DON'T DEPRIVE YOURSELF BUT SET A LIMIT
investing and enjoying a chocolate egg or chocolate bunny is fine! Completely avoiding all chocolate may bite you in the backside at some stage. A good goal is to set a limit or simply have an enjoy your ideal chocolate and avoid any more.
PLAN YOUR EXERCISE
exercise will only make everything feel better. Planning a fun session with a friend or the family means you’re less likely to hit the snooze button and roll over! Go for a walk or run with a friend or get active with the whole family by kicking a footy in the backyard or park.
EAT DARK CHOCOLATE
The darker the chocolate, the lesser the sugar and all the more antioxidants. The higher the percentage of cocoa, the less likely you are to over-indulge due to the less-sweet taste and the more serotonin you will receive, aka the happy hormone.
Happy Easter!
