Here are some great suggestions for food/drink to get rid of your holiday bulge.

1. Lots of WATER- stay hydrated & flush toxins
2. Water based fruits & veggies- ex: celery, cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe, kale, & spinach.
3. Spices! --my favorite are Rosemary & Turmeric
4. Yogurt & Oatmeal
5. NO ALCOHOL
6. Need a snack? Try some almonds or a boiled egg!

Stick with lean meats & limit your fat intake as well.

Run/jog- 2-3 miles
4 sets of 20
-Run up & back down a hill or elevated surface
-sprint 30 feet down & back
-30 lunges (alternating legs)
-30 squats
-20 standing leg lifts (alternating legs)
-20 crunches
Rest 2 minutes, next round
Cool down/stretch

Enjoy the burn!!

I am not into depriving yourself of anything, all in moderation. But sometimes we can overdue ourselves & feel YUCK the next day (or week). Challenge yourself to this workout every other day until you get back to feeling yourself again. Then you can continue this workout 1-2x per week along with your healthy eating & other workouts.

Hope you all have a wonderful week this week!
