Pick your indulgences

Find that healthy balance you practice the rest of the year this holiday season and pick your indulgences. They’ll taste so much sweeter if you do! A few tips we have for the holiday lbs. that sneak up

• Drink a glass of water, sparkling or flat, between each alcoholic beverage

• Decide if you’re going to indulge in the main course or the dessert. Then enjoy every bite!

• Wait an extra 5 minutes before getting seconds

• Don’t finish the food on your children’s plates

• Chew a piece of gum while you are cooking or cleaning up to limit mindless eating

• Bundle up and add in extra family walks or go on your own first thing in the morning
