The Feast!

The hardest thing is to get through the holidays without adding more padding around the middle!  Here are my secrets:

- A protein shake most mornings (not Thanksgiving day, we have brunch with the grandkids!)

- Exercise every day -- walk, play ball with the dog, go to the gym -- at least 45 minutes a day, plus some crunches and push-ups

- Make sure I get my vitamins/minerals/fish-oil

- Stop eating 3 hours before bed-time

- Only eat the really good stuff, not too much of the potatoes, bread, but definitely pumpkin pie!  Plus, lots of veggies and salad before I chow down on the rest.

- Get enough sleep -  I use Usana's Pure Rest, a super-pure melatonin from Switzerland, it really works!

- Drink water, all day long!

There, those are my secrets for getting through the holidays.
