Hope you were successful

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I hope that you had a successful day.

But I find that the days following are almost harder than the actual day. The leftovers and the baking are way more tempting in the middle of the afternoon or late at night.

So the thing we should keep in mind is do we really need to eat that. Sometimes the answer will be no. And sometimes it will be yes.

Some tips to figure out the answer

1. Drink a glass of water first. Sometimes you think you are hungry when you are just thirsty.
2. How long has it been since you ate something substantial? If it has been a while, do not pick the left over pie. Go for some turkey or something else that your body can work with.
3. If you choose to eat the pie, think about portion size. Take a small piece. It will likely be just as satisfying.
4. If you want to indulge, fine. But do something to counter that. Do an extra workout to make up for it.

Good luck.
