Watch video on how to eat smart during the holidays!

Eating right during holiday season can be a biatch! Nutritionist, Stephanie Lecovin gave me some helpful tips on how to beat the holiday bulge. Here is what she suggests:

Here are a few tips to help people stay on track during the holiday season:
1. Deck the halls with fruits & veggies! Keep containers of cut up fruits and veggies available for munching.
2. Making egg nog? Think twice. We’re talking sugar, sugar, fat and more sugar! You’re much better off having a glass of red wine!
3. Go nuts! Roasted nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, etc.) mixed with dark chocolate are a healthy, decadent treat.
4. Never bake cookies for Santa on an empty stomach. Also, be realistic…if you want to enjoy one or two of those cookies, sit down and enjoy them! Don’t eat them standing up, distracted, and feeling guilty.
5. Eat a balanced dinner before going to a cocktail party. You’ll be less likely to over-indulge in unhealthy appetizers or desserts and will at least have something in your stomach before drinking. 6. Choose your side dishes wisely. Make lots of colorful veggie dishes (salads, Brussels sprouts, green beans, etc.) and just one starchy side (potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, bread, etc.).

Happy holidays to all! Eat smart!

OMG! I Gained 10 Lbs. Its coming OFF!!!!! Here’s how.Day 2

This was a day of true motivation… I needed to sweat! Of course when and how became the issue.
I had only 2 hours before I picked my son up from preschool and I had a ton of work, 2 errands and 14 emails to respond to. I still made it happen and I am proud to say I have sweaty hands typing this blog, (gross. TMI?)

Here is what I ate.

Breakfast: My Fav cereal, shredded spoonfuls by Barbara. Sprinkled with flax seed 3/4 cup low fat milk. Coffee
Water with lemon and hour later, (totally cut the food urge)

snack: A piece of string cheese and a small Fuji apple

Lunch: over grilled chicken and a side of spinach salad

snack: a few wasa crackers with light cow cheese, (the triangles) yum

Dinner: a bowel of grilled veggies with lots of garlic and seasonings and a small side of whole grain pasta with a TON of sauce. ( That’s the key of eating pasta. have it, but load up with the marinara the tomatoes are great for you)

Desert: A small square of dark chocolate, small tspn, of almond butter, and a swig of low fat milk

My work out was this. I wanted to go for a run, didn’t happen… to much to do. so after dinner and the food was digested I did my “Rag Drag” for 25 minutes as my kids played on the computer and my daughter colored some pictures. Its was easy to do with them in the room, they just like me there and laugh when I bust out with the rags. Oh, I also folded the laundry while I was “draggin”

I also managed to squeeze in 12 push ups at my sink 6 times to day. (that adds up!)

So there ya have it! It’s COMING OFF!!!!!!!
Best Carolyn
