24 Blogging Days

My friend, Dina Giolitto, decided to establish "24 blogging days 'till Christmas"
She sent out a note challenging anyone who wanted to - to write a blog post every day for 24 days.

I like a challenge, so I took her up on it.

Today's blog post has to do with Holiday Stress -

During the holidays - we have opportunities to get together with friends, eat special meals, and have ready access to rich foods and alcohol.

A little indulgence is fairly easy for your body to handle, but a lot of indulgence puts a strain on your body. You can help make the holidays (and 2008) happier by following these tips:
1. Drink more water
2. Continue with your exercise routine
3. Resign from the "clean plate club" Many times we feel we should eat all the food we are served, or that we serve ourselves. It can take practice to learn to take smaller portions, but you can begin by simply not finishing everything on your plate - I think that was an old weight watchers trick - practice leaving some food on your plate to break that habit

Here's to happier holidays

Ahh, Cynthia. Aren't you sweet, blogging your heart out over here. Definitely do not be stressed about the 24 Blogging Days Until Christmas. :) The idea is to have fun. And also, as I have discovered, that we can accomplish much more than we think we can. For example, coming up with 24 blog tips in a single day...

Happy Blogging! I went running earlier, now it's off to buy more food. Taking your advice to heart!

Great tips, Cynthia.

We all try to do more than we can/should/need to! I have the following quote from Dr. Northrup posted on my dashboard:

I am enough
I have enough
I do enough

Let's all remember that this holiday season!

Susan,
this is a really great quote. I love Christiana Northrup's work - she really gets women in their 40's.

Maybe I'll use your comment as one of the blogging days posts

Sorry to know of your husband's blockage - good luck with that.
