Cure For The Winter Blahs

I know that in living in Florida (and spending my weekend on the boat soaking in vitamin D) I really shouldn’t be experiencing any winter blues, and it’s true I don’t as much as I did in Minnesota. But, with the holidays, I ate anything and everything, and rarely exercised. This has taken a profound toll on my energy, health and tightness of my skinny jeans. This is why I’ve put together a fool proof plan for getting rid of the winter blahs:

Rules:

  • Stick to the immunity-boosting, healthy, around 1,500 calorie a day meal plan I created with the help of Clean Eating Magazine
  • Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day
  • Drink a mug of green tea every morning
  • Running today and Sunday
  • Yoga on Tuesday and Thursday
  • Quickie circuit training Wednesday and Friday (100 jumping jacks, 20 crunches, 20 squats, 10 push ups, 25 chair dips, 60 second wall sit, 60 second plank)

What I’m eating today:

-Breakfast: Mango Smoothie (with flaxseed, tofu, orange juice and organic milk)

-Lunch: Chicken Sandwich (piece Udi’s GF bread, chicken breast, goat cheese, arugala, mustard), sliced red bell pepper, mustard dip (mustard, greek yogurt, dash of onion powder and garlic salt)

-Snack: Banana and rice cakes with almond butter

-Dinner: Sirloin meatloaf, green beans and roasted potatoes
