One of the more difficult sides of Thanksgiving is when you are not in charge of the menu. This may feel like you are at the mercy of whatever food the hostess provides for your Thanksgiving meal. Guess what? You aren't, the good news is you are still in charge of what you put on your plate and there are a few ways you can make sure you are not compromising your habits while also enjoying your Thanksgiving Feast. A few ways you can avoid throwing your hard work out the door are drinking a whole glass of water before you sit down for your meal, or be in charge of bringing the veggies. Be the person who brings health to the table.

On top of enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving Meal with friends and family, there are ways to stay active and have fun with family. Being active doesn't just mean making sure you get your workout in, it can be so much more and be something the entire family can do together. For example, the State Parks of California are free on Black Friday, go some place new and explore with family. What better way to give thanks for your health than by giving it some love by being active!
