http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/52/subjects/4180 <p>Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the upcoming holiday? I know I've been working hard the past few weeks to eat healthy and stay active, and I've already started to think about the impact that Thanksgiving will have on that.</p> <p>I'm hosting this year, so I'm in control of the menu for the most part, and I know there will be healthy options - turkey (obviously), salad, vegetables. I'm more concerned once the wine starts flowing that it will get easier and easier to forget my long-term goals for a short-term stuff-myself-to-the-brim dinner.</p> <p>This year I'm going to try to drink VERY moderately, and I'm also trying to plan out what I can make ahead so that I can go for a walk beforehand. I'm not going to kid myself and say that I'll have time for an all-out workout that day, but I'll probably try to get that in the day before. I'm sure the gym will be packed!</p> <p>Does anyone else have any other tips/ideas/plans?</p> en-us <p>I know it's after the fact, and I certianly didn't accomplish this, but a friend of mine started her first ever family turkey trot. On Thanksgiving day, the family all went for a 5k walk/run at a local park at about 10:00 that morning then all came home and finished cooking and didnt feel as guilty during the feast.</p> <p>I thought it was a great idea and I'm going to try to get my family to do this in my neighborhood next year.</p> seriously4getful Sun, 27 Nov 2011 22:01:26 -0500 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/52/subjects/4180 12811
