Sheila in Cheyenne, WY:
What do you do to stay in shape with the holidays coming up and all the extra food?
Sheila, it is wonderful that you are aware of the increase in calories that usually comes with the holiday season! That is the first step to make sure you stay in shape. As a certified personal trainer, I advise my clients to prioritize so you can enjoy the holidays. Make a calendar with all of your family and social gatherings where you will be tempted by food. Decide that those events are the only times you will indulge - just a little. Avoid all other temptations... Just say "no" to cookies at work, fruitcake samples at the grocer, and anything else that tries to sneak in. And when you are celebrating, if you choose to indulge please make sure you actually LIKE what you are eating! Do not eat the dinner rolls if you really don't LOVE the dinner rolls! Finally, slightly increase your cardio activities. Jog an extra 10 minutes, take the stairs instead of the elevator, take a fun class you've been meaning to try. Best wishes!
