Holiday Detox
The holidays are over and I feel like a stuffed turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Like so many others, our holidays revolve around fantastic food. We have the most decadent meals that we only make once a year, so no indulgence is spared.
Kevin is our gourmet chef around here and he makes the most delicious lobster bisque on Christmas Eve. We also have lobster tails with lemon butter and of course the best kind of crusty bread we can find. Then on Christmas he roasts Prime Rib and makes all the fattening sides to go along with it. At some point before Christmas, I make my traditional indian dinner of Lamb Korma and a buttery, aromatic rice and naan. Then there’s desserts: Cheesecake, Tres Leches cake and custard. On Christmas morning we have French Toast and eggs benedict.
Thank goodness Santa got to his cookies before I did!
All this food makes for days and days of leftovers and late night snacking. And as if that wasn’t enough, we have tons of treats and goodies that only make their appearance during the holidays: hot chocolate, peppermint bark, chocolate truffles, egg nog and SO much more. TOO much more.
Ugh. I have a stomach ache.
After all of this indulging and overeating, I am ready for a major cleanse! I feel the need to go on a juice fast or something dramatic! I feel burdened with extra holiday pounds and am looking forward to eating nothing but salads to detox my poor digestive system. The trauma I’ve put it through!
Did you over-do it like I did for the holidays? How do you plan to “detox”?
