Smart Swap of the Week: This week, swap eating out of a package for eating directly from a plate or bowl. This will help you control your portion and avoid over-eating.
The Yoplait Official SWAP Coach, Christina Meyer-Jax has the SWAP Coach Tip of the Week:
Are you a condiments-queen? T
his week, swap mayo on a sandwich for avocado. You’ll still get the satisfaction of rich flavor and creamy texture, but with the bonus of those good monounsaturated fats. Meaning that green avocado works wonders for your skin as well as your diet. mash up about 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado (depending on the size of the avocado) and spread it on the bread. Yummy!!!
Also an easy exercise swap. If you are hitting the malls for holiday shopping, skip the elevators and the escalators whenever possible and use the stairs. If you have time to shop early in the day or during dinner time at the mall, try speed-walking from store to store but map it out so that you alternate the store locations to opposite ends of the mall so that you can maximum walking time and distance. The dodging of other people actually improves your agility and if you pull in abs and glutes will improve those too.
