Moving Through the Holiday Season

I know it is hard to believe but the Holiday Season is fast approaching. There are only 38 days until Thanksgiving then we will be in full swing of another hectic, activity-packed holiday season.

I don’t know about you but I have already started to plan for the shopping, parties, workplace events, etc. I have also started to think about and adjust my diet accordingly.

Do you want to lose some weight before the holidays get here? It is doable, but don’t wait until next Monday...get started now by making simple adjustments. 

First, don’t eat after 7:00PM, or if you are like me and don’t get to eat dinner until then, make it a light meal, having your heavier meal at lunchtime.

Second, limit your snacks. If you feel you can’t wait until the next meal to eat something, make it a healthy snack. A piece of fruit and some protein will help you feel satisfied until your next meal.

Remember, eating 500 fewer calories a day adds up to losing one pound a week. Reducing your portion sizes along with not eating in the evening will help you reach your weight loss goals.

Keep moving! Find at least 10 minutes, three times a day to get in some activity.

A great way to burn calories at work is take the stairs.Going up and down the stairs for 10 minutes is a great cardio workout and calorie burner; it is also a quick way to get those legs in shape. 

Being proactive about eating healthy meals and getting in your workouts will help you feel amazing, and you will have the energy to keep up with all the activities that the holiday season brings.

It's never to early to prepare!
