Still feeling stuffed? I know a lot of you may have indulged last week, and possibly even OVER-indulged! But that doesn't mean you can't get right back on track because as I have said before...Every day is a new day and every meal is a new meal!
Here are some things you need to do this week:
1) PLAN. Plan your meals - and I don't mean you have to get out a calendar and write out every recipe you are going to make for the week. That is great, but if you don't have time, then simply think through your family's schedule while you are driving to work or school and determine which meals you can fix to best accommodate everyone's agenda. Think about yourself - what snacks do you need to throw together the night before or what do you need to prep?
2) EAT CLEAN. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to eat treats this month. So be intentional about what you are eating the rest of the time. Go for fresh and colorful foods!
3) DON'T SKIP MEALS. You will be busy this week - it's the nature of the beast right now. Maybe you are trying to get your home decorated and you still have a lot to do. Or perhaps you are still trying to get your Christmas shopping done. It might be really easy to skip a snack or lunch because you just don't want to stop working or shopping! This is a BAD IDEA and will set you up for a rough evening...you'll not only be hungry and end up eating whatever is in sight, you might get a headache or be extremely crabby :).
4) DRINK WATER. Don't get dehydrated! It's more difficult in the winter to drink water because it's cold out. Start out right by sipping on a bottle of water while you get ready for the day. Drink hot water with lemon. Just keep the fluids going!
5) WORKOUT. You may think you are too busy for that workout but you aren't! Just 30 minutes a day will make a difference in your energy level, as well as in how you look and feel overall. And think of all the extra water you'll drink because you are sweaty and thirsty!
If you have other tips that might help someone else out, be sure to post them here!
