While sitting here in class, I decided to become productive and let my thoughts flow onto my blog. I have been preparing myself for the Thanksgiving feast! Lol...well not really but I have been telling myself "Akia your NOT gonna feel the way you felt last year after the holidays"!!! Which was needless to say horrible. So my first step in preparation was to begin my yearly colon cleanse. Last year I actually used Dr. Natura's Colonix system which worked great! I felt amazing afterwards...but due to a sistas budget I went for a less expense formula this time around, Organic Bowel Cleanse by Renew Life. So far its been pretty good. The taste is almost similar to that of spiced oatmeal. Also the formula is free of pysllium, senna, and cascara sagrada so you don't have to worry about that gas/bloat feeling and intense urge to go. But anyways I'm not here to run my mouth on colon cleansers lol, but I will provide the websites to each system below if your interested in more information. Back to my original thought, with the Thanksgiving holiday approaching the aroma of sweet potato pie, and warm homemade mac and cheese just cloud my mind. Although the thought your body may have about these rich, high calorie, low nutrients foods is a bit different. The one thing we all fall victim to around the holidays is overindulging!!!! So our goal this holiday season is to keep the peace within our bodies. Lets check out some tips that will help you stay on the path of clean eating and balanced bodies.
TIPS
* If your not on a daily regimen with a balance diet start replacing those cheese crackers with a piece of fruit, or a side of fries with a garden salad. Its all about healthier choices....so make the choice and start TODAY!!!!
* To compensate for the possible consumption of high-calorie foods increase your exercise over the holidays. Take a walk around your neighborhood before or after your holiday dinner. Grab a in-law or visiting family member so you two can catch up!
*When you know your going to dinner or possibly a party, stick to your small meals every 2-3 hours. Don't try and save yourself for the table because this always ends in disaster!!! Control your blood sugar and avoid the ITUS!
* Indulge in one dessert and one dessert only! Don't turn your plate into a sampler of sweets, which I tend to always do lol!!!!
So lets not wait until the first of the year to begin our quest to better health...just start now! If you are looking for examples of possible meal plans to follow next time your in your local grocery store or book store grab a copy of "Clean Eating" magazine. I live for this magazine! I still have each copy sense the day they first came on deck. This can really help you understand the whole concept of clean eating along with learning really delicious recipes. And for my Twitters out there a great way to record your daily calorie intake is to "tweet what you eat" atFollow me www.tweetwhatyoueat.com/diary/kiakassie
Happy Thanksgiving and be blessed!
