So are you ready to get back into some structure after the holiday break! I AM! As much as I really enjoyed time off with my family, it is time to get back on track. I have been incredibly lazy and haven't been cooking the usual meals, mostly waiting to last minute because I could ... not too many time constraints which is so unbelievably weird for us. I have learned I don't function well unless I have to ... know what I mean? So, as nice as it's been, I am ready to refocus on wellness and balance in the new year.
I am not one of those health nuts who doesn't enjoy Christmas cookies, traditional foods, like mashed potatoes, pierogies (been eating them since my gram made them every Christmas Eve), Swedish mulled wine (glogg), Prosecco at New Year's, and all the other desserts and apps made by my creative friends this season! Enjoyed every single one of them! Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Enjoy the good stuff?
I do have some ideas for new foods to pass on as I know many of you are going through that "cleanse" mentality. I personally don't cleanse. If that works for you, more power to you, however my physical make up just doesn't dig it. So, my alternative to traditional "cleansing" is to pull back the things that have taken me a bit off my center.
- Water ... make sure to get in enough to keep hydrated especially when it is cold out and we dehydrate easily.
- Sleep ... getting back on regular bedtimes and wake up times ... especially the kids!
- Cut the refined carbs ... just get the remaining cookies and candies out of the house!
- Make sure my green drink is fully loaded with lots of greens, protein and chia seeds.
- Serve as many colors to my family as possible ... rainbow of fruits and veggies.
- Move in moderation! Even if it is just a quick walk around the block! Get the muscles moving for more energy!

This is what I do when I'm not running around ...
Take some time for you today!
