And to make the holidays even easier here is my yearly reminder...

1. Ditch the idea that you are either on track or you are off track - as my friend Cristina Curp says "Burn the wagon!"
2. Ask yourself those important questions that help you have an awareness BEFORE you go in without a plan.
3. Put foods on your plate that make you happy.
4. Eat the foods on your plate that make you happy. DO IT!
5. Avoid the foods that make you feel like garbage. Or don’t and then be OK with maybe feeling like a hot dumpster fire.
6. Give yourself grace – one day is a blip on the radar of your lifetime. Spoiler alert: you can’t undo it all in one day
7. Remember: it is not your responsibility to make anyone else comfortable with how you choose to eat.
8. STOP GIVING THE FOOD SO MUCH POWER!!!!!
9. Get in a holiday workout if you WANT to or don’t. Just don’t burn to earn, push to punish or fast to blast.
10. PLEASE JUST ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS!!!
