Can you believe we're almost there? Week 10 — and you are doing it! You're living healthy and managing the holidays like a pro! And if you feel like you could be doing better, start now! Pick one more healthy thing to add to your days — no matter how small — and make it happen. You’ve got this!

Hit me up for a free chat (even if you’re not a member) if you need some help motivating or strategizing!

I can feel the pressure building in both work and family life as we end the year and get ready for Christmas and I'm sure you can, too, so keep keeping it simple. You've got this!

Summary of Week 10 objectives:

Nutrition: Veggies with every meal and decrease the sugar AMAP!
Fitness Challenge: 3 long walks or runs this week.
Wellness Challenge: Holiday dance parties

NUTRITION:

Let's get your meal prep done this weekend and keep it as healthy as possible this week when we can! I have some delicious recipes to try out for your dinners and I’d love to hear how you like them.

When we can, let's go as clean and healthy as possible so when the treats start flowing we have no guilt and loads of control.

Let’s challenge ourselves to see how many veggies we can get into our diets this week by getting veggies with every meal and ditching sugar whenever we can!

Here are some quick and easy meal ideas:

Breakfast:

Try some yummy scrambles with bell peppers, spinach, feta or parmesan, basil, tomatoes and green onions - use one or all of those for an extra delish and nutrish meal, or a hearty gained avocado toast, or a creative Buddha Bowl!

Lunch:

Let’s get down with some salads - if you don’t have time to make your own, Trader Joe’s has what seems like thousands of options for individual salads - you can buy for the whole week! (check the labels, there are some with sneaky high calorie counts! Remember: high in fat = high in calories. So while fat is not bad at all, it will tip the "scale" of your calorie intake quite easily!). If you want to mix it up, a high protein/fiber wrap filled with hummus and veggies is also an awesome and easy lunch filled with tons of vitamins and minerals!!

Dinner:

Try the recipes below and let us all know what you think in the FB Group! (remember you get an extra entry into the final raffle for posting on your Social Media with #90DaystoSavage and tagging me @savagewellness!)

FITNESS:

This is a 25 minute equipment free workout that will get your heart rate up and get you strong in all the right places! Break it up into smaller chunks or add some HIIT intervals or repeat the ciruits as directed in the video!

Do this workout 1-4x this week or check my YouTube Channel for more videos!

Our Challenge for this week is to get in 3 20+ minute brisk walks or jogs. For this challenge, we’re not breaking it up and sprinkling it in the day. See how many times you can get in a dedicated 20+ minutes of (any) cardio!

Post in the group to stay accountable!

WELLNESS:

It's party time! Dance parties, that is! Throw on some tunes when you're cooking dinner and dance around that kitchen! Or if the kids are melting down and everyone wants to cry, bust a move and turn the mood of the house around! I also love heading to a room alone with some earbuds and dancing it out when I need a shift in my own mood and activity level. Whatever you've got and whatever the reason, try it out EVERY DAY and HAVE FUN! We're going for a minimum of 5 minutes every day. Keep it private or record it and post for the world to see with our hashtag and tag me! Channel that inner Diva!

And since we have new members this week I’ll keep this Survival guide from last week here. Next week I’ve got a healthy (for you and the earth) gift wrapping guide for you:

Holiday Party Survival Guide for Busy Moms!

It’s December, and I don't know about you, but I am already hit with holiday parties galore! Kid parties with tons of cookies and candies, and grown up parties with cocktails like these Jack Frosty Cocktails, that you can't really say no to (Ok, you can, but I don't wanna!).

So as we ramp up the celebrations, I wanted to hit you up with some fun recipe inspirations AND lots of ideas to help you manage the abundance of chaos headed our way.

From traveling (with kids!) to hangover tips and how to get active to fire some extra endorphins and counteract some of these extra fluff you may be taking on!

Hangover Help:

Hangovers happen! But man are they magnified when you have kids around!

•Hydrate during the day AND drink a glass of water for every cocktail you have (see?! Even useful here!). Pregame with some planning and get extra hydrated before you head to the party.

•Eat some greasy food BEFORE you get your drank on - common thought is some grease helps lines the stomach before pickling it (also so you don't hit up taco bell on your way home (I’ve heard that can happen...) or to help kill the hangover in the morning! Once the hangover hits, a less greasy, more carb-y meal with get you going better. Add in nutrients like dark greens, fruits, and protein and you’ll be back on track a lot quicker than with a Sausage McMuffin!

•Know your limits - make a plan before you start partying and try to stick to it! Even if the plan is to really let loose - give yourself a number of drinks you’d like to stick to so you can make your best effort not to overdo it!

•Go herbal (in the morning!) - If you feel bad in the morning, drink some ginger tea and/or grab some CBD (Or THC if you’re comfortable with it!)! Both are incredible anti-nausea remedies!
