Hey Everyone
Can you believe next week is Thanksgiving  One thing we can always count on is the holidays creeping up on us too fast.  We can be successful eating through the Holidays.  We can continue to lose and feel good about ourselves come January 2nd   We will be posting a word a day (Monday - Friday) to help with suggestions for staying on track with our eating and exercising during the Holidays


Word for the day - PLANNING

With planning you can head off pit falls that come up and hit us in the face or should I say hips

Write down all the holiday events at work and with family.  Plan and buy your food.  BE PREPARED


**Plan your holiday get togethers and meals
**Plan your grocery lists
**Plan your food activities by writing them down on cards and put them on the Fridge
**Plan for office parties, if there are no foods you can eat, take  your own
**Plan for going to Grandma's house.  Re-work the recipes if you can or just take some of your own food.  If all else fails, take your own food, hide it from Grandma, push the fattening food around on the plate and when Grandma isn't looking feed it to the dog


Poor Planning, Results in Poor Results......  Planning Results in Positive Results

See ya tomorrow for tomorrow's Daily Word for Success

Take care,
Kathy

i agree with you about the planning.

if you take the time to plan out what you will need to eat properly whether at home or visiting, you are less likely to fall off the wagon and into food trouble

there are so many weight loss friendly recipes out there that the holiday can be enjoyable and you do not feel deprived.

i have tried to do this from my first post surgery holiday celebration and have had good success with proceeding that way.

so as i pack to visit my son in NC next week, i already have the fixings for the sugar free pumpkin mousse, minus the milk and coolwhip ready to go with me.

so i know for sure, that when its dessert time, there will be a yummy dessert for me.

happy turkey everyone  and i look forward to your words kathy,

hugs to all, jacki
