Happy Friday!
Ok, so like most people around this time of year we start thinking of holiday parties and gifts and family. It is a great time of year to reconnect with family and friends and....yourself.
I know that working out and sticking to a diet during the holidays is next to impossible! well....unless you are uber committed or you're a scroodge when it comes to the holidays. EVERYONE likes to eat and drink and party down. For me, Im NO different. However, because of my job I kinda have to stay somewhat in shape...haha.
So, A lot of people are asking "what is the best to eat when I am at one of these holiday ho down's" Its not really a secret but it isn't often a rule people stick to. We all know the big headliner of any Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner is a protein like a turkey or ham. Those are good to eat (especially if you want to take a nap afterward) but what about all the opening acts? The stuffing, the potatoes, the casseroles, the croissants, yams, beans, jello molds....the list goes on and on....
Im not gonna be the holiday food police but I am gonna say, THE SIZE OF YOUR FIST.....yep, just the size of your fist is all you need. Be aware that we overindulge because we are chatting and drinking and snacking so we lose track of how much we are actually ingesting. Make a plan before you go. Snack on the veggies, and when it comes to the sitdown scoop small amounts of all the fixins' (the size of your fist and a little protein) enjoy! You can enjoy the holidays but you don't have to go overboard. Im all about having a day to just let loose, but you don't have to stuff yourself until you have to change into stretch denim...or sweat pants.
To get a head start I am holding a bootcamp for charity to raise awareness for lymphoma cancer. The bootcamp will be held on Nov. 19th at 9am at the Norman P. Murray Center 200 Civic Center Mission Viejo 92692.
Its a good workout! All you need is water and $10, which will be donated to the Veterinary Cancer Group. They took care of my best workout buddy Noah who passed away on Aug 8th of Lymphoma. Its a great cause and it will help support both humans and animals who suffer from cancer related diseases.
