You had a great January! Go you! You kept to your New Year’s Resolutions and made it thru “Dry January”! Now, it’s the first weekend in February and how do you feel today, post Super Bowl Sunday? Do you plan to call in sick today because you overdid it last nite? Wait, before you hit the snooze button, read my tips for how you can get yourself to feel better! And just know, you are not alone!
Get up and out of bed! Start by getting some movement into your morning—even better if you can do so outdoors. You don’t necessarily need to go for your normal run, either. Even a brisk, 20-minute walk around your neighborhood can do the trick. The activity and natural light will get you back to feeling more refreshed than an extra hour of snoozing ever could!
Get rid of the bloat. Chances are you ate and drank way more than you planned. And, I am sure if you are feeling this way, chances are you are in need of some hydration! Drink water! And plenty of it! Some suggestions are to detox with citrus and cucumbers or add electrolytes to your water or a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt.
Eat healthy today (and every day for that matter!). I know you may feel the need for a bacon/egg/cheese on a roll kind of morning as your hangover cure. But trust me, go for scrambled or poached eggs with avocado on dry toast or non-fat greek yogurt with mixed berries and a small amount of lowfat granola (I know someone who makes a killer granola!). The protein, carb and fat will cure what ailes you!
