Margaret had the lesson from the November Tops news on “All the Holiday Cheer can become a chore.” We need to know the triggers that get to us, a certain person, a time of day, or certain tasks. The holigays can be good or bad. We need to hope for the best in everything. Do not take things personally. Just remember our pledge : I am an intelligent person, I will control my emotions and not let them control me. Be honest with yourself. Have a happy holiday.

The lesson was from Women’s Day “Avoid Winter Weight Gain” from late October to January lots of treats. This article was a guide to tasting lean proteins and veggies are good to eat before you cook for the holidays. Count each spoon and taste. Visual reminders of what you ate, write it down. It all makes a difference. Keep good snakcs on hand like edanome, zucchini sticks, cucumber slices, celery sticks, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli florets. Eat regular meals and good snacks like apples slices and peanut butter. Remember 1.2 veggies, ¼ meat and ¼ carbs is the beat meal plan. Now what? Don’t be hard on yourself. Start over if you have to. Drink 8 glasses of water. Walk everyday. Get 5 grams of fibers and veggies. Make small cut from your diet. Make healthy meal plans. Plain yogurt with a touch of honey just get started today.
