TREAT, DON’T FEAST

Being cold isn’t an excuse to fill up

on junk, but you can allow yourself

a yummy hot chocolate – just

make sure you savour it.

TRAIN AT HOME!

When you work out indoors, it

doesn’t matter if it’s raining or

cold outside.

DON’T BE SO HARD

ON YOURSELF...

You’re human and sometimes you’re not going to eat to

plan. That’s OK! Just reset and start fresh the next day.

DRINK UP

People often mistake thirst for hunger. Just

because the sun isn’t blaring down upon you

doesn’t mean hydration is any less important.

GET CRAFTY

Comfort food can stay if you make smart swaps. Try

a baked apple with honey and sultanas instead of that

apple pie, swap ice-cream for Greek yoghurt, or make

cauliflower ’n’ cheese instead of mac ’n’ cheese.

Before you succumb to those choc

brownies and bowls of alfredo

pasta, read fitness guru Tiffany
