Make exercise a daily priority. Wake up early and workout before all the festivities begin for the day. It is important to plan a workout into your schedule, along with cooking, parties, etc. Incorporate exercise into a family affair by taking a walk after a holiday meal, walking to look at Christmas lights, etc.
Don’t over-indulge on the holiday sweets. Choose which indulgences you have to have, and choose them first. Try having old fashioned caramel rolls. Also, try to avoid skipping meals, which will slows down your metabolism and causes you to over-eat during the next meal.
