December 26th...the day to work off the turkey and gravy by hitting the mall with a vengeance! I have fond memories growing up of taking money I had been given at Christmas and going to buy new clothes at the after Christmas sales.Are you headed for the mall today? Or maybe Target or Wal-mart?
Here are a few tips to help make your shopping a little healthier:
1. Bring a bottle of water with you. You want to stay hydrated and that will also help you feel fuller and keep you from buying a soda or coffee while you're out.
2. Put a protein bar in your purse or another satisfying snack. You'll probably get hungry while you're out and you don't want to be standing in front of Cinnabon when that hunger hits!
3. Walk, walk, walk! If the weather permits, park far away from the store so you have to get a few extra steps in.
4. If you have to wait in a long line to check out, don't just stand still. Go up on your tiptoes a few times, and tap your toes while you wait in line.
May the remembrance of yesterday's activities warm your heart today and know that God has wonderful plans for you today and in the New Year!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
