The holidays bring so many things - fun with friends, family, parties, food, shopping... it's a time where it is very easy to get very off track - very fast. I found a really great article on Better Health USA that gives some good tips to maintain a generally healthy lifestyle this time of year, without denying yourself of the things you enjoy. Remaining vigilant during the times you CAN control your food and activity is super important. You can't dictate your schedule or menu if you're visiting family, but you can before and after your visit. You can squeeze in a quick run or even a walk with a friend during the holiday craziness without missing out on all of the fun. Compensating for an anticipated big "cheat day" by having a few super clean healthy days leading up to it can really help keep you from getting hopelessly off track.
Remember, maintaining your current weight or fitness level this time of year is enough... just try not to backslide and you'll jump right back in after New Years!
