1. Focus on fun...not food
We all know the holidays are about spending time with the ones you love. It's not about how much food you can eat.

Relatives, friends and neighbors all have different meal times than you, so try and adjust to their meal times.

Nothing like getting a work out while cutting down your very own Christmas tree!
4. Indulge in SPECIAL holiday treats
Treat yourself only to those once-a-year goodies.
5. Make the time to exercise
Exercise is a great stress reliever. Find the time for a quick trip to the gym or get outside for a run/walk.
6. Stock the freezer with healthy foods
Plan ahead. Prepare and freeze healthy meals.
7. Go easy on the gravy and sauces
Don't be heavy-handed while pouring the sauce/gravy over your holiday dinners!

Try and limit yourself during the festivities.
