The most important thing is to be realistic and go easy on yourself. You aren't always in charge of your schedule during the holidays so you can only do your best. Remind yourself that you can get back to your routine when you're back home.

Only 1 wellness tip left. Come back at 2pm to finish the 12 days of wellness.

Rally up the Family: Instead of following the tradition of playing cards after dinner, get everybody together for a game that involves moving around. If you or your family owns a Wii, this would be perfect!

Or if the 9 ladies dancing are really looking for a treat, they should try ZUMBA!!

Reduce the fat in holiday recipes. There are plenty of low fat and low calorie substitutes that are amazingly tasty. Try using applesauce in place of oil in your favorite holiday breads; use egg substitutes in place of whole eggs; try plain nonfat yogurt in place of sour cream. Magazines are full of reduced calorie and reduced fat holiday recipes. Give them a try, and share your cooking creations with friends and family.

Make just one trip to the party buffet. Choose only the foods you really want to eat and keep portions small. Often just a taste satisfies a food craving or curiosity. Also, move your socializing away from the buffet table to eliminate unconscious nibbling.

Take the edge off your hunger before a party. Feeling hungry can sabotage even the strongest willpower, so eat a small, low-fat snack such as fruit or low-fat cheese before you head out the door. This will help you avoid rushing to the buffet table when you arrive.

The 12 Days of Wellness Tips are brought to you by Linda Crowley, Dietitian/Nutritionist, & Allison Eisele, Wellness Coordinator, at the Guilderland YMCA.
