The Day After. Have a plan !

Who doesn't plan to have leftovers on Thanksgiving?  That's half the fun…that turkey sandwich or slice of pie while you're watching a holiday movie.  That's okay…but let's be honest.  Do you reach for the pie at breakfast, pick at the leftover stuffing throughout the day?

Have a plan in place so that you've got some healthy meals that are just as easy to grab and go.  Keep fruit on hand, washed and ready to grab in the morning.  Tossing a few pieces in the Vitamix or blender is super easy.  A hearty grain breakfast is filling and if you add cinnamon and nuts you've got a seasonal treat that will feel like a great start on a holiday weekend.  Members can find Coach Jan's crock pot grains in the recipe section along with more of her tips for avoiding over indulgence in the Hot for the Holidays forum.  You'll notice we said "over" indulgence.  I little indulgence is to be expected, but you don't need to be a runaway train.  

 Enjoy the holidays without falling victim to the typical 7 pound weight gain most Americans experience between Thanksgiving and New Year's.  Stay connected, stay accountable.
