I know this time of the year can be hard for people that have just started or are continuing their fitness journey. Food tends to be a big focus during the Holidays, and this can bring up some anxiety and bad feelings around it ๐ฌ
So instead of just telling you to have fun and enjoy it ... I'm goin to direct this message to those that might be struggling with the thought of "what do I do about ๐๐จ๐จ๐" this time of the year ๐ ... because sometimes having steps and guidance might help a little bit to navigate it ๐
1๏ธโฃ Bring a healthy side dish that you will enjoy, and that will make you feel good. For example, a side of yummy veggies, a different source of protein, a healthy-ish dessert you'll be excited to eat and share with others
2๏ธโฃ Don't starve yourself all day to eat a big meal later. Have a good breakfast and a light lunch, this way you won't feel the need to overeat at dinner time
3๏ธโฃ Fill up half of your plate with veggies, add a side of carbs and moderate side of protein
4๏ธโฃ Have a slice of pie or dessert ๐ฅง ๐ฐ ... knowing you can always have more later or the next day
5๏ธโฃ Eat until your full, not stuffed, and drink water throughout the day
6๏ธโฃ Enjoy your time with those sharing this day with you. Food is part of the celebration, but not the whole celebration
7๏ธโฃ If you have time, get a good workout in that morning, or use the food you eat that night as extra fuel for your workout the next day ๐ช๐
Remember that one day of yummy food won't ruin your progress, just as one day of training won't make you fit. It's all about balance โค
