As the first weekend of December is upon us, keep in mind it’s important to prepare for the holiday parties and festivities beforehand.
A few tips to keep your waistline trim this holiday season.
- Have a snack before the event. Be sure to have something with protein to help keep you full and satisfied. You don’t want to be munching too much on all of the appetizers. (A sampling is wonderful, but there’s nothing worse than starving while at an event) Try a handful of nuts, an apple with peanut butter, hummus and vegetables, or even a small protein shake.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure you’re hydrated for your event. This will help to prevent you from drinking too much too fast if you plan on having a few cocktails at the event.
- Can you squeeze in an afternoon nap? This time of year we are go,go,go! To keep our body in balance, it’s so important to make sure we are getting 7-8 hours of sleep. We can use the weekends to play catch up, but with holiday shopping, cooking and spending time with loved ones, sleep can be the first thing to be eliminated- Try to make an effort to get your sleep!
- Depending on the time of the event that you’re attending, it might be helpful to get moving before to get your blood circulating and help to get you ready to go!
- Know ahead of time what you are wearing, so you’re not running out to the store at the last minute to grab it. This will be a huge stress reliever!
Most of all, take time to enjoy the holidays… After all, they only come around once a year.
