THE SILLY SEASON

Morning all, well the silly season is fast approaching us. It's a crazy, fun part of the year usually with lots of functions and parties to attend. It's also usually a time when our exercise and nutrition routine goes out the window. But it doesn't have to. By making a mental note of when these functions are happening, writing them in your diary or on the calendar you can be prepared and organised to fit your exercise in and still maintain a healthy diet. If you know you have a big weekend planned where there will be lots of yummy but maybe unhealthy food, or alcohol will be involved, why not do a big exercise session in the morning so you can have that extra glass of wine or some mini quiches or whatever takes you fancy. Knowing that you're exercise is already done for the day, you won't feel so guilty about having a few treats. The worst thing to do is arrive at these functions being absolutely starving and eating everything and anything in site. Have a bite to eat at home before you leave so you are not so hungry. Find some low alcohol alternatives or alternate with a drink of water in between. By being prepared and organised you are more likely to make smarter eating choices and still be doing some form of exercise every day. You can have you're cake and eat it too, just a small slice not the whole thing!
Till next time, have a great week! Gwen and Deb
