"Around the holidays, I definitely try to save my calories for the main event, but there's no way that I can run around cooking all day without some sustenance. I usually try to have a healthy breakfast (this usually means eggs), and then snack on things like cheese and crackers or hummus with crudités to tide me over. Once the food is on the table, I try to focus on things like the turkey, veggies, and cranberry sauce, rather than heavy mashed potatoes or gravy. When it comes to fitness, the thing that's saved me for the past couple of years is the Family Fun Run, which basically involves my sisters-in-law running me around town in preparation for our feast (their idea of fun, not mine!). Painful, but it makes for great bonding, and I can enjoy my food guilt-free!"
