happy halloween!

Happy Halloween! We are approaching the holiday season very quickly. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's on the way, we tend to pick up some extra weight. Everyone is happy, throwing parties, staying inside, and eating more and it seems impossible to keep that weight from adding on.

• Take time to drink LOTS of water. With all of the sugar and heavy foods you will indulge in these next two months, that water will keep the weight off of you. The more you drink, the less bloated you are. If you’re not taking in enough water, your body will contain it.
  
  
• Do not sit down after you eat. Watch the times you eat, meaning, don’t eat dinner late, you’re not walking around the house or doing any activity late at night after you eat. Give yourself 30 minutes at least to stay active after a meal.
  
  
• I know it may be hard but eat in moderation this holiday season. It’s okay to indulge in everything but don’t make it a habit throughout the day. Leave that one time in your day to indulge but have one healthy or light meal as well just to keep some balance.
  
  

It’s easy to get lethargic and comfortable this season. Hopefully these tips will keep up your momentum.
