Holiday Cheer!!

called my mother this morning, frantic and exhausted. “We have to be in Cody by noon for dance rehearsal. The performance is at 2. Be back by 4 to Meeteetese for Church.” I rambled on about ironing this and cooking that.My mother, hesitated a moment and said. “Ya, but isn't it so much fun and so exciting?” “Oh yaa...,” I thought. Right. “ And then I realized she is right Christmas is so much fun! I just love this time of year. The lights, the sounds and oh yes.... the smells.There is truly not better time of the year, than Christmas.Don't though, put your health on the shelf this Holiday Season!Here are some great ideas to make it though the Cheer with out gaining those extra rolls, chins and sags.Before, you venture out to Parties: Eat high protein and high fiber snacks. (i.e. Dried fruits, jerky, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, yogurt or nuts.) And Drink 8-12 oz of water 8 times dailyOnce at the party, pick two of your absolute favorite goodies and limit yourself to that.Keep drinking water while at the party.Keep in mind that, every bite of Holiday Cheer is roughly 100 calories and 16 grams of fat.Don't continue making yourself sick for 2006.
