1. Plan ahead: Without a plan it is easy to lose yourself amid all the fun. Plan your workout and meals ahead of each day. If you intend to attend a party or dinner, eat less during the day, so you don’t turn down meals and you don’t over eat.

2. Workout in the morning: Workout early in the morning before the day’s fuzz and busyness.  It will help you stay in control of your day.

3.  Moderation is Key: What is the need for all the hard work if you can’t indulge? Don’t spoil the holiday for family and loved ones by refusing to eat at family gatherings or parties.
