⁣When you are facing a decision lean back to our fundamentals: Stop, Challenge and Choose. ⁣

STOP: pause before you act.

CHALLENGE: are you making choices based on logic or emotion.

CHOOSE: what outcome do you really want?

Elena Jones shares her tips to making healthy choices during the holiday season, comment below with some of your own:

“⁣🖐🏻 Keep a water bottle in your dominant hand to avoid mindless snacking! You can drink the water instead and if your hand is busy you’re not reaching for unhealthy foods. ⁣

⁣🥗 Fuel your body every 2-3 hours with healthy small mini meals (almonds, string cheese, turkey, Fuelings). ⁣

⁣🍽 Choose a smaller (9-inch) plate and look at all your food options before piling food on the plate. Fill your plate with healthy options like turkey or, veggies. ⁣

⁣ ⁣🥧 Avoid trigger foods. If you don’t think you can have 2-3 bites without derailing then avoid completely! Sugar is highly addictive. ⁣

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Make the holiday about family and friends and NOT the food. ⁣

🏃🏻‍♀️ Get some healthy movement in. Go for a walk after dinner. ⁣”
