As fantastic as that experience was, it can take a bit out of you from a health perspective. From the increased self-induced stress of wanting to represent Christ as best as humanly possible to the celebratory, exhaustion-induced decision to have an extra dessert, my body was DONE by 7:30pm, Sunday night.
All is not lost, though. I made a plan to get my body back on track before an exception turns into the norm:
- I went to bed EARLY. I knew I wanted to get my Beachbody on Demand - TurboFire workout in on Monday morning as well as an added PiYo workout on Monday evening, and the first step to making it happen was to get adequate rest.
- I prepared all of my food for the work day including a nice egg and veggie (zucchini and red pepper) scramble for breakfast (with half a slice of leftover ham); Shakeology for lunch; and blackberries and kiwi for my snack. For dinner I'll have grilled chicken and veggies.
- Water is a struggle for me, but I'll be upping my normal water intake as well today, as well as adding a little lemon essential oil to add in flushing our my system.
- Finally, I'll be sure to get my devotion time in with Bean (Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions For Kids
). Even though it's geared towards children I always find that the message applies to my busy mom life.
I know these tips will help me get back to normal and I hope that they'll benefit you as well!
Just in case you haven't worked out yet, here's a little post-Easter diddy I put together. Give it a shot...
