“One Rule” to Stay on Track AND Enjoy the Holiday Season!

“One Rule” to Stay on Track AND Enjoy the Holiday Season!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!!

From family gatherings to get-togethers with friends, we are tempted with more mouthwatering food and drinks between thanksgiving and January, 1st than we are the entire year!!!!  It’s easy to say to ourselves “I’ll start January 1st” and justify our indulgences every opportunity we get, right?  Let’s change our mindset and start those “New Year’s Resolution” thoughts and actions now…in December!! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting you completely deprive yourself, but just like with Thanksgiving, there are ways we can enjoy ourselves without over doing it.

I recently read an interesting article that listed the “One Rule” several nutrition experts stick to in order to achieve a healthy and enjoyable Holiday season.  I listed 10 of them for you to glance over and if you’re interested in applying their “One Rule” you can click on the link below to read the short article :).
