Tips for a Healthy Holiday #9-#10

Last two tips:

#9 - If the Christmas party is at your house, don't stress over cleaning. Remember it will be dirtier after the guests leave, then when you started cleaning in the first place. As mentioned earlier in Tip #1, stress can cause all kinds of havoc with your hormone system and most people eat to deal with unwanted stress. So when cleaning the house, crank up the Christmas tunes and work your butt off. Literally. Dance around and have fun. Do some walking lunges when pushing around the vacuum cleaner. Wash the windows as fast as you can to work your arms. Wash the kitchen floor on your hands and knees and throw in a few ab plank holds. If no one is home when your cleaning it won't matter what you look like. Work up a good sweat and get your workout in while your cleaning. Your on a tight schedule right now anyway, right? So do two things at once.

#10 - Have FUN! Relax, have fun, and no worries. If you slip up and eat too much, if you have too many finger foods or grandma's fudge, and/or drank too much, just remember one important thing. This does not mean you are a failure and you can't do this healthy lifestyle. You CAN do this. You ARE doing it.

Have a great holiday and keep pressing forward. One day does not define your year. When the wrapping paper and bows are picked up and thrown away jump on your treadmill.

God Bless.....
