Hi, friends!  Not a ton to report on this weekend, it was mostly low key at home.  I worked out on Saturday at home and then Sunday went on a 5 mile terrible, hot run that made me terrified for my half coming up next weekend.

On the docket today?  Heading to an early workout so I can get my cooking/blog photo on all morning.  I’ve got a pie and stuffing to make!  Plus a butternut squash feta egg white quiche to photograph so I can eat for breakfast!  So, since it was not that exciting weekend and it will be a busy day, let’s jump right into this week’s healthy habit challenge!

This week I’m challenging you to decide what the most important habits are for the holiday season, go back through the list and decide what will help you stay on track the most.  For me, I’m still working on gratitude journaling but to keep my diet rocking throughout the holidays here is what works best for me:

1.  Water – we just ordered a BUNCH of true lemon packets so that will help me a lot, I’ve also been getting La Croix from Costco.
2.  Protein and produce at all meals.  Planning helps with this a lot!  This week I’ll pretty much be eating the same thing all week which makes life easier! Some people hate eating the same thing all week, but for us, we love that we have zero stress.
   1. Breakfast – Made a butternut squash feta egg white quiche.
   2. Lunch – Tuna mixed with hummus or avocado, side of baby carrots and plantain chips
   3. Dinner – Salmon, roasted broccoli or brussel sprouts, brown rice (Seeds of Change sent me a few packets as part of my Blog Brulee trip, but I’ve bought them at Costco before.)  – Side note, I think having a healthy carb at dinner REALLY cuts down my sugar cravings after dinner.
   4. Snacks – veggies and hummus, protein shakes, iced coffees
3. Limit sugar and alcohol intake.  I’m all about having a cookie or piece of pie, but I don’t need to be having dessert every night.

What are your goals? What do you focus on to help you stay on track?   Make sure to write them down so you are more likely to remember them!  Remember the holidays can be a time to enjoy and a time to engrain all your healthy habits you have been practicing!
