CHRISTMAS DAY SURVIVAL TIPS
Christmas Day is only 1 day but if you overindulge too much it can spillover into the next day as lethargy continues and you find it hard to get moving again.
Quite often this is when we can throw in the towel and resolve to be good from New Years Day so take the few easy steps above to make sure Christmas Day damage is limited to 1 day only.
Enjoy your day!

CHRISTMAS DAY SURVIVAL TIPS
- Eat super clean for the next couple of days so you are ahead of the game before Christmas Day lands.
- Exercise Christmas morning - do 20 minutes of high intensity intervals and 20 minutes of a high intensity resistance circuit. This will burn a massive amount of calories and you will be feeling firm and toned from the circuit - anyone can find 40 minutes even if you have to get up early to squeeze it in (for mums who are already woken at 4am by your kids you don't count but duck out which the kids are occupied).
- Have a proper breakfast and DO NOT save yourself for lunch and be sure to have a good balance of carbs and protein.
- Have a snack before lunch that again is a good mix of carbs and protein.
- Drink plenty of water and before you head to lunch have a protein shake make with skim milk.
- By the time you have lunch you will not be starving and are less likely to overindulge especially in the chips and dips usually on offer.
- Eat Christmas Lunch as a free meal and without guilt but keep in mind that you can have whatever you want just not a ton of it - who wants to be moaning and groaning and wanting to fall asleep for the rest of the day with your top button undone?!
- If you can head out for a walk after lunch do it - try to encourage others to come with you to head out for a 20 minute walk around the block to clear out the cobwebs and burn off some of those extra calories.
- If you are drinking nothing new here, 1 wine to 1-2 glasses of water or sparkling water - this is a must if you don't want to crash and burn by 4pm.
- If you have to head out for a Christmas dinner as well make it a smaller version of lunch and again head out for a walk afterwards.
- If you don't eat out until dinner eat a clean lunch and add another snack as before but hold off on the protein shake until just before you head to dinner.
