Holiday Health

Last time, we were talking about the holidays. It's always difficult not to indulge with so many treats and parties around the holidays. Here are some tips for staying fit, or at least not expanding, during the holiday season.

1. If there are a lot of treats around your office, try to avoid them as much as possible. If you get a box of chocolates from someone, for instance, and you know you'll dig into it if it comes home - don't bring it home! No, you aren't being rude. Find someone to whom you can give it so that the giver doesn't know that you've given it away. Your body will thank you.

2. Continue to exercise. Just because it's the holiday season doesn't mean that you stop working out. Now, maybe you can even step it up a bit, work off some extra calories and strip that fat.


3. Watch carbs. While watching the football game, try not to munch on pretzels and breads. Reach for vegetables, fruits and proteins as much as you can.
