It happens… we go on vacation, with all good intentions of eating our normal healthy way and then… you see the menu, the food is beyond amazing, you don’t have things like this back home, just one more bite, I’ll just try a little, and then you’re stuffed. Repeat. Repeat.
Thankfully in Vegas I did a ton of walking, so I didn’t gain weight, but coming home I still feel blah. Ya know when you’ve had a sugar overload and your body is blah? Thats how I feel. Its like a Food Hangover. So what do you eat to recover from it? Because, you have to eat. Skipping meals is very unhealthy and I personally think it jacks with your body way more. I went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up some of these items…
- Fresh Spinach
- Bananas
- Greek Yogurt
- Whole Grain Cereal
- Frozen Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas, and Raspberries
- Agave Nectar
- Almond Milk (oh yes, there will be smoothies in my future!)
- Avocados
- Salsa (love adding this into my Salads)
- Tomatos
- Asparagus
- White Eggs (Love egg white omelettes)
- Just to name a few….
Of course for Hubs I picked up Fish and Chicken for his protein. While in Vegas and trying to find something healthy for breakfast I discovered this juice sold at Starbucks…
This green machine looks weird… but tastes fantastic. I had it a few times there and when I was at the grocery store I knew I wanted to pick a couple of them up. At first I was sad that the store didn’t have it… but then I looked down at the bigger sizes and BAM! there it was. YEA! See Hubs and I are wanting to start making our own green drinks, we’re in the market for a Vitamix (know of any good deals?). I was glad to add this juice to our grocery list as a way to get passed the Food Hangover.
There’s something about having fresh vegetables and fruits in your life that make you feel brand new (plus adding in some exercise is even better). I’m already feeling good again.
What do you do to get passed the post-vacation food hangover?
Who’s saying what?
