Tips for surviving Thanksgiving without guilt!


It's that time again-the biggest, most anticipated meal of the year. And you're trying to stay on track and not overdo it. You can do it! It's just one day and before you know it, you're going to be stuffed-just hopefully a bit less than the turkey! 

So here are my tips for surviving the day and feeling okay. 


1. Workout in the morning before the day is too hectic.
You'll feel so much better knowing you burned some calories early in the day when you go to fill your plate.


2. Eat throughout the day so you don't binge at night!
Don't starve yourself throughout the day! If you eat regularly, you won't feel like you have to devour everything in sight once it's time for the feast. 

3. Use a smaller plate. 
This will make you automatically look at your portions so you can fit a little bit of everything on your plate. Then, go back for more if you're really hungry. Wait at least 10 minutes before filling up again. That way you have time to figure out if you really want more or if your eyes are bigger than your stomach.


5. Skip the bread.
Who wants to waste calories on a roll?? Unless they are fresh...then you might want to have one. Just ONE!

6. Save room for dessert. 
You know you are going to want it. ;)







And lastly: What he said!! It's only ONE day!
