Copyright © 2009 Peel, Inc. Twin Creeks Homeowner's Association Newsletter - December 2009 Official Publication of the Twin Creeks Homeowner's Association December 2009 Volume 2, Issue 12 Twin Creeks TRIBUNE Immediately after Halloween, people begin to focus on holiday shopping, decorating, baking and parties, parties, parties! Between office parties, happy hours, school functions for the kids, in-store food samples and large family gatherings, it is not surprising that the average American gains anywhere from two to seven pounds (or more!) between Thanksgiving and New Years! This year, you don’t have to wait until you make your 2010 New Year’s resolutions to make some changes. Here are some helpful tips to help you avoid packing on the pounds this holiday season: • You don’t have to go to every party or dinner! • Don’t show up to a party hungry • Size up the buffet before you grab a plate • Decide what you really want to eat ahead of time • Limit yourself to one trip to the buffet • Fill your plate three-quarters full with fruits and veggies first • Limit your alcohol intake • Don’t stand near the buffet table • Eat with your non-dominant hand • Chew gum when not eating • Dance, talk and socialize—it’s not all about the food! The small appetizers typically served at parties are packed with a lot of calories. Here are some examples of popular party foods, the amount of calories they contain, and how much activity would be needed to burn off those calories: • Two hot chicken wings with two tablespoons of blue cheese dressing contain 550 calories, and it would take a 150 pound person over two hours of vigorous housework to work off those calories. • One-half of a cup of mixed nuts contains 400 calories, and it would take a 150 pound person over one-and-a-half hours of walking to burn off those calories. • One ounce of cheese served with one ounce of crackers contains 225 calories and it would take a 150 pound person almost 45 minutes of fast dancing to burn off those calories. Have a Healthy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year! By Tarie Beldin There are some healthier options that you should choose or serve on a buffet line at your next holiday party: • Boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce • Bruschetta (tomato appetizer served with small pieces of toasted bread) • Rather than the standard carrot and celery sticks, try an Asian theme with baby corn, snow peas and red pepper slices served with low-fat sesame or ginger dressing. • Another option is to replace the standard chips and salsa with a mix of corn, black beans and salsa scooped inside of a bell pepper half. • For a tasty dessert, make an eggnog flavored dip to serve with fruit, angel food cake or small gingerbread cookies. In addition to choosing healthier options, try to eat normally throughout the day. Don’t try to starve yourself to “save up” calories before a party or dinner. Also, be sure to exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Most importantly, put the emphasis on spending time with family and friends, not on the food! Thinking of giving cookies, fudge or a box of chocolates as a holiday gift?This year, try to give your family, friends and co-workers a healthier gift, such as a cookbook with quick and healthy recipes, sign them up for a cooking class or fill a recipe box with some of your own healthy recipes. You can also give gifts that encourage outdoor activity. Purchase pedometers, compasses or other gear that will encourage those you care about to be outside and active, they’ll thank you later!
