1) Desserts are a killer at holiday meals. Don't over indulge - go for a fruit dish or try a bite or two of your favorite dessert. Don't avoid the desserts, but don't go overboard.
2) Stay active. Go for a hike or walk after a fresh snow fall. Play a fun game of flag football after a big Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone stresses out in December with final exams and prep for the holidays - a quick trip to the gym to blow off some steam will keep you motivated!
3) From spiked egg nog to champagne, the holiday season keeps the booze flowing at holiday parties. Same policy here as desserts - keep the drinking in moderation! Avoid the egg nog too - don't just drink it because it's in a cool-looking punch bowl. Unless you're a huge fan, just avoid the unnecessary calories and opt for a glass of white wine.
4) The days are shorter - don't bail on plans and get tired. It's depressing when the car headlights need to go on at 4 p.m., but take advantage of the short days by going to sleep and waking up earlier. If the winter blues are really getting to you, invest in a sun lamp. These are great and emit the same "feel good" vitamins as natural sunlight does.
5) Last, but not least - don't forget to relax and go on a little shopping bender! Online shopping is a big time saver, so take a study break and make a Christmas list. Here are a few things on my Christmas list for the fashionable athletic girl:
I still love the Juicy Couture tracksuit. Here's a new edition that works well over gym shorts and on its own to lounge around.

| Skinny Flare Velor w/ Drawstring |
I also like the new line from lululemon of silver luon products. The material is meant for a more intense work out.

| Challenge Pant |
I'll have to keep browsing for items to add to my Christmas list for the next post!
Happy Thanksgiving!
