Social Survival: 3 Easy Healthy Party Tips

Whether you’re at a holiday party, summer BBQ or on the road, take these 3 healthy party tips along with you to stay healthy, hydrated and still have some fun.

1) Load up on the greens!

Start each meal with veggies, snack on raw veggie sticks, or any of the vegetable-heavy dish. This will help keep you full, hydrated and energized.

Plus, if you’re trying to control your macros, the simple action of chewing raw vegetables takes longer than it does eating most calorie-dense foods.

Just remember to keep your eye out for organic produce and quality meats, especially the dirty dozen. Read: When Should You Choose Organic?  to learn more about the dirty dozen, clean fifteen and figuring out all those confusing labels.

2) Drink plenty of H2O!

Especially if you’re outside, drinking alcohol or getting active, you’ll need even more water than usual.

Having a hard time fitting in all water?

  • Start your day off with a large glass water. Before coffee. Before breakfast. Before you even brush your teeth.
  • Make some herbal or green tea the night before and then chill it for a refreshing midday drink.
  • Whip up a mocktail. Make some fruit-infused water with berries, oranges, lemons, limes, or even cucumbers. Add sparkling water and mint to make it really fancy.

Not sure how much water you need in the first place? Read: How Much Water Should I Drink?  for more tips on hydration.

3) Be mindful and relax!

If there’s a sweet treat or certain drink that you really love, enjoy it, but do so in a relaxed (not guilty) state.

Take a moment to taste every flavor and chew slowly.

The simple act of slowing down will help you get more in tune with your hunger levels as well.

Be mindful about your choices, rather than  mindlessly picking while you’re chatting. Read: Mindful Eating  for more tips on slowing down while you’re eating.

Dive into the journey of Tina and Jay, a couple whose lives have been profoundly transformed by their experiences at CrossFit Salus. From the initial rush to get wedding-ready to navigating the challenges of parenthood, their story is a testament to the power of a supportive fitness community.  Witness how they’ve overcome obstacles, celebrated triumphs, and found a second family among both OG and new members alike. Through ups and downs, CrossFit Salus has been their constant, offering more than just workouts but a place where they feel at home. We’re incredibly fortunate to have the Schacks as a vital part of the Salus community. Just hear what our coaches have to say: “From the moment I saw Christina tackling wall balls in her wedding veil, I knew she was something special. Both her and Jay’s dedication and spirit (not to mention, Jay’s amazing overhead mobility!) have been an inspiration to us all from day one. We’re truly blessed to have the Schacks as part of our CrossFit Salus family.” ~Coach Angela “Jay and Christina are the perfect example of two parents who work hard to balance health while managing a busy family. They have been fixtures in my 8:30 class since I started coaching, coordinating schedules to make CrossFit a crucial part of their day. Christina is always a cheerful presence who comes with a positive mindset, aimed at improving as an athlete no matter what the workout. Jay comes with a quiet focus during class, putting to excellent use his mobility and amazing strength, while always receptive to coaching cues.” ~Coach Erin “Both athletes are always open to constructive feedback but what impresses me the most is that both Jay and Christina work within their limits prioritizing technique over the RX button. They both understand the intended stimulus of the WOD which is their primary goal. Oh, and don’t let them fool you with their kind, sweet demeanor….they are strong AF!!!” ~Coach Scott Meet the Schacks, Athletes of the Month: February 2024
