Healthy AND Sane Holiday 2011

MINDFULNESS

be aware! when eating with others, pay attention to what you’re eating.. don’t get distracted

FIBER

fill up with it. especially in flax– healthy omegas

PLAN

prep & plan some more – know what you’ll eat ahead of time as much as possible

ALCOHOL

pick your poison carefully. hidden calories lurk & you’re more likely to overeat

SELF TIME

food becomes easier when you’re not stressed. think warm bath, good run, massage, read

STRUCTURE

workouts – plan your time

COMMITMENT

to yourself. make it. keep it.

WATER & HERBAL TEA

are your best friends

SNACK

healthy – prepare your own single serving snack size (celery, radishes, nuts, gum). do not skip meals.

CHOICE

you are in control! make good decisions for your health. want that dessert? skip bread & butter

SLEEP!

helps the hormone that controls appetite

BALANCE

it is ok not to do it all – enjoy what you can say yes to, and let go of the rest

SCRUTINIZE & PRIORITIZE

it’s ok to ask how a dish is prepared when out, splurge only on what’s really worth it
