Even if you
had a fabulous Christmas of healthy eating choices, the amount of food consumed
was probably more than usual on any other given day. It’s just bound to happen
with the joy of being with family and friends sharing a meal together. Even if
you made all sugar free, natural sweetened treats for this day and enjoyed just
a few, a cookie is still a cookie and those very healthy cookies may be staring
at you today calling your name.
Today is
all about refreshing your body by eating healthy, fresh, but much lighter. You
can do this just today or continue until New Years if you like. Make sure to
get in about 30-60 minutes of sweating. Exercise is a great way to release the
body of toxins and provides a wonderful energy boost, stress relief and makes
you in a better mood releasing happy hormones called endorphins.
Here is my example of healthy menu after Christmas:
