Green Mountain’s Holiday HelpingsTM
November 15– December 19, 2009

Take advantage of End-of-Year Savings to enjoy your holidays feeling great!

Slow down, de-stress and begin the holidays feeling great!

Do you find the holidays more demanding than fulfilling? Are you looking for help in preventing holiday weight gain? Let us help you truly enjoy this special time of year, with your healthy lifestyle intact.

Beginning November 16, as part of our renowned healthy lifestyle program, Green Mountain will feature Holiday Helpings sessions designed to help you have happy holidays without the weight gain.

  • Slow down, restart, refresh, renew…just in time to make the most of the coming season.
  • Identify and develop strategies to manage your personal holiday challenges and help prevent holiday weight gain.

Holiday Helpings Highlights

  • Develop holiday eating strategies that leave you fulfilled, not overfilled.
    • Learn how to healthy up your favorite holiday recipes. Or if you want to enjoy them as you’ve always known them, learn how to fit them into a balanced healthy eating plan. Be sure to bring your recipes and cookbooks with you!
    • Build your holiday ‘mise en place.’ This cooking term means ‘everything in its place’ and can be applied to planning how to simplify and navigate your holidays with supportive eating strategies and tips for managing parties and every day meals and preventing holiday weight gain.
  • Practice fitness strategies to keep you moving in the midst of hectic holiday schedules.
    • Get moving with fun activities such as pumpkin bowling and snow kickboxing and snowshoeing (if there’s snow).
    • Refresh and relax with daily yoga, rejuvenation stretch, Tai Chi and Zumba dance.
    • Brainstorm, then practice your holiday fitness routine to make it easier to keep going when you return home.
  • Build coping strategies that help you deal with other issues that make the holidays stressful for you -- time pressure, money, gift-giving, travel to family gatherings, seeing (or not seeing) family members, etc.
    • Learn how to respond to well-meaning but uninformed comments and expectations about how you ‘should’ eat, exercise or otherwise be in regard to your body size.
