My 2007 Holiday Guidelines

I thought I would share my guidelines to stick to during the holiday season - I'm trying to be realistic .. If I stick to these, I will be happy. Would love to hear how others plan to get through the holidays!

2007 Holiday Guidelines

1. No solitary indulgences – meaning, if I’m going to indulge – it will be part of something social and festive – not solo. This also means, no binges.
2. I’m not going to avoid any parties/events because I’m afraid of how I’ll do – eating wise.
3. If it’s a dinner occasion, I will eat my normal balanced portions – a little extra if it’s something special.
4. If its just a dessert party – I will allow myself 1 portion of it – as my snack – I will be reasonable like perhaps 3 holiday cookies or 1 piece of special pie or cake.
5. I will exercise as normal but give myself slack if it just doesn’t fit in due to social activities for kids, etc. 3-4 x week cardio (incl 1 spin class), 2-3 x week weight training .
6. Thanksgiving – my fav holiday I can eat what I want for dinner! Only 1 piece of pumpkin pie for dessert.
7. Daily PT logging and posting.
8. Drink water as much as I can.
9. If I go overboard, I will be kind to myself and start anew asap. Avoid the “all or nothing” syndrome.
10. I will be happy if I step on the scale on the new year and it reads maximum 165 (i'm now 169 and my goal is 150 - i've lost 46 lbs so far). This to me, is realistic. Then I will work on reaching my goal before my Easter trip home!!!
