Holidays. We love 'em. We hate 'em. They're a wonderful time to be with family and friends but they truly can be diet wreckers!
I'll admit it. I fell off the wagon this week. I had the double whammy of dirt destroyers. Not only was it July 4th, I was on vacation! It wasn't so much the quality or even the quantity of food I had. My problem was more of the liquid persuasion. I like to have cocktails with friend while I'm at the Shore. That, needless to say, can be a real problem for most folks.
Some tips: avoid juices for mixers. Cranberry juice, although wonderful in a Cosmo, has more sugar ounce for ounce than orange juice. Stick with one type of liquor. Don't try too many different kinds of drink. Stick with what you know. If you can manage it, limit yourself.
No doubt this week will definitely have an adverse effect on the rest of this month for me but I'd rather enjoy my holidays and make up for it later than be miserable.
