Have a fun Thanksgiving?

Enjoy all the foods you get once a year and extra drinking with family and friends. I had a great weekend and thought I rebounded pretty well from the Thanksgiving Day feast but then the weekend went on with family in town and get-togthers with friends and I think the food and drinks finally did me in!

Luckily a boot camp workout, couple of Turbo Kick classes and a run or two helped along the way but I am still feeling it form the overindulgence!

Now what to do??

Time to get back on track and do a little extra to maintain this season.

Here is my usual game plan after a big holiday:

*Plan out my week of meals.

*Get to the grocery store so I am ready.

*Add in a little Body Cleanse to help my body out.

*Up the exercise.

Here’s a sample of a week to help you get back on track:

Breakfasts are always the same for me; plain oatmeal with chia seeds.

Snacks will consist of protein shakes and fruit.

Lunch on the menu this week is a California Hummus Sandwich (from the WCBC 4-week meal plan):

Whole grain bread (I use light bread, 40 calories)

Hummus

Baby Spinach leaves

Cucumber or tomato slices

Avocado slices.

Spread a little hummus on the bread; add the rest to make a sandwich.

Dinners: Fish & veggies

Bratwurst Bake: Turkey Brat baked with red onion, apple and butternut squash and caraway seeds.

Baked Chicken and sweet potato

Soup

Pesto, arugula & chicken pizza (WCBC meal plan).

With a healthy menu in place I’m going to add in 7 days of Arbonne’s essential 7-Day Body Cleanse.
This is a concentrated drink I’ll mix with water to help my body get rid of all the stuff I crammed it with this weekend. It will eliminate toxins, support antioxidant activity, liver and GI health as it cleanses.
I’ll also have a detox tea in the evening.

Not every cleanse or detox means you have to go all liquid. I certainly can’t do one of those detoxes for very long. It’s good to get the diet back on track and add in something to support the system, a little extra help.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and you’re all ready to get back on track and healthy today!

Happy Holidays
