Summertime nutrition

Ladies,
Summertime nutrition is always difficult-I mean, we've got loads of parties, bbq's and, well, Kimball's and Sully's to tempt us!
How can we stay on track when these treats call our names AND the nice weather lulls us into thinking we 'cannot' make it to class???!!???
Well, let's break it down:
-When attending a party or bbq, don't get 'starving'...simply eat as normal for the day and you won't be ravenous when you arrive and dive right into the dip, chips and other appetizers.
-Carry a bottle of water with you everywhere! Water makes you feel a bit full and will keep you from snacking all day.
-When you're out running around with the kids DO pack some healthy snacks for you and them! Nuts are easy to carry and don't need refrigeration or choose fruit or veggies, but bring a small cooler. (Some of you probably have minivans or SUVs with built in coolers already!)
-Going to the beach? Does that mean you HAVE to eat hot dogs or burgers from the snack shack? Uh, no. Pack a bag lunch and save money and calories!
Do these tips mean you should avoid those fried clams and ice cream all summer long? Heck no! Get to class at least 2-3 times per week (even if you come more in the Fall/Winter), walk, bike ride and have those treats without showing them on your waistline! (And remember, we still have 30 classes a week running, so even if you can't make your favorite class, check the website for a class you CAN attend!)
Then, in the Fall when it's time for dungarees (jeans) and cords...you'll slip into those clothes and find them TOO big!
Have a great day and see you in class!
