Although holiday cards might encourage you to “Eat, drink and be merry,” the typical holiday season might be described as “Eat, sit and be harried.” Here are a few ways to ensure your health habits don’t take a tumble this season.

Instead of …

Celebrate this way …

Bingeing on high-calorie foods at

holiday parties and get-togethers …

Make your own lighter versions of seasonal treats, and plan for a few splurges on your favorites

so you won’t feel deprived.

Using your busy holiday schedule as an

excuse for not exercising …

Get active with your family and friends by taking a walk, getting guest passes to the gym or organizing a game of touch football.

Letting your in-laws get to you, spending

too much money or worrying about

creating a picture-perfect holiday …

Focus on what really matters. Try a simplified holiday season that makes people, not stuff, a priority. It will help you relax and be thankful for what you have.
