With Christmas/Chanukah behind us and New Years Eve ahead of us I’m interested to hear how you all stay healthy through the Holidays. I know in past years I’ve felt a little sluggish and “heavy” but this year I feel great and don’t think I’ve really put on any weight – if so, it is a minimal amount. I think this is because:
- I remained active (including snow-shoeing with mom and hotel gym)
- The “Holidays” are not a month-long event for me
- I eat great food year-round – this is not a once-in-a-year chance (with the exception of some cookies)
- I enjoyed cookies and treats but because I never denied myself, I never over-did it
How are you feeling this year? And what did you do to keep up with your healthy lifestyle? (if you are into that sort of thing 
)

I bumped up my activity frequency and really stopped to think about how hungry I really was before I ate. This resulted in my just skipping some meals.
Hmmm, skipping meals? Not recommended for most but I know that you can do it and not over-eat on the next meal. Why was this gene not passed on to me?

I have to say, we had an overwhelming amount of goodies around the office but considering I am now FAR from the kitchen I never found myself over-indulging. I also noticed an increased appetite for carbs, so my workout routine changed to combat this….cardio, cardio, cardio.

snowshoeing? fun!! i want to get a pair for my mom and dad to keep at the cabin. what a great work out. i think we might try cross country skiing next weekend!
i usually try to allow my self small tastings of everything and try not to go back for seconds. i also up-ed the yoga and have tried to increase water consumption to flush the toxins. easier said than done though

I had good intentiotions for this holiday.. trying to keep to my routine except when we got to my in-laws they didn’t have electricity due to the snowstorm
Sometimes life gets in the way and you just have to go with the flow!

I’ve never been snow shoeing but it is something I’ve always wanted to try!
How is it as a workout?
Yes it is! It doesn’t really feel like it while you are doing it – I wasn’t out of breath or anything but you burn almost 500 calories per hour! And it was really nice to be outside in the wilderness

I know what you mean! I definitely ate sweets that were given to me during the season, but I’d make sure the following meals were totally clean and nourishing. I stepped on the scale today, after a long leave of absence, and my weight was exactly the same. Whew!
Someone was just telling me about snow-shoeing the other day, it sounds awesome! I love outdoor exercise. Winter sports, while seemingly daunting, can actually be quite fun.
