I'm ready -- any other suggestions?
MY HOLIDAY EATING PLAN:
1) Plan to continue to stay in control of food/exercise decisions
2) Exercise today & tomorrow morning to avoid the “I’ll walk it of the next day” approach.
3) I’ll be wearing tight clothes, so I don’t get that “sweat-pant mentality
4) I’ll only graze on veggies and other low-calorie items.
5) I’ll still enjoy all the things I love – like turkey and ½ cup portions of squash, potato (maybe), veggie and dressing – but not feel like I have to have some of everything.
6) Already bought “my own” fat-free gravy (no other cream sauces for me) and everyone else gets “real.”
7) I bought pineapple tidbits and raspberries for my desert and others will enjoy pumpkin pie.
8) No alcohol, just no-calorie drinks (ice tea, water, diet-soda);
9) I’ll eat slow and savor each bite.

Good plan!
My Holiday Survival Plan
1) Keep exercising. Daily. With DVD's. Anywhere and anytime
2) Make my mother-in-law my accomplice and ask her in advance for smaller portions.
3) Baked calorie-wise cookies like gingerbread cookies and cinnamon stars 30 kcal a piece.
4) Stay on maintenance calories for the duration of the holidays.
5) Enjoy.
