How to Prepare Pre Holiday and go into the holiday with a healthy mind
First off I want to say happy holiday and I'm glad you want to learn more about how to stay on track , plus going into the holiday without getting side tracked especially when we don't know where our next 6 meals are going to be. First and foremost we know the next 3 treacherous days are going to be majorly overwhelming with cooking, kids home and just not having a minute to spare to sit down for a meal or EVEN binge while we cook or pick on our kids meals. Being a working mom, schools out , errands are piling up , your son just bumped his head on the counter I totally get it. We are going to stress , stress , stress! Have no fear !
Here is a quick way to prep this weeks timeline with ease. First and foremost to go into a healthy week with a healthy mindset we must first clear our minds. Take an hour , 10 minutes , 30 minutes to yourself so we can collect our minds and be able to deal with our little rascals CALMLY .
Before doing so try a bubble bath, breathing for a minute calmly with your eyes closed inhaling and exhaling . I can't believe I am saying this the ADHD type person who can't breath for a minute. On Saturdays I make sure to get in my sleep ,relax and do some things to distract myself like cleaning out a closet, reading a book, reading a hot workout magazine and just slouching on the sofa with the kids.
Here are some easy tips to get through each meal. The only way to get through it is to be prepared even if it means get a salad from outside with a protein for lunches or even a protein shake or the FF bar just do NOT skip a meal or your water!!!!!!
