Sunday Funday: Healthy Tips for Game Day

Fall is around the corner and one thing that means is

SUNDAY FUNDAY

is back!

 

 Sunday Funday for me used to mean just another excuse to drink, eat crap, and have a hangover Monday morning lol.



I love YOU though CC and this was a damn good time haha

So in celebration of today being officially Week 1 of football, I figured I would share with  you some tips on how to make it a healthy game day.

 

Healthy Tips for Game Day

1. Opt for healthy burger toppings like avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Choose mustard over ketchup. And consider ditching the cheese. {Don't hate me for suggesting the cheese!}

2. Use your grill while you still can, and put some chicken and veggies on  there.

3. For a crispy/fry like side try making your own sweet potato fries or sweet potato cubes. So good.

4. Put some clean turkey chili in the crock pot or cilantro lime chicken for wraps.

5. Make a veggie tray with hummus or homemade clean ranch dip. At my sons party I only used cucumbers, carrots and broccoli because those seem to be the most favorite (and are inexpensive!)

6. Watch your portions. Its so easy to pick, pick, pick and before you know it you've consumed 2000 calories.

7. Check Pinterest for healthy alternatives for your usual game day food. Find healthy versions of dips, wings and pizza like these quinoa pizza bites.

7. If you are going to have drink(s), stay away from sugary drinks like margaritas and heavy beers (and strawbeeritas - they are hangovers in a little delicious can). Try a light beer or wine spritzer. And always have a glass of water in between each drink. I like to do half La Croix sparkling water with half of a Skinny Girl cocktail. And don't forget you have work Monday morning ;)
{PS if you end up with a hangover, Shakeology is an awesome cure!}

And my most important tip! Pick the right team! GO GIANTS!

SIDE NOTE:

If you need help getting and staying on track this fall, I have a 21 Day Fix challenge group starting. Sure I may have some cheats on football Sundays, but I will be working out and eating clean 80% of the time. I know that I'm a happier mom, partner and person in general when I'm doing my best and feeling my best.
There is limited space in the group, so don't hesitate to commit to your after picture!!! You deserve to be the best YOU. Create your happiness.
