Post Christmas, many of us are on a mission to get fit, lose a few pounds or work towards the body we want for Summer.
This is often coupled with the dilemma of boxes / tins / fridges / cupboards filled with tasty delights that excite our taste buds and cause our waistlines and cellulite despair.
So I want you to think strong and hard about what you want, and why you are keeping the treats. A fridge filled with celery, salad, soups and homecooked stews will nourish you - the seasonal mass produced sugar rich goodies will deplete you.
If you have good self control, and enjoy making the treats last, then by all means keep them, but if they call to you in the night, and you find yourself eating them without thought, give yourself permission to put them in the bin or pass them on to someone who will appreciate them. With the foods you do not want out of the way, you are more likely to reach for nourishing options (and of course, you will have room for them too).
With your cupboards now spacious and stocked with nourishment, I am going to ask you to look at what you are drinking. Hydration is really important to flush toxins and help you feel bright.
To help you keep hydrated, aim to reduce caffeinated drinks (so energy drinks, coffee, tea etc) and switch to herbal teas and water. If you do not enjoy cold water in the winter, look to have hot water with a slice of lemon and ginger, or perhaps a dried hibiscus flower. Of course, if you find this difficult, aim to transition, switching out one drink at a time. It is better to do a little than nothing at all.
Your body will thank you for it.
