I know! The holidays. There is no other time when it is harder to watch your diet. The best advice I can give you is don't sweat it! Try a little of everything...but the key word is TRY. Don't indulge! Fill that plate just once with a heaping tablespoon of everything. Start with green foods and work your way to the brown foods...the more colorful, the better! Deserts? Split a cookie with a loved one. Opt for a sliver of two different kinds of pie. And enjoy a cocktail! Stay away from the colored liquors and have a vodka and soda instead. Even champagne is a great option! White wine or red wine is always a winner. Start with water so that your thirst is quenched and wait until the second hour at a party to start with the alcohol.

Walk when you have the chance! A quick jaunt around the block can do wonders. And if it is snowing, pull out the Twister game or the kids hula hoops, or walk the dog. Just 15-20 minutes of a heart engaging exercise will boost your metabolism enough to keep your indulgences from wrecking your waistline.

You are allowed to have fun! Just do it in moderation!

Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year to all my fitness friends!
