The holiday season can be a pretty stressful and hectic time of the year. Between the holiday treats and all of the holiday activities and errands, it’s sometimes harder to eat healthy and maintain your fitness goals. There’s no reason to give up on your fitness goals during the holiday season. With a little planning, you can stay on track.
Have healthy snacks on hand.
When I’m out an about and get hungry I often end up eating fast food or unhealthy snacks. That I am making a conscious effort to always have healthy snacks on hand. Before leaving the house I make sure to take Optimum Nutrition Snacks with me or put them in my gym bag. And when we travel I always bring some along as well.
The Optimum Nutrition Snacks make it easy to snack healthier. I love that they are a great tasting ready-to-eat protein option.
It’s so convenient to pick up Optimum Nutrition Snacks at Walmart at an amazing everyday low price. And they have a great variety of options for every taste. The Protein Almonds come in either Dark Chocolate Truffle or Cinnamon Roll flavor. They have 2X the protein of regular coated almonds. The Protein Crisps have a delicious light crispy texture and come in Peanut Butter Crunch and Salted Toffee Pretzel.
The Protein Cake Bites are a great option for satisfying your sweet tooth while getting your protein too! With 20grams of protein, they come in lots of flavors, from Birthday Cake and Red Velvet to Chocolate Frosted Donut and Peanut Butter Chocolate.
Stay Active
A busy schedule might prevent you from hitting the gym as often as you would like so find other ways to stay active. To make it easier try to stick to a routine and make the best of your workout.
When you aren’t able to go to the gym make choices that keep you moving and on track to reach those fitness. When the weekend comes along I make sure that I combine exercise with spending time with my family by doing something together like hiking or walking the dog.
When we’re traveling I make sure to include activities that get me moving. A walking or biking tour is a great way to explore a new destination.

These are some amazing tips, it is amazing how easy it is to get carried away and just eat so much at christmas or just relax and do nothing for a while.
Great tips! Keeping active and having healthy snacks are so important to stay on track!
I love finding snacks like this. It’s so hard to stay away from sweets.
Glad to come across this post. I am working out 5 days a week and trying super hard to eat clean as I dont want my hard work gone to the drain if I dont eat clean. However, I have sweet tooth and like to munch on food every 3-4 hours. I eat about 5 meals a day. Having good snacks are so crucial. I like protein cake bite and hoping to get some from ON website.
It can be so hard this time of the year to stay on top of your goals. These are some really great tips.
The optium snacks look delicious! I try to eat a fair amount of protein as I think it gives me energy. It’s always a great idea to have snacks on hand, that is always my downfall when I am out and about and starving…. I end up eating junk. I wonder how many carbs are these snacks?
I love finding snacks that are healthy and filling and also satisfy my sweet tooth craving. thanks for sharing this. I’ve never tried but would definitely try it.
HEYY…those protein snacks look so delicious! I’m so bad at upkeeping fitness over the Holidays! Thanks for this post
It is so hard to stay on track sometimes during the holidays. The protein snacks look really good. I shouldn’t have an issue staying active because I have 5 kids. I do my best to stay on track by not overeating at all the special holiday get-togethers. These are great tips!
I love the protein bars very much! These are the great tips for keeping on track of our fitness during the holidays.
I have tried the protein bars before when it comes to boosting fitness. They haven’t worked too well for me. But I think it would be better if I were more consistent in my weightlifting. These do look delicious though.
The temptations are plentiful this time of year! It seems like there’s a cookie tray around every corner. Having a plan and healthy snacks on hand can be the saving grace.
I like to bring my protein bar whenever we go for a hike. Easy to carry on and its very healthy and tasty too.
