Detox from Halloween and Stress Eating

If you have spent the weekend eating all your kids junk from Halloween, along with stress eating with the upcoming election. This protein shake is a great way to start your day off right tomorrow. Or my other favorite protein shake. No matter how you are feeling right now, if you have already voted make a plan to take care of yourself tomorrow. In the case that the candidate you voted for doesn’t win make plans to do something that will lift your spirit and help you to feel good about life. If the candidate you voted for wins don’t be a poor winner and make sure you celebrate, but still be kind and show love to those who may not be having a good day today! And no matter how the election goes remember that its not the end of the world and they happen every four years! I want to leave you with a scripture I love especially right now “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 There is always peace in Christ no matter what life may throw our way. May you still see that love and hope every day through Christ in your life.
