	"HOLIDAY" EATING CHALLENGE RUNS NOVEMBER 17-DECEMBER 29
	Did you know the average American gains anywhere from 1-5 pounds during the holidays? This challenge encourages you to maintain healthy behaviors that support weight management during the holiday season. Eating a healthy breakfast (versus leftover pie!), getting even just a little physical exercise, and getting in your fruits and veggies will go a long way toward maintaining your weight. In addition, you'd benefit by limiting alcohol consumption, not waiting until you're ravenous to eat, and limiting your dessert indulgences to one per day. Log 150 points in 6 weeks to earn 15 Body credits. "HOLIDAY" EATING CHALLENGE INSTRUCTIONS
