"Emma's Healthy Holiday Plan" - Step #1

I don’t know about you guys but wow, did I stuff myself over Thanksgiving. Between all the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie I ate, I feel like I gained about 10 pounds this week! My jeans are so tight they barely zip.

In order to combat the holiday weight gain that so many people fall victim to, I’ve decided to start really focusing on maintaining my healthy habits during this binge-filled season. This week I’ll be giving you insight into “Emma’s Healthy Holiday Plan” – my effort to avoid the dreaded holiday weight gain.

The first thing I’m going to do is start keeping a food diary. I’ve found that I’m often a mindless eater, munching on calorie-laden snacks when I’m not even hungry. Writing down everything I eat helps me to track my caloric intake and see where the holes are.

I’ll fill you in on step number 2 of Emma’s Healthy Holiday Plan later this week.
