Cruise Through The Holidays with FlyLady (Marla Cilley)

Flylady_toon Wow! What a fabulous program with FlyLady (Marla Cilley) earlier this week as part of the Sweeter Holiday Summit.
She brought her southern charm and humor to help us all get organized and “cruise” through the holidays—and beyond.
In this fabulous program, Marla talked about her own battle with her annual New Year’s Resolutions—which always failed—to get organized until she realized the battle was not with organization but with herself and her drive for perfection. And that theme—perfection—is something so many of us struggle with not just during the holidays but all year long.
Here are just a few of the highlights from our Sweeter Holiday Summit program:
* Discover how to “Crisis Clean” (cleaning with a purpose).
* Get the scoop on the importance of having a workable schedule to prevent overload.
* Find out which day FlyLady says is “Plan and Play Day” and why.
* Learn which day is “Anti-Procrastination Day” (and don’t we all need that).
* Find out what “Hit a lick at a snake” means!
To listen to the replay of this program until Sunday at 12 pm NOON, sign up at www.SweeterHoliday.com
When you sign up, you’ll also get a chance to listen to the fabulous programs with “The Ageless Sisters” Cynthia Rowland and Jackie Silver, self-esteem expert Dr. Joe Rubino and mind/body expert Mark Patrick, who will talk about how to keep those holiday pounds at bay.
Sign up now for your free pass to all these great speakers and the rest of the gurus over the coming weeks at www.SweeterHoliday.com.

Thanksgiving Triggers Many to Mindlessly Nosh or Overeat: 11 Tips to be Moderate

Thanksgiving is a time to give gratitude.
However, for millions of Americans, appreciation tends to take a back seat to high-calorie, sugar-filled foods, sweet drinks and alcoholic beverages.
Unfortunately, overeating on Thanksgiving is the norm for many.
What’s more, for many, that feast marks the beginning of a downhill battle for many people.
In fact, Thanksgiving is like the gateway meal (think gateway drug). You see, this late November feast serves as a trigger, which ushers in a a month-long time to Mindlessly Nosh or Overeat.
And that inevitably leads to weight gain for many.
Think about it: How many people do you know who do NOT overeat on Thanksgiving?
In fact, I dare you to find 10 close friends or relatives who don’t overeat at this meal. And make sure to let me know when you find them.
Rest assured, though, you don’t have to fall into the Thanksgiving pigging-out trap.
Here are 10 Tips to be Moderate on Thanksgiving so you can have a joyous, thankful holiday, not one where you begin a slide into weight gain, fatigue and fuzzinesss.
1. See Yourself the Morning After
One way to prevent Thanksgiving overeating and “sinning” — i.e., over indulging on) sweets, candied yams, pumpkin pie and stuffing — is to pretend that you’re talking to a friend or loved one the next day and openly sharing what happened at your feast. What would you say to this person? Would you be embarrassed? Would you be too mortified to tell her or him that you lost control? My clients find that having to honestly dish the dirt to a loved one can prevent them from overeating.
2. Do the Timed Breath, Blow-Out Technique
When you’re at a Thankgiving meal and sweets, carbs or other rich food “call out” to you, let your watch or cell phone guide you to slow down. Before you shove that second (or even first) serving of mashed potatoes or candied yams into your mouth:
* Check the time on your watch or cell phone. (If you have neither, ask someone else.)
* Then, whatever time it is, take that number of breaths — but do so slowly, deliberately and confidently, breathing in and out slowly.
* Example: So, it’s let’s say it’s 9 am. That means you’ll slowly, consciously take 9 deep breaths in and 9 breaths out.
* At the same time, visualize your breath just whooshing or blowing away your craving up into the skay. (You can pretend that you’re breathing away your cravings as if they were gentle clouds.) Expect that to occur. Now, watch your cravings go poof.
* If you’re still tempted and are close to pigging out, repeat the whole procedure again. (You’ll take another 9 breaths.)
* If that still doesn’t work and your cravings are really strong, then you can really buckle up. Take 9 breaths 9 times. (If it were 3 pm, then you’d do 3 breaths 3 times, etc.)
