Tips for Getting Back on Track after Christmas

The Christmas season is always fun and exciting – and spending time with family is wonderful.  I don't know about you - but I had a few extra treats that I wouldn't normally have!

Here are a few tips to help us all get BACK ON TRACK!

1.  Forgive yourself.  Don’t worry about it – and don’t beat yourself up for having a few too many treats or not exercising as much as you should have!  

2.  Drink MORE WATER!  Water helps us feel fuller, boosts our energy and keeps us regular.  Water also helps to flush out excess sodium that we’ve consumed over the last few days!

3.  Begin eating on schedule with healthy meals and snacks that are evenly spaced throughout the day to maximize metabolism regulate blood sugar and insulin levels and level out our appetite.

4.  Eat a combination of lean protein with complex carbohydrates with each meal and snack.  Healthy complex carbohydrates are vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.
5.  Eat more fruits and vegetables!  Too often, after people overindulge, they try to cut calories by eating less.  We should try to eat more fruits and veggies as these contain fiber that is good for us!  And keep eating your protein with each meal!

6.  Add exercise into you daily routine – make it part of your life and a habit that you do everyday.

7.  Recommit to your health and fitness goals.  Write your commitments down.
