Nothing is worse than having to hold back during a holiday party or large family gathering like Thanksgiving. So here are few tips to prep you beforehand so that you can enjoy your meal without a worry in the world. GET MOVING – Get a workout in the day before or even the morning of the big event just so that you can dig in without feeling like a lazy bum. If hitting the gym isn’t realistic, head outside with the family and throw the football around, go on a walk, chase the kids around or do some yoga. Pretty much anything that will get you moving!

KNOW WHEN TO STOP – Pile everything on your plate that your heart desires but know when to stop.

We all have been there, so why do we continue to do this to ourselves? Instead of making resolutions this year to lose 20 lbs, to give up on chocolate or wine, why not devote more time to simply try to be healthy and stay active? No one is perfect, so why hold yourself to that kind of standard? I have found that if I eat healthy 80% of the time and find a workout program that I actually enjoy, that I am a million times more successful than when I am depriving my body of the food it wants/needs and am doing boring workouts that I hate. Getting in shape isn’t easy and it takes hard work and dedication to get the results that you want but when you find a program that you want to do, you will soon be hooked.
