Great idea for holiday eating
I was just reading a fitness magazine and a suggestion was given to help make it through the holiday eating. Save the splurges for something really special, but if it’s food you have seen in the last 2 weeks let it go by. If you are only exposed to pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving then go for it, but if someone offers you a sugar cookie during the Christmas season odds are they are everywhere so let them go by. For me, one special food is my mom’s poppyseed bread. We only have it at Christmas, so if I let it pass by I will have to wait until next Christmas. But the other stuff isn’t all that special so it can wait.
I’ll try to apply this approach to the Halloween candy tonight as well. And tonight might be more of a challenge because my sitter called and she’s sick so I need to pick up the kids right after school instead of having the time to workout. I still plan to fit in 30 minutes or so but even if I can’t workout I need to stay focused on the eating.
