Here's a 4 step guide to how I survived 2 Christmas parties in 2 nights!
Normally I give in, but this year has been my BEST year of health and I didn’t
want to quit on month 12, so I created a plan. I knew I still wanted to have cookies
and alcohol, but I didn’t need to over indulge, so I planned.
Step #1: I planned to workout during the day of the party, extra goodies on top of no workout is a bad idea…. so make sure to get that workout in and go hard on party days
Step 2: The next plan was to eat well throughout the day of the party, I made sure to get my typical turkey bacon and eggs, fruits, veggies, etc J There’s nothing worse than eating terrible all day long then adding more bad choices on top of it…set yourself up for success and eat well that day
The trick is the next part…
Step #3: I planned to drink my shakeology about an hour
before the party started. This was the WINNER! I’ve done the first 2 steps in
the past and still failed at the party, so step #3 made a huge difference! Why
did it make a difference? A couple reasons:
1. It kept
me full. When you’re full it’s a lot harder to over indulge and eat until your
pants come unbuttoned.
2. It
curbed my cravings. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, but when I prep with shakeology,
the sweet tooth melts away. I actually want to eat more healthy food instead of
sweets.
Step #4: I planned to only have a small amount of alcohol.
Alcohol will sabotage all of your progress if you have too much. I’m sure this
is a step a lot of people would like to skip since it’s part of the season, but
this step right here makes a BIG impact on your results!
I hope these 4 steps help you during your Christmas parties
as much as they’ve helped me! If you want more details on Shakeology, be sure

food choices this year!
