Have we all started planning our holidays yet?? I know this is shaping up to be one of those years. Money is tight. Stress is rising at work and at home. We haven't even started Christmas Shopping for anybody yet. What can we do to stop from spiraling out of control?? Stop, Think and Plan!!! We all need to take the time to come up with a Game Plan for the holiday season. Just like your favorite team has a Game Plan for their season, we need to come up with a plan of attack for tackling the holidays. We need to plan alternatives to our annual holiday eating plan.
First and foremost, we need to address the annual gorge-fest we indulge ourselves with on Thanksgiving Day. Find some interesting "lite" recipes for side dishes and desserts. Add more fruits and vegetables to the Holiday menu. (Fruit & Veggie Platters make excellent gifts as well!!) Remember to add broth based soup and salad courses to help you fill up on healthy foods before your main course. Keep away from the EggNog!! (Especially Uncle Joe's famous spiked version!!) Lets actually play football outside with the kids, instead of watching football on TV all day or playing Madden 2009. Handle leftovers with care. If the BIG Event is at your house, send extra plates of food home with freinds and family. If the event is at another house keep your doggie bag to a minimum. You can't eat what you don't bring home!!
Remember these few tips and you can come up with a Game Plan of your own to battle the holidays. Let me know how things are going. TCusack@PhytnessSolutions.com
