5 Ways To Kick Off A Healthy Month

When I got back from the holidays earlier this month, let’s just say I was not feeling my best. From the heavy food to barely working out to long car and plane rides, my body was in need of a major reset. Now a few weeks in and getting back into my normal routine, I’m sharing the five things I focus on when in need of a health kick reset.

1. Do a detox: The quickest way for me to start feeling better is to cut out carbs, dairy and sugars from my diet. Tone It Up has an amazing 5 day detox free program that I used to help with recipes and it was such an easy way to figure out what I should and shouldn’t eat.
2. Increase my workouts: Getting back into my regular workout routine is key when I get back from a trip. However, to really kick things up, I aim to workout 6 days a week instead of my normal 4-5. The routine that works best for me is alternating between doing BBG workouts in the gym and then the other days, cardio focused workout classes like spin or boot camp.
3. Drink water: I’m always so bad about drinking water when on vacation so I always make sure to kick up my water intake once I get back. I use this ban.do cup at work to keep refilling throughout the day to make sure I’m constantly drinking water throughout the day. Not only does my skin look better, I also fill fuller too throughout the day.
4. Try new recipes: With the cold temps outside, I try to cook more healthy recipes at home during January. Some of my favorites I’ve tried recently are this Golden Soup from Half-Baked Harvest and these Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tostadas from Goop. When I do go out though, I try to head to some of these healthy favorites around the city.
5. Buy new workout pieces: The best motivator is cute new workout clothes right?! As always, Old Navy is my go-to for all my workout pieces. Not only do they come in so many fun patterns, colors and styles, they truly last wash after wash. If you don’t own a pair of their leggings, whether for spin or just running errands on the weekend, buy them now! Seriously the most flattering leggings I’ve ever owned, don’t fall down and under $40: doesn’t get better than that!
