Isabel Damage Control Tips

Monday, May 19, 2014

Isabel De Los Rios SAYS:
Do you think I never “fall off the wagon”? 

  …Like the brownies at the neighbors party... holding me hostage in one corner of the room, rendering me completely helpless with no emergency organic carrots in sight.

Yes, yes, that was me…..


I get this email from clients all the time, “Isabel, I totally blew it on my diet last night. Now what do I do?” Yup, I’ve been there: bloated, disappointed, and feeling a bit defeated.

The trick here is getting away from this downward spiral ASAP. You’ve got to get right back on the wagon right where you fell off and for most of us that’s just 1-2 healthy meals away.

Here are my “Isabel Damage Control Tips”.  

They will get you back on track and feeling back to your normal (or not so normal) healthy self faster than you can say “brownie”.

1. Eliminate wheat and dairy for 2-3 days after the “incident”.  

I know what you’re thinking….”What does this girl have against wheat and dairy?” Well for starters they are the 2 most inflammatory foods that cause bloating in most people. Not to mention when people overeat, it is usually on wheat and dairy foods: cookies, cakes, ice-cream, pasta, bread. Ever heard of anyone overdosing on brown rice? Or poultry? Doesn’t really happen. If it has wheat or dairy, just eliminate it from your meal plan until you are back on track with your healthy eating and rid of the “after party bloat”.

2. Drink tons of water!  

Of course, this rule is applicable all the time, but after a “binge” water is even more important. I also like to add a few squeezes of fresh lemon in my water for the “detoxifying” effects. Fresh lemon helps to cleanse the liver and a squeaky clean liver will assist in your weight loss efforts.

3. Add in some extra walking. 

If I’ve packed in one too many calories, I get my body moving even more. Just adding in an extra 20 minutes of walking for the next few days gets me feeling back on track. I have even taken a trip to the mall just to do laps around the place. I get to people watch, see what’s on sale, and burn calories all at the same time.

Just in case it was you being held hostage by the brownies at last night’s party, have no fear. You’re new mantra is …”Ain’t no silly brownies taking me down.”

In health and happiness,

Marcia:  Well -- I got that e-mail just in time. 

I ate completely on track today. Have been losing weight a little bit every day.  Went for a swim today. My swim buddy seems to be making a lot of appointments during the time we swim so Ive been going on my own the last couple of times. 

Last week I was sick with the cold that was going around but this time I only used steam to relieve my sinuses and my body seemed to like that treatment the best. I have a Vicks vaporizer in my bedroom but I dont like to leave it on all night because it tends to make the air too humid (to the point of making condensation on the kitchen windows.) So what I do is have it hooked up to a surge protector that has an on/off switch. It comes up to steam pretty fast, so on my way into the bathroom I turn it on, and by the time Im done in there it is putting out a good bit of steam. I hover over it, breathing in the moist air until my sinuses get moisturized and relaxed and my chest loosens up. This might occur from two to three times during the night and it is better than any OTC or even prescription drug I have ever tried. 

I vowed not to take any more antibiotics unless I am at deaths door and there is no way around it. The last couple of times I took them they attacked my tendons and Im not interested in doing that again. My left knee feels mostly healed but from time to time I get a twinge that reminds me I need to be caul with it for at least six months while it continues to heal.

Im sure that the prayers that were said for me by my friends at church is what has healed me.  The Lord is continuously good.

I noticed I was going through the withdrawals today. I kept getting hungry so I kept eating portions of raw veggies and protein. Right now I feel completely full and satisfied. The raw veggies and protein eaten over a period of time, really do take care of the cravings. I feel as though Ive gotten back on line again. 

It is always one day at a time. One meal at a time. One mouthful at a time.

Hope all is well with you,

Be back soon,

Marcia
