Seven Habits for Highly Healthy Holidayswww.orthocarolina.com/media/seven-habits-for-highly-healthy-holidaysThe holiday season is upon us. It’s the time of the year to enjoy celebrating and spending time with family and friends; however, for many, it’s also the time of the year that disrupts schedules and interrupts progress with health goals. Inevitably, it seems, goals and progress are placed on hold until it’s time for New Year’s resolutions, and unfortunately, research shows that those resolutions are rarely reached. This year, make a change by following these seven simple habits for healthy holidays:
Habit Three – Indulge Yourself
A plan for the holiday season should include an allowance for favorite indulgences. Whether it’s a family favorite recipe or a visit to a home town restaurant, the holiday season won’t be the same without these special treats. Deprivation never works, so plan for the indulgences. Perhaps, give up something that is less enjoyable to allow for the most enjoyable treats. Once planned for, indulgences should be enjoyed without guilt. Slow down and savor every bite!
Questions:
1. How was your Thankgsgiving? 2. Will you work indulgences into your holiday food plans? If so, how and what foods are worth indulging in?
3. Share whatever is on your mind

1. How was your Thankgsgiving? We didn't do anything...no turkey with all the fixings. Turkey is imported and expensive or locally produced and tough and I am avoiding it so...we didn't do anything...and not having family here made it that way even more.
2. Will you work indulgences into your holiday food plans? If so, how and what foods are worth indulging in? My husband has never been big on celebrations SO doubt we will do anything BUT if there is a holiday food item that I see between now and next year...I might try to work it in.
3. Share whatever is on your mind Nothing to really share. It will continue to be quiet with just my husband and I here. I think that he will harvest the olives in the next week or so and they will be pressed for olive oil and I will pickle some for next year. I wish we could be with family BUT understand the health risks and will continue to see them via Skype weekly instead.
I am still eating predominately Core-Power Foods and tracking on I Track Bites and My Fitness Plan.
