A kiester-friendly Easter
Focus this Easter weekend on a new, healthier holiday tradition of lighter food and healthier activities.
Instead of the usual baked ham or lamb, how about serving a grilled fish like salmon, snapper, or halibut with a variety of healthy steamed vegetables?
And make this holiday less about the food and more about the fun, traditional activities like coloring eggs, having an Easter egg hunt, or walking in the parade.
Stay away from the candy – especially the yellow marshmallow chicks and family-sized milk chocolate rabbits. (You know, the ones with the teeth marks in them.)
If you’re filling Easter baskets, choose some non-candy items, like colorful t-shirts or tank tops, socks, a CD, lip balm or lip gloss, toy cars, small dolls, a stuffed animal, books, jewelry, new toothbrush, seed packets, etc. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, and you can find things for all ages.

Wow! Really wish I would have been online before Easter and had learned all of these wonderful ideas for this years Easter, that we just had. I esp. love the last one “stay away from candy”… oh, did I say I had way too much candy this year?
But you know what? I think most of that candy junk was what motivated me to get rid of this weight again. So I guess it all worked out. And next Easter . . . will be GREAT!!
Thank you for this tremendous suggestion.
