Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I know today can be scary if you are on your health journey but Im here to tell you that it is okay to indulge with all the yummy food. This one day will not mess up your progress. I actually wanted to highlight some of the positives of all these extra calories.
Turkey = protein and protein = feeding the muscles and making them strong 💪🏽
Rolls, Mac & cheese, mash potatoes, etc = carbs and carbs = energy ⚡️
So use all this extra fuel and get in a killer workout on Friday! Maybe even pick up a little heavier of a weight and challenge yourself.
I also want to give a few tips I've done in the past to avoid getting that "stuffed" feeling.
1. Eat a little slower and take a small break before getting seconds (or thirds) and same with before dessert. 😋
2. Take an after dinner walk, maybe 20-30 min. You'd be surprised at how much this helps with digestion. 🚶🏽♀️
3. Take a pre/probiotic or a digestive enzyme before dinner to help keep things flowing. 💩
Lastly, don't worry too much about what's on your plate and enjoy the time you get to spend with your loved one's ❤️🧡💛🤎
