Vacation's Over...

Well, I've had four days of great food and fine wine - now back to reality!! If you enjoyed your last few days also, here's how to get back in fighting shape: 1) get a good night's sleep; 2) make yourself get up and go work out - nothing like a good sweat to get rid of that sluggish feeling; 3) eat a high-protein breakfast - EGGS! - they will help to keep you alert and energetic; 4) drink LOTS of water - you might have "forgotten" to drink as much water as you normally do and it will help to flush out those extra calories; (5) continue to eat lightly the rest of your day - chicken, salads, fruit - eat regularly so your blood sugar remains stable; don't feel as though you have to starve yourself; it will only make you weak and more likely to slide back into vacation mode; and 6) get another good night's sleep so that you can maintain for a few days while you get back on track. Before you know it, you'll be planning your next vacation - heehee! Melissa
