Post-Thanksgiving Mini Reset

Post-Thanksgiving Mini Reset

Thanksgiving may have left you feeling a little too much like the stuffed turkey centerpiece.

If you’re ready to shake off the sluggishness before more holiday celebrating, a mini reset can help you recharge, rebalance, and feel like yourself again in just a few days.

Join me as we do just a little bit more of the following… (even if you don’t do it all, do what you can) …for at least 3 days. You may get into a habit that lasts even longer.

1. Pack Your Plate with Fruits and Veggies

After a Thanksgiving filled with rich dishes, it’s time to focus on the natural goodness of fruits and vegetables. These nutrient powerhouses are packed with fiber to aid digestion and vitamins to boost energy. Start your day with a colorful smoothie or load your lunch and dinner plates with vibrant salads, steamed greens, and roasted veggies.

2. Prioritize Lean Protein

Protein helps repair and rebuild your body while keeping you satisfied. Lean sources like chicken breast, fish, eggs, tofu, or beans can keep you full without weighing you down. Try a veggie-packed stir-fry with grilled chicken or a hearty lentil soup.

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Water is essential for flushing out toxins, improving blood flow and aiding in digestion. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day and more, depending on your size, activity level, metabolism, climate.

4. Pause the Treats and Alcohol

Taking a short break from sweets and alcohol can help stabilize blood sugar levels and curb cravings. Replace sugary drinks with herbal teas or sparkling water infused with fresh fruit for a festive touch.

5. Move Your Body

A little movement goes a long way in beating that post-Thanksgiving bloat. A brisk walk, strength training class, or even a fun Zumba workout can boost circulation and energize your day.

6. Rest and Rejuvenate

Quality sleep is key to feeling your best. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to restore your body and mind.

This mini reset is all about giving your body the care it deserves.

Give it a try. Chances are you’ll feel refreshed, re-energized, and ready to enjoy the rest of the holiday season with a renewed sense of balance.

And once you’re back on track, it’s time to do some baking.

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies. Save the Date!

Mark your calendar and plan to join the fun on Tuesday, December 17th at 5:00pm central (that’s 6pm eastern) for The Amazing Cookie Bake with Health Coach Carol on Zoom. 

Note: feel free to join our Zoom anytime between 5 and 5:30 to start baking.

Here’s how it works. Decide what cookie you’d like to bake and gather your ingredients prior to that day. Let me know via email that you’d like to join me and the other cookie bakers, and I’ll send you the special Zoom link earlier that day. We connect, meet other “bakers” from all around the country, and start baking. Coaching tips may even come into the conversation. We share laughs and the types of cookies we’re making. At the end of our time together, we get to eat our own cookies and maybe share recipes.

Hope you can join me!

Much love,
Health Coach Carol
