How to stay on track in the last 10 days of the year
My 3 best tips
It’s the final countdown. We are all frantically wrapping up that last item on our to-do list with a bow on top so we can get some well deserved down-time with family and friends (or in the sun, if that’s your plan, you lucky dog).
I’ve found that these 3 basic and achievable tactics to go a long way in helping me stay largely on track, while still being able to indulge in holiday treats. So for my last newsletter of the year, here goes, short + sweet.
1️⃣ Getting a high-protein breakfast is a gamechanger. For most people, this is probably around 25-35g protein. You’ll find that starting your day this way sets you up for success by keeping your energy steady with fewer crashes and cravings. My favorite is a smoothie, like these or this one.
2️⃣ Next, check in with your stomach and stop eating when you’re 80% full. That’s right, that second helping is usually what makes you wish you were wearing something with an elastic waist. There’s a lag between what your stomach senses and when the message hits your brain, so try to stop when you still feel like you have room. This one is hard, but worth it, IMHO.
3️⃣ Enjoy the desserts you love! But try to stick to the ‘3-bite’ rule and savor every bite. Check out this cake and this fruitcake for some guilt-free treats.
