"Thanksgiving is for being grateful, hanging with family, and ... eating, of course! So how to enjoy the feast without a ton of regret? We love these tips from our favorite health and fitness bloggers... Live it up, a little! &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;d say my best tip for the holidays is: Don&amp;#x27;t be afraid to indulge--one day a year won&amp;#x27;t kill you--but don&amp;#x27;t indulge just because it&amp;#x27;s there. It&amp;#x27;s so easy to eat mindlessly during the holidays and eat tons of extra calories on things you don&amp;#x27;t care about just because they are there. Think about what&amp;#x27;s worth indulging in for you!&amp;quot; --Theodora Blachfield, blogger at Losing Weight in the City Give yourself a pep-talk: &amp;quot;Make sure 3/4 of your plate is healthy, and then load up that last 1/4 with whatever your heart desires! Pre-set a &amp;#x27;no seconds&amp;#x27; rule, too. Savor your plate of food and don&amp;#x27;t reach for seconds (unless it&amp;#x27;s the carrots). Nobody is saying it&amp;amp;#8217;ll be easy, but I am saying it&amp;#x27;ll be worth it. And then bite your lip, close your eyes, and just say these five words, &amp;quot;small slice of pie please,&amp;quot; and then\uFFFD?really enjoy\uFFFD?that\uFFFD?one slice of pie,\uFFFD?no seconds.&amp;quot; --Elizabeth Morris, blogger at One Twenty Five Health-ify your fave recipes: &amp;quot;Instead of loading up your mashed potatoes with cream and butter, use roasted garlic instead! Simmer peeled garlic cloves in a layer of olive oil on the stove top. Once they&amp;#x27;re soft enough to mash up with a fork, just add them to your taters and mash away! They provide a rich creaminess and flavor with far less fat and calories than the traditionally prepared dish.&amp;quot; --Gretchen Powell, blogger at Honey I Shrunk Gretchen Focus on the people, not the food: &amp;quot;Focus on your family and the social aspect of Thanksgiving, rather than just the food. But, also realize that one day won&amp;#x27;t derail your whole diet, so if you overdo it, start back up with your healthy habits the next day!&amp;quot;\uFFFD?--Beth Klein, blogger at Beth&amp;#x27;s Journey My advice? Go on a morning jog! Yes, the turkey trot is great and all but who really wants to go out and run or walk after a heavy meal? Honestly? Not me (although I admire those who do this every year!). That&amp;#x27;s why running (or walking, or biking--whatever you like!) before is so great. Do something active in the morning, and you can feel better about treating yourself a little in the afternoon. And, bonus, by starting your day active, you will burn more calories throughout the day!
