This is probably the easiest one to mess up during the holiday season because you\u2019re so busy enjoying festive cocktails!

There will be cocktail parties with loads of delicious appetizers, big dinners and lots of desserts. But the key here? Only eat when you\u2019re hungry.

This one takes a ton of willpower, but if you\u2019ve been willing to work for that gorgeous body all year, you\u2019re willing to keep it up as well.<\/p>\n Squeeze in lots of walks.<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s one of the best parts of the holiday season, friends and family love to take winter walks \u2013 capitalize on that. If you have a bunch of guests over for a holiday feast, suggest a post-dinner and pre-dessert walk. Not only will your body thank you, but the kiddos will too when you help them get some of their extra energy out before bed.<\/p>\n Make your party contribution something healthy.<\/strong>\u00a0This is the easiest way to get around eating foods that don\u2019t make you feel your best. Bring something you know will keep you satisfied, but make you feel good too. If you\u2019re asked to bring an appetizer, go for a huge veggie platter with some good-for-you dip. If it\u2019s your turn to bring dessert, opt for a giant fruit salad or cut strawberries and fresh whipped cream.
