Q. Are there any ways of estimating
how much is a normal portion when
eating a holiday feast?
To be accurate, people can use a mea-
suring cup, but that usually will not
happen when sitting down at a won-
derful feast. Instead of heaping scoops
of the feast, it would be wise to make
the scoops smaller.
Usually, there are many side dish-
es and then a main dish. Limit your-
self to small portions. MODERATION
IS THE KEY. Why stuff yourself?
We all know how uncomfortable that
can feel.
Q. Christmas time is known for its
sweets. Do you have any suggestions
on how to control the urge?
It is a challenge to control the urge to
eat sweets, especially when they are
around you. The key is to allow your-
self to eat sweets but in moderation.
Instead of having four cookies, try to
eat two.

Q. Is there a time of day when it is
worst to eat?
It is important to eat breakfast, lunch,
dinner and a few small snacks. Many
people over do it during the holidays.
Snacking throughout the day and late
in the evening can have a large impact
on weight gain. Many people do not
realize how those many snacks, sweets
or late night munchies can add up in
calories.

ing Student Awards and Pinning Ceremony
Reception for graduates in the SSTU caf-
eteria dining room 6-9:30 p.m. For more
information, call Marita Prince at 817-515-

Q. What are good ways of working
out with all the cold weather?
Students at TCC can utilize the gym-
nasium for the fall semester working
out Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-lO p.m.,
Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday 9
a.m.-3 p.m.
There are many activities students
can do inside including basketball,
volleyball, weight lifting and cardio
machines.
With the cold weather, if someone
is interested in going outside, wear-
ing the proper clothing is important.
Many individuals overdress in the cold
weather, causing overheating. A hat,
gloves, long-sleeved shirt and long ath-
letic pants will usually be just enough
to go outside in the cold. Also some of
the malls open early for walkers. The
stores are not open, so there is not the
shopping traffic.
Even though many people don’t
drink as much water during the winter,
it is still important to hydrate your-
self after exercise even during the cold
months of the year. Everyone should
have anywhere from eight to 16 cups
of water a day.
Dec. 7 South Campus will host its annual
Tarrant County College Donor Holiday Re-
ception 10 a.m.-11 a.m. in the Forum Room
(SSTU 2207). The event celebrates the ac-
complishments of students who have been
awarded scholarships through the College
Foundation.

Q. Are there any ways of still enjoy-
ing the holiday food without eating
the wrong stuff or overeating?
Everyone should enjoy the holidays.
It is a time with family and friends.
It is also a time where there is plenty
of food and sweets to eat. There are
going to be choices in foods that are
not so great for our bodies. People
have to realize it is OK to eat them
but in moderation. Allow yourself
that cheesecake, but one small slice is
enough. Drink plenty of water also.
Sodas and the many sugar type drinks
out there just add many extra empty
calories.
