Long Weekends....


Well, the long, holiday weekend is upon us.
For those who are "dieting" or watching their food, it can be a stressful time.
BBQ's, family gatherings..carnivals..
Fattening, fried, and high calorie foods abound.
However, if you PLAN ahead and account for these "exceptions" you CAN survive AND enjoy these events.

Offer to bring a side dish or dessert so you can control at least one thing that is available to eat.
Eat something before heading out to events and gatherings. If you aren't starved when you get there, you won't be as tempted to make poor choices.

But, above all, ENJOY these events.
Time spent with family and friends is the best time spent. If you indulge more than you should.....realize it and move past it.

When you are given the opportunity to slow down and enjoy life's pleasures you can't waste those moments worrying about what you "could have" or "should have" done.
That is what Monday morning is for. LOL

Happy 4th of July everyone.
