SUPER BOWL HELP

The fact that you already worked out is a good sign. I like to get an extra workout in when I know there will be tasty food coming my way.

I know a lot of fans are bringing veggie trays to parties so they can eat something low cal.

Eat something before going. Don't sit directly in front of the food. Nurse your drink (s). Concentrate on the game. GO PATS!

I've been thinking about that a lot today. I plan on eating and drinking of course, but my plan of attack is to take a veggie tray and try to a least fill up on Veggies first. In fact, i read an article earlier that said do not go hungry to a SB party. Try to eat a healthy meal at home first (of course i know this can be hard if the party lasts all day and into the evening). The drinking part is hard. I just try not to do it. But you could try a diet mixed with something, or one of the lower calorie beers?? Oh, and I think I'll feel much better about it since I got in a pretty good workout this morning.

Plan before you go. Take some healthy food with you. Drink heaps of water, the alcohol won't be as attractive. Have a small sample of the party food so you don't feel like you have completely missed out but then stop. It will only be an issue if you keep going. For Pizza / Desert cut the slice in half, minimise the damage. You be the winner this superbowl. Wake up tomorrow morning feeling like a champion.

And try to remember it's about friends and fellowship-not food. The food is there, but it doesn't need to be the center of attention.

Have fun!

I am looking forward to the Superbowl party. I started 8 days ago and this is my first time to look it in the face and win. It might be my first Superbowl in 20 years where i dont drink beer. Celery and water, yummy

Its the SuperBowl, the Giants are playing and calories don't count! ENJOY! It's 1 day a year!

PS GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

Agree with everything you said! Go Eli!

I got an extra-long workout in. I'm also skipping the alcohol today and sticking with club soda.

This year, we decided that instead of the usual chicken, chips, cheesecake and fries, we're cooking a few gourmet--and healthier--items for enjoying during the Super Bowl. So it's going to be lamb sliders, bison burger bites, stuffed mushrooms and fruit cups.

Drink lots of water before you go. And just try to pay attention how much of what you are eating. Veggies and cheeses would be good choices. And light beer or liquor w/ diet soda is good for getting your drink on, lol!

WooHoo! Animal Planet! Puppy Bowl!

I am DVRing it, so I can watch it later!!

Another thing. I just took a nutritional course and the presenter mentioned that if you eat an apple before a big meal you are less likely to over eat. It's related to the fiber and a fiber rich diet helps over eating. It couldn't hurt to try.

I am trying it, and the veggies since I know I will have some drinks.
My hubby makes the best strawberry daqueries! :drinker:

I'm going to a party today and I'm expecting a HUGE amount of food and alcohol. These people love to drink and eat (and so do I :blushing: ) Anyway, I got my workout in and I've had a pretty good week.. I'm really worried about sabotaging it all today. If anyone has any tips for me they would be greatly appreciated! hope everyone is doing wonderful!

If you've been healthy all this week and unless you plan to eat a week's worth of food in one day, you cannot sabotage it all away. Great job getting the workout in!! Allow yourself some treats or otherwise you'll be miserable and distracted the whole time. Maybe bring some gum to chew on after you've had a few treats (it's all about portion sizes today since most things won't be too healthy). If you can, try not to drink alcohol at all since drinking makes some people have cravings. And remember, if you overdo it a little bit today, it's not the end of the world. Good luck!

Patriots or Giants??

Oh yeah, Go Giants!!!
