I love the holiday season. It's fun getting caught up in buying the tree, shopping for holiday parties, buying presents, and spending time with friends and family, and of course trying to stay on track with loving the weight we are at for our wedding day! With all of the things you need to manage during the holidays wouldn't it be nice if your weight wasn't one of them?

I used to get distracted by sampling all the treats and browsing the perfect gifts instead of going on a hike or prepping my healthy meals for the week. I have learned from experience that with a little bit of planning, you can engage in some simple healthy behaviors that will make you feel confident and vibrant all throughout the holidays to the new year.
