Awesome job to each and every one of you! You have kicked butt in classes and we are all super proud of your dedication!
In case you didn’t know, Canton Club is hosting a happy hour this Friday, the 16th from 4-8pm at Blue Hill Tavern. If you think it is impossible to join the fun AND stay on track diet-wise, think again! As Rachel S pointed out earlier (shout out!), it IS entirely possible to have a good time without feeling totally deprived! Here are some tips:
Steer CLEAR
* When choosing mixers, opt for clear things like soda water over sugary things like Coke. Try adding a splash of cranberry and/or a twist of lime!
* Drink a glass of water and try eating something fibrous, like a small salad, for every alcoholic drink you have
* Stick with clear liquors over high calorie liquors
Don’t Deprive Yourself
* If you choose something calorie-laden, split it with a friend. Savor each bite and focus on it – don’t just gulp it down!
Do Some Recon
* Most restaurants post their menus online. Browse it BEFORE your event and pick out some healthy choices. You’ll have a game plan and will be less tempted to choose something you’ll regret later
Don’t forget: there are a lot of great classes offered on Friday! Get your workout in BEFORE you go out and you’ll be able to enjoy yourself that much more!
** Please, please, please do not drink and drive! Hail a cab, call a sober friend, or even hoof it home! **

i will be there
ReplyDeleteI support this all. I may be there assuming I don't hangout w/ my friend and her 3 year old. I don't think Blu Hill is a good place for a child.
ReplyDeleteI am so PISSED!!! I left work ate and got ready for extreme cardio flex at 7PM...then I remembered it started at 6:30 :<
ReplyDeleteSo I am gonna go run with Pie instead.
Beer/Vodka + Rachael = Pizza
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go to HH and enjoy a diet coke... maybe a glass of red wine...
Hope to see everyone there!
ReplyDeleteRachel S - I hope you don't have to babysit!
Heath - go you and Rhonda for running in the rain!
Rachel L - I will totally get you a DCoke (will be totally mad if its Pepsi) and/or a glass of red wine!
