As you’re busy with your studies, the weeks during the Spring Festival can be a time when training and healthy eating plans go out of the window. But you can continue running and avoid weight gain during the holiday season. 1.
Pick a race
Having a race on your calendar is a motivation to keep running during the holiday. 2.Check our active.com or Running in the city for events near you.
Don’t skip breakfast
If you’re going to a holiday party in the evening, don’t make the mistake of skipping breakfast. You may think you’re saving calories for later. 3.
Bring your own healthy dishes
Chances are that most of the dishes at holiday gatherings are going be high in taste and calories. Bring your own healthy appetizers to the party. The host will appreciate it, and you know where will be at least one wise choice on the buffet table.
4.
If you are heading to an evening event, eat regular meals and snacks every few hours until party time. You won’t arrive at the party ready to attack appetizers. Make sure you include fiber at each meal because it keeps you full longer.
Plan your runs
It’s easy to say that you’ll keep running regularly during the holiday season, but sticking to it requires a strategy. Schedule your runs like appointments, so you make them the first thing during a busy week. 5.
A. Treat yourself
B. Eat small meals
C. Try some or all of these strategies.
D. In fact, it may lead to overeating later in the day.
E. Buy yourself a gift of some new running shoes and clothes.
F. If you have runs scheduled, you are more likely to get them done.
G. Once you choose one that is in a few weeks, set a plan and stick to it.
In ancient Egypt,the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace,if he brought good news. However,if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news,his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door,picnic basket in hand,a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said,“Oh boy,bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report,for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter,the sales agent said with a broad smile,“Oh,that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time,and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know,when delivering any bad news,they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately,many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight,has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet?When you had your heart set on the toast beef,has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece?It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy,I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left,I probably would have said,“Oh,that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners,when they bear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it,but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone,but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance(保证)that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return;but if it does not,be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one's appearance;it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth;even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trials(考验)to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy. The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry,those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.
When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
