[FREE GUIDE] Your Holiday Party Survival Guide

Uncategorised

1 Dec

This post is a module from my recent holiday edition of my 5 Day Sugar Free Challenge that I thought you would find very valuable as we roll into the holidays. I want to help you navigate the holiday party with ease and where you’re not going to squash your weight loss goals.

Now, let me be real here: my platform is not about restriction. That means, I truly believe that you can enjoy yourself without restriction. At the same time, I don’t want you to set yourself too far back that you lose sight on your ultimate goal which may be weight loss, changing your relationship with carbs or just simply making better food choices.

If you know that I have a work event or an outing with friends that may involve drinks, then I recommend a few things:

1. Leading up to the event, eat as clean as you can. This means eating ample vegetables, and moderate amounts of healthy fats and protein. These key ingredients will help to stabilize blood sugar making you less likely to binge eat at the holiday buffet.

2. If you’re having a few adult drinks, try to balance that out with better food choices (which I’ll show you in the guide). But, listen, if there’s fresh pasta on the menu and nothing else, then you do what you have to do and focus on the next step (#3).

3. The following morning after an event/outing, drink some water with lemon or raw apple cider vinegar to help cleanse the system. Then ensure that you eat a protein-based breakfast and lunch with plenty of vegetables to balance out blood sugar.

I’ve outlined how to survive the holiday party for you in the guide below during this holiday season and beyond.

Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?! Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?!

Save this for the days when your protein goal is looking a little… ambitious. 👀

I was listening to a podcast recently talking abou I was listening to a podcast recently talking about why women in the 40’s and beyond need to stop thinking they need to be smaller. But rather thinking about something strength to carry them through the next phase of life.

Then, almost immediately, I overheard a woman talking about how frustrated she was because the scale wasn’t moving—if anything, it was going up.

And honestly? I get it.

I still catch myself getting wrapped up in the number sometimes.

But what I’ve learned is that when I follow a solid plan, fuel my body properly and consistently strength train, I get stronger. I sleep better. My energy is higher. And, truthfully, I really like the shape of my stronger body.

Maybe the goal isn’t to keep chasing a smaller version of ourselves.

Maybe it’s to build a body that can carry us through the next 40 years feeling strong, energized and confident.

And yes, we can still want to look our best. We just don’t have to make smaller the definition of better.

Who’s coming to this side with me?

Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕 Okay… I Trying the viral HB high-protein pizza 🍕

Okay… I get the hype. An easy way to add more protein while still enjoying pizza.

For the crust:
• ¼ cup cottage cheese
• ⅓ cup egg whites
• ⅓ cup flour
• 1½ tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• Pinch of salt

How to make it:

1. Mix all the crust ingredients together until combined.
2. Spread onto parchment paper into a thin, even crust.
3. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
4. Remove and add your pizza sauce, cheese and favourite toppings.
5. Bake for another 10+ minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through.

🍕 Nutritionist verdict: Easy, high-protein and actually feels like pizza. No sad “diet food” vibes here.

Save this for your next pizza night!

5 things I wish I knew when I started strength tra 5 things I wish I knew when I started strength training at 40:

1️⃣ Follow a plan. This is key to see results.
2️⃣ Progressive overload > randomly lifting heavy.
3️⃣ Eat after your workout — protein + carbs.
4️⃣ Recovery is part of the workout. I take 2-3 “active” rest days. 
5️⃣ Consistency. If you’re just starting out, start with 2 days & master that!

Your 40s are a pretty great time to start building the strongest version of you.
