Holiday Survival Checklist

Back to More Melanie's Moments Posts
The holidays are here and we all know how hard it can be to stay on track with our fitness goals. Cancer Partners’ Registered Dietitian, Melanie Mitchell, compiled this list to help. Use this checklist as a guide to try something new for each day in December! 

1: Get 30 minutes of brisk walking (maybe while shopping)
2: Do 2 sets of planks for 30 seconds (if safe to do)
3: Have a vegetable with all 3 meals (hint: you can add spinach to ANYTHING)
4: Start your morning with deep breathing and stretching for 5-10 minutes
5: Try a new food
6: Take the stairs…all day…no elevators (if safe to do) or attend a Cancer Partners’ Healthy Steps class
7: Fruity Day! Fruit for snacks today!
8: Do something active with a friend or family member
9: Try a new meatless recipe
10: Start your day with breakfast- sitting for 5 minutes…not on the run

If you are a patient and have questions about your diet, please ask your oncologist at your next appointment about receiving a complimentary nutritional session with Melanie Mitchell, Cancer Partners’ Registered Dietitian.
