Get off the Couch
As you attend holiday parties, do not sit on the sofa and surf the television. Get up and get active! Simply standing will burn more calories than being a couch potato and you can catch up with more relatives than sitting and waiting for everyone to come to you. So get up and get moving!

Eat Your Greens
Start making more salads during holiday time to have you feeling full and help you avoid overeating. Greens have plenty of fiber that can better your digestive health and help you to combat mindless eating. So make a few dressings, store in a tupperware and diversify your greens.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Host a Healthy Party
If you are hosting the holiday, do not start baking cheesecakes and every other high calorie indulgence. Make healthier food swaps that will not leave you feeling as if you are in diet deprivation. There are plenty of creative ways to eat healthy and at the party you host, you can share this with your guests (without them even knowing).
