Some tips just can't be repeated enough!
Stress is already knocking on my door and I'm finding it difficult to stay focused and on task. Anyone?
Stop. Breathe. Relax.
Take a minute to plan how the next month is going to look for you and be sure and write it down.
Prioritize.
Don't hesitate to put yourself first.
Create one goal for the month. Mine is to NOT GAIN WEIGHT. Feel free to copy that.
Eat a variety of colors daily.
Sleep at least seven hours nightly.
Exercise daily-at least five minutes, four times a day if you can't fit in a full session.
Yes! That is 7 days a week, every week!
The most important tip I can off is to give yourself a break if things don't go perfectly. Tomorrow will be here soon enough and you can try it all over again.

Fit Tip
My favorite tip is the one you already know, you just refuse to utilize! As Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and Christmas not so far behind, be cognisant of all the tips of holidays past...
As soon as you enter the party, grab a drink (water, tea, spritzer is best)! One hand for extending, the other for holding a glass.
Use a small plate when grazing as well as dining.
Save space on your plate for the favorite items you dismiss all year; have a sample of all-time faves and skip the chips and salsa, ranch dip, etc.
Eat! Don't deprive yourself of a taste of dressing, hot rolls, sweet potato casserole, pie, whatever rocks your world on the holidays.
Don't skip meals; "saving up calories" just leads to overeating. Have a reasonable breakfast consisting of protein and good carbs. So I repeat, Eat!
It wouldn't be a fit tip if I didn't talk exercise, so on Thanksgiving and all the weeks to follow, keep in mind that some is better than none! My wish is that everyone would hit it over the long weekend, but reality often presents itself differently. Consider a walk around the block with that friend or relative you've been meaning to chat with. What a great way to burn some calories and fuel the love!
Most importantly, keep it all in check!

Fit Tip
No body's Perfect!
Missed your workout yesterday? Overate at the company dinner? Drank too much watching the Texans?
Just remember to get back on track as soon as possible. Don't stress out! This is life so roll with it.If you're tempted to skip a workout just because your week isn't going as planned, tell yourself you'll feel better when its over! You so will.

Fit Tip
So I've already got the holiday blues! How can it be November 1 (and by the by, I witnessed this happening in late October) and Christmas decorations already dispersed on the streets and in the shops? Ugh.
Well, if its good enough for retailers, then its good enough for me...! Start preparing your holiday fitness plans.
At this point, I would assume its already happening. You've either got a whole ton of leftover candy in your decorative Halloween bowl, you've pilfered candy from your kids' bags, the office is stocked with (see above)...and the parties for future events are on the calendar in orange, red and green.
Travel plans? Booked. Thanksgiving recipes bookmarked. Christmas shopping? Lists being made. Sales promotions? Dog-eared the desired outfit for office party, with must-have boots.
Now, the tip. PLAN YOUR EATING and EXERCISE SCHEDULE NOW! Do not, do not, do not, wait until the week of Thanksgiving to "get in shape" and absolutely do not wait to think about what and how you are going to eat.
Put it in ink, share it with a friend, coworker, partner, a trainer. Make 2012 your year to feel great and bonus, look great throughout the holidays and into the New Year.

Imagine a year you don't have to launch with beginning a fitness routine.
We love 2013
