Hey ,

 

I don't know about you, but this time of year can get pretty hectic. 

Buying presents for people, getting caught up at work so you can take

a much needed vacation, and getting ready for travel plans or having

visitors.

 

And the kicker?  Packing on a few un-needed pounds of fat chowing

down on Xmas cookies and protein Egg Nog shakes.

 

I'm not here to stress you out....Today I'm sharing with you my.....

......Top 5 simple tips to help you avoid the Holiday Bulge:

 

I'm not taking about drinking a glass of Metamucil here! No siree. When

you fill your plate grab a few extra scoops of fruits and vegetables. They

will fill you up a bit and stop you from eating too much of the good stuff.

 

We all know this one already right?  But how many of us actually do it.

I was suppossed to drink a galoon of water today and so far I'm short.

Add a few extra glasses of water per day and you won't be as hungry for

snacks.  Water is good at tricking your brain into thinking it's full.

 

What the heck is pre-eating?  I do this sometimes.  If I know I'm going

to a party and I'm not sure what they are servining or I'm not sure if I can

wait until dinner is served I'll drink a protein shake before going to the party.

This way you eat less at dinner and you know you at least got something

semi-healthy in you before you cheat.

 

At the next party you go to be sure to avoid the seat that is right next

to all the food.  You'll just be tempted to keep picking away.  If you want

food you'll have to actually get up and go get it. Much harder then just

reaching over.

 

Here's the bottom line. Unless you are totally obsessed with training your

schedule is probably going to be pretty busy this December.

 

You'll likely miss a few workouts and gain a few pounds.

 

Guess what?  It's not the end of the world. Enjoy your holiday. Spend

time with your family and friends.

 

In fact why not take a break from the heavy lifting for a few weeks to

give your joints and body a break.  It would actually be a perfect time

to start some fat burning workouts.

 

In fact, if you want you could even ditch the gym and do some home

workouts with Craig Ballantyne's Bodyweight Circuits and Interval

Training Sessions.

 

Typically I've been known to think that body weight stuff is too easy

and for old ladies or beginners.

 

But I was wrong. I've been doing some of these workouts lately and they

are very tough.  I'm sucking wind and feeling pretty good actually.

 

That's pretty cool because usually this time of year I gain 10 lbs.

 

Not this year, not for me.  What about you?
