Feel lean for Christmas Parties

Every woman, and most men can relate when I talk about the "muffin top". It sucks when you have a party to go to and you're feeling kind of lumpy and loose.

So, over the years I've figured out a plan that works for me.

For at least three to fours days before the big event exfoliate your skin and start putting on a self tanner. This will give you great color, and make you feel better.

The day before you go to the party drink tons of water, eat very few carbs, and do lots of cardio and abs. The day of the party, do NOT starve yourself to feel thin. As soon as you eat and have a drink...BAM...the muffin is back! So, eat mini meals.

Start off with a bowl of oatmeal, have a piece of fruit for snack, get in a long walk or run, have a salad for lunch, and a piece of fruit or some veggies for a snack. Again, drink tons of water and add in a couple mugs of green tea.

If you're feeling extra fancy, buy some body powder with a sparkle and shade in your best areas. The shimmer leads the eye to the places you want people to look. So, if you have great shoulders, add some sparkle to them! You get the idea.

Let the preparations begin!
