Stay True to Your Body

We've just gotten through Thanksgiving recently, which is a big day to celebrate love and life with our family and friends.  I know that for most of us nutrition will go right out the door as we are spoiled with such traditional feasting, but although it is the holiday season, there are only a few particular days that I feel we really deserve to indulge.  Don't get carried away with the sweets and high-calorie foods on a random day like today!  And don't forget that during the holidays we all like to take pictures so do yourself a favor and look your very best!

Some tips to keep you mindful ::

1.  Drink lots and lots of water!  I know we all know this by heart, but seriously make it a habit to constantly flush yourself system clean.
2.  Remember that eating less is best -- that is, if you are surrounded by homemade cakes and pies then by all means have a small piece.  But don't let the pie eat you!
3.  Keep a food journal.  We don't always realize how much we've consumed until we write it all down.  The little snacks here and there add up much quicker than you think.
4.  Eat lots of vegetables and fruits that will enrich your body with the proper nutrients it needs to function at its best.  They will also keep you full so you don't end up munching on sweets all day long only to be left unsatisfied with a tummy ache.
