4 – Put your home game plan together. Just because it’srepparttar holidays doesn’t mean you have to eat as if you’re at a partyrepparttar 114551 entire season! In fact, because you will be socializing more at this time, this is even a better reason to eat as well as possible when home. ·Always plan ahead when going to a party or event that evening. This could include eating fewer calories throughoutrepparttar 114552 day or cutting down onrepparttar 114553 fat. ·Avoid making desserts just forrepparttar 114554 family. There will be plenty to sample at events. ·Choose extra fruits and vegetables. This would be a perfect time to strive for 5 per day. Make a pact to eat healthier at home during this period than ‘usual’. It may even rub off to create habits that last pastrepparttar 114555 holidays! ·If you receive a lot of candy, cookies or alcohol as gifts, give them to others as gifts, or bring them to work to share with others.

5 – Determine your exercise plan of action. Many people strive all year to get a regular exercise program going, only to let it slide overrepparttar 114556 holidays. Then, once New Year comes, they again struggle to re-start a regular program. The best way to avoid this from happening year after year is to plan ahead for such things. ·Hire a personal trainer. Whether you find someone to come to your home or meet him/her atrepparttar 114557 gym, this could help keep you on track duringrepparttar 114558 holiday season. Just that motivation alone might keep you going! ·If you have a stationary bike, elliptical trainer or treadmill at home, put it in front ofrepparttar 114559 TV so you can watch eitherrepparttar 114560 news or your favorite show. Another option is to get a book on tape or audio files of seminars to listen to while working out. Because life is so busy during this time, you will be able to accomplish two things at once; exercise and enjoy some entertainment. ·While doing chores at home, put some music on and build up a sweat dancing.
