Over the next few weeks, I'm going to give out some details for what I'm doing to kick the weight I put on from the holidays. It's all going to be simple stuff that should get me (and you, if you do the same) back on track!
Step 1: Detox
It's the day after Christmas, and I woke up this morning to a home that looked like it had been used for a holiday frat party. Unfortunately, this frat party lasted way too long. There is wrapping paper all over my house, toys scattered from one end to the other, and my son and two cats are having the best time ever. Under every pile of crap, there is some new adventure just waiting to happen!
Worst of all, there is a pile of food on my kitchen table and more of it stocked in the pantry that any sensible paleo dieter would go green in the face just looking at.
The first step in getting rid of my holiday fatty fun is detoxifying my body. The protein powder is coming out of the pantry and the vitamin organizers are getting filled up again. Aside from delicious coffee with a little cream and sugar, and an emergency no-carb-no-sugar energy drink, my intakes of choice are going to be protein shakes and water for the next three days. This will get my body back into requiring only the things it needs to stay healthy.
This is a good time to do a holiday purge. Candy canes, fruit cakes (if anybody actually even gets those anymore), pastries, and other sugary carb-loaded foods need to go!
