December Detox Week Challenge

by | Dec 2, 2012 | At Home, Fitness, Tips, Uncategorized | 17 comments

It’s the first week of December and before we know it, Christmas will be here. With holiday parties and get togethers, it’s a time of indulgence.  For me, things have caught up.  I feel puffy and my clothes feel a little tighter.

It’s time to get serious and get things on track before the next few weeks go down hill.

Who is up for a challenge of Detoxing for December?

1 week.

Whole foods.

Water.

Exercise.

Vitamins.

Leave a comment telling me you are up for the challenge.

I will send you an email with a dinner menu plan, grocery list, healthy easy lunch ideas, smoothie recipes and workouts for the week.

We can do it together. Get back on track this week.  Get ready for feeling good for the holidays!

Here are the steps:

1. Whole food green smoothies for breakfast.

2. Do lots of activity.

3. Pick something you love to skip this week.

For me – nut butter.  I’ve been way overdoing it on the dips into the jar 89 times a day.

4. Drink up.  Tons of water.

At least 10 glasses of water a day.  If you can, aim for a gallon.

And try to skip this for the week.  At least during the week 🙂

5. Make dinner.  Try to cook healthy whole foods this week and eat leftovers and salads for lunch.

    I am definitely in! I celebrated my 30th birthday last night and am feeling the effects of overindulging in everything. This will be a great way to start my month!

    I just read this, but I’m in! I’ve been relying on protein shakes after my workout and want to concentrate on getting whole foods in instead! Also limiting the peanut butter!!
