If you went a little wild with the pumpkin pie yesterday, don't worry about it. All of the efforts you've made to eat healthfully and exercise won't be undone with one food-frenzied holiday. Just get right back on the bandwagon and do a little Thanksgiving damage control.If you're lucky enough to have the day after Thanksgiving off from work, then you have plenty of opportunities for fitness. Some ideas:
- Family time. The holidays are all about family, right? Well, yesterday it might have been more about food, but today you can let it be about active family time. Go for a walk or a bike ride. If it's chilly where you live, visit your community center for a game of basketball or a swim in the pool.
- Go solo. For some people, too much time with their family is just too much. If that sounds like you, then use exercise as a time to escape. Lace up your running shoes, turn on your iPod and hit the pavement. Some time alone with just the sidewalk and your favorite tunes will melt away any holiday stress while burning those Thanksgiving calories.
