Did you go a little overboard this weekend on the goodies? It happens! I'm imagining today you're definitely feeling off your game... bloated... fatigued... and just down right crappy! Well, I'm here to help get you back on track and ready to hit this week with a fresh start!

Immediately after waking, have a warm/hot glass of water with 1 TBS lemon juice. To add a little punch and really get your system alive and kickin', add 1 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

This is the most important meal and what will keep you energized and ready to take on the day, so with breakfast we do not want to skimp out or avoid completely!
