Don't fall off of your routine. Taking so long to get your routine down for success should not be tainted with the itis or better known as the slump over full feeling with eating all of the excellent food coming and intended as always each holiday year. Staying active keeps the other extra pounds off and reduces the bloat that occurs with all that good food.

Choose Smaller Portions

So with staying active, a best practice, to begin with, is by choosing smaller portions of your good food. Better options to select smaller portions is a great way to keep those calories down. Picking a smaller portion will still allow you to get the taste of your favorite dish without all of the extra calories

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper?
