We all know and can agree that the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. It’s our time to celebrate our family reunions, decorate our homes according to the holiday, invite people over, go to a ton of parties and finally, eat a lot to regret it early during the new year. Because of COVID-19, we may not go to as many parties as we did in prior years, still, it is always wise to plan accordingly and stay safe.

However, don’t fret, there is always a way to do it all and be safe, smile.
Let’s just sail together through these season’s yummy temptations so that we can enjoy them and don’t feel guilty or regret them.
 
  1. If you are invited to a party that you must go, make sure that you work out a bit longer at the gym, at home or walk few more steps and most important, eat very moderately to compensate for the yummy stuff that you will eat.
  2. Never ever arrive at a party in an empty stomach. Why, because you will lose control over what you should be eating and how much of it. Simply eat a small salad or veggies before leaving home, so that you will not be starving and fail to temptations.
  3. Once at the party, assess what you will eat to feel proud once you are gone. Yes, you can eat a lot of good finger foods, etc. Just remember portion control, is it deep fried? Does it have tons of fat? Is there a mayo dip, and so on. My Slogan: Control Yourself.
  4. Don’t stand by the buffet table talking, because before you know it, you will be over eating. Therefore, stay far away from it.
  5. Also important, the drinks, the wine, sodas, etc., although tempting, they are all poor choices if you do not control how often are you refilling them. A glass of wine is fine but the more you drink, the easier is to forget your “moderation” goal. Smile.
  6. Finally, don’t feel bad to say no thanks to some of the foods or drinks offered to you. You can say it politely, or just keep that glass of wine longer in your hand before a refill or just say, oh, I am good thanks, look delicious though.

​These are my 2 cents of ideas to stay in shape during this glorious season. I am already increasing my daily walks to play it safe, just in case. Remember that we can do anything that we want and enjoy every minute of it if we do it in moderation.
Let’s get these parties and celebrations rolling, yippee.
