Your 3 Ways to Survive the Holidays!

1) Take a mental inventory of your diet– How are you feeling right now? Do you fit in your clothes comfortably? Feeling tired most of the time? These are good questions to be asking yourself since these are signs of your body being off balance,inflamed and lack of energy.

Exercise: Get a piece of paper and write down what you have eating in your last two meals. Three questions to ask: 1) Did you have at least one vegetable? 2) Did your lunch or a portion of your lunch come out of a package? 3) Are you eating too much?

Based on how you answer these questions, it will give you insight of some changes you can make in your diet. If you are not eating wholes foods in most of your meals,finding a portion of your meal or all of your meal in a package, and/or you are eating too much for what your body can burn, this will clog your body and brain. What you have discovered or have known all along that your diet isn’t working for you, it is time now to implement more whole foods and vegetables. Add this recipe below to support your new commitment.

2) Are you feeling good mentally? Based on how you answered the number 1 tip above will help you move into this 2nd tip… Maybe you are living through your food because of stress and imbalance in your life, maybe a bit of brain fog and clogged body. So find balance in your schedule by looking at what is happening during the week and by keeping a pulse on what fluctuations occur vs what is your static schedule will help you plan better. You can decide what how much you should be eating based on your activity to how much extra sleep you may need to survive the new events that creep up on your calendar through the holidays.  Keeping track of your schedule by using a personal calendar is a great way to keep a pulse on your body’s needs.

3) Move Your Body– Get out and go for a walk on top of your regular workouts. If  you are not working out add yoga to bring calmness to the chaos. You will need this through the holidays. The more balanced you are the increased successful you will have. Also think about the extra calories you are eating during the holidays. YOU NEED TO MOVE!
