#29 - Fit Tips Friday!, edition 3  

Posted by Tami Hagglund in

Well, hello lovelies!

Work has been IN. FREAKING. SANE. This week so I am sorry for the infrequency of my posts. I normally try to write every day, but I haven't had even two minutes for even little quickie ones. Lame, I know.

So now for Fit Tips Friday: this weekend, as I hope you all know, is Easter. For my husband and I, it's about commemorating the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the atonement for our sins. For my family, it's mostly about ham.

So... Sunday is the fam-ham gathering. Here's the question: how do you stay in control in these big-family meal settings? How do you enjoy the food (not bringing your own salad- LAME) but not engorge yourself on 4 helpings of your Grandma's famous mashed potatoes? I need your help, so ring em on in!

I'll post the ones I see fitting my life the best around 5 pm PDT today.

PS Go Zags!!

2 battle cries

Dish up only half a serving/spoon/scoop full of everything you want to eat. Eat slowly, focusing on the flavors and textures. Then go back for seconds for only the things you truly enjoy/love-- and no more than a serving. Absolutely no thirds-- but see if you can take some leftovers home-- bring a plastic container along.

It helps me eat slowly and more purposefully if I put my utensils down between every single bite and also take a swallow of water between most bites.
