Happy day after Thanksgiving. This weekend is all naps, leftovers, and “one more plate” without a clock. This episode gives you a tiny move to reset after the big day so you roll into December energized, plus a preview of what’s coming next month.
What You’ll Learn
- Why the day after a holiday is sneaky: grazing on leftovers, weird sleep, timing gone haywire
- Walk + Water Rule: add a 10‑15 minute walk and a full glass of water after each leftover plate to boost insulin sensitivity and create a pause
- Leftover Lane Call: decide before the first bite whether to front load, split dose or slow roll your bolus for leftovers
- How one mid”meal anchor alarm helps you steer earlier instead of rescuing at bedtime
- A sneak peek at December’s Favorite Things month and the January hype train
Tiny Levers
Choose one lever through Sunday:
- Walk + Water Rule: After every leftover plate, take a short walk and drink a full glass of water.
- Leftover Lane Call: Pre‟decide your bolus strategy for leftovers (front load, split dose or slow roll) and stick to it.
Take Action
Choose your rule for the weekend and finish the prompt “Through Sunday I’m choosing ___, so that ___.” Share it with Neil and get ready for December.
