You Will Survive this Party! 5 Tips!

Whatchagonnado? You cleaned up act with clean eating and now you got invited to a: picnic, party, BBQ, wedding, Cookout.... [insert event]

All good things right!? Yes! But then again if you want to stay on track with your health and fitness goals you have to be a Ninja at these events! Here are some tips to keep you sane!

1. STAY ON TRACK PRE-EVENT 

Don't throw away the baby with the bath water! Starving yourself before your big event won't help you- it will actually slow your metabolism and likely make you so hungry there won't be an off switch!
 Eat as you normally would that day and even if you decide to treat yourself, you can do it with restraint! If that means eating before you go- why not? Your goals are long term, you'll feel great that you stayed on track!

2. DRINK WATER

Drink your water people! If you stay hydrated you also won't be ravenously hungry! You need a minimum of 1/2 your body weight in water ounces per day  just to function. If you are 140lbs that means 120 ounces or about 15 (8 ounce) cups per day! If you stay hydrated you are less likely to give into cravings that just don't make sense-- like those powdered donuts you never like but you end up eating them anyway! Yeah, that never happens!

3. BRING A DISH

Very simply, bring something you know you can eat! A healthy alternative or side dish. You may even educate your friends with something they had not thought of! Peppers and Hummus are my go to snack and I'm not afraid to bring them with me.  Or even getting the cut veggie  or fruit platter at the supermarket if your in a hurry! But try not to forget this step or your more likely to cheat. 

4. SWEAT

Get your workout in! At least 30 minutes. Then if you gonna little overboard you don't totally blow your day! You will feel better and enjoy your relaxation time even more! Its easy to skip but don't do it. It can actually help you recover from any indiscretions you may have. LOL!

5. ENJOY

Listen, parties are meant to be enjoyed! If you have a little too much fun- tomorrow is another day! Get back to it the next day. The thing that will set you apart is your ability to get back on track.  If you really blow it.  Pound the water and make sure to get your sweat in, and that nutrition back on track.  One day here or there wont hurt anything, but consistent days will undo all your hard work!! GO STRONG INTO YOUR HOLIDAY FRIENDS!
