Admit it. You tried your hardest to stick with your healthy eating and exercise program, but it all went to pot over Thanksgiving. More than likely, you probably consumed upwards of 3,000 calories. {relatedarticles}Instead of turning one bad day into a month-long diet detour, pick yourself up and get back on the diet bandwagon. It's not too late. Remember today is a new day. Start it off right with a good workout. Hit the gym. Go for a run or even a brisk walk through the park. Do something to get your body moving and burn off those extra calories you consumed, even if it means hitting the stores early on Black Friday. Park far away from your destination.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you are in the mall, skip the food court. And if you do need to grab a bite to eat, make sure it's on plan. Whatever you're doing, be certain it involves water and lots of it. Keep a water bottle close at hand and refill it throughout the day. {relatedarticles}Get back to journaling - write down what you eat, how much you exercise and how you're feeling. Recruit a partner in crime to help you make it through the holiday season without packing on the pounds. Sure, it's the holiday season, but what better gift to give yourself this year than the gift of good health?
