For those of us that have had bariatric surgery, this is a reminder to...
- Plan some healthy meals: head over to Pinterest create a board and save some recipes you want to try. Check out my Pinterest Page for some ideas.
- Incorporate some fun movement: Is there a new type of exercise you want to try, find a class. I highly recommend Pound or Yoga. Plan a family hike? Here are 5 Free Exercise Ideas.
- Is it time to get your annual labs done? Make that appointment now. Be sure you requesting a bariatric panel (includes more than regular panel, things like iron, ferritin, and B12)
- How are you doing on Vitamins? Are some running low, order refills. Not loving your vitamins consider ordering a sample pack to try some new flavors, types. Celebrate Vitamins has a great sample pack you can order.
- Find time to do some things YOU love to do. Put "ME TIME" on the calendar. Seriously, make an appointment and treat it like an appointment with a VIP (Very Important Person) because that is what it is!
and self-care doesn't have to be expensive. Here are a few ways I practice self-care:
- Turn up the music and dance. 3-4 songs = 10 minutes. If you do this 3 times in a day you have a 30-minute workout. I love Spotify.
- Catch a sunrise or a sunset (bonus if you can get both in a single day) or spend some time looking at the starry night sky (make some wishes.)
- Research a place you hope to visit one day (or just learn more about.)
- Find a few favorite quotes and write them on pieces of paper. Look at one each morning.
- Drink more water. Add sliced fruit, drink packets or Celebrate Vitamins Essential Multi 3 in 1 Vitamin Sticks.
- Eat a meal outside a few times a week. Fresh air and yummy healthy food is the best combo. I love my Bento Box lunches Check out my Bento Box Pinterest Page.
- Give yourself a DIY Spa Day. I'd love to do the real deal spa weekend but that's not in my budget $$$ so if it's not in yours try this alone or with someone you love.
- Grab a box and fill it with stuff to donate. Free up some space, it's good for others and the environment too.
- Start the day with your favorite song. It's amazing what music can do to your mood.
