BACKIt's Coach Tip Friday! Here's some ideas to help keep your health habits on track during the holidays Change your focus from food to improving relationships and making memories. 1. Partake (in moderation).You don’t have to forgo indulgences; it just means setting some limits. 2. If you do drink alcohol, stick to the American Heart Association guidelines, no more than one drink per day for women. 3. Don't pause workouts. "A regular workout schedule of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity will not only help relieve stress, it will lead to better weight regulation during a time when calorie-dense foods are the norm." 4. Try a new activity. Options include both indoor and outdoor activities. The holidays are a great time to experiment, whether it's trying a Zumba class or swimming laps in an indoor pool. Gyms and clubs often offer deals during the holidays, so take advantage. 5. Track your habits. Food logs, activity trackers, fitness watches, or even a simple calendar are good ways to keep tabs on how often you are exercising. Tracking your daily progress can make you more conscious of your health habits and alert you when you're starting to slide. 6. Skip the shame. If you go off track during the holiday season, don't give up. Waving the white flag in defeat will just make it harder for you to get back on track when the New Year rolls around. Feel free to share the healthy habits you plan to maintain during the holiday season!

it's a process not perfection. Be proud of the accomplishments you've made and how far you've come!
