How are you surviving the holiday season?

Posted on December 5, 2017December 12, 2017 by Indrani

So, I just finished a half hour workout video. Well, actually I finished a little while ago. I let myself feel like I was going to die for a few minutes, drank a lot of water, and cooled off. And now I actually feel pretty good. It’s holiday season and not only do we all get busy and have a hard time making exercise a priority, it’s also really easy to over indulge in all of the holiday food and drinks! I’ve already been very guilty of this not starting with Thanksgiving but beginning with Halloween.  I’ve been eating candy, desserts, and cheese. Today I am going to my very first cookie exchange. Seriously I have a monstrous sweet tooth. I will choose dessert over wine any day of the week. Help me!

What do we do to keep ourselves in check during the holiday season? I am writing this as an accountability thing. Here are two things I would like to do.  First, I need to get back into food journaling.  And second, I want to exercise at least four days a week.  Please check in with me and ask me what I have been putting in my mouth and if I have been consistent with my workouts. I’m not saying I’m not going to enjoy holiday festivities at all, but I would like your help to make sure I don’t overdo it. Do you need a holiday survival buddy? I’ll be yours. Just comment or send me a message. We will get through to the end of the year together without needing to make diet and exercise a 2018 resolution.

Finding my way through the love of art, food, family, and friends.

What does monbool mean?  monbool is a word I made up.  Mon (pronounced mōn) was my mother’s childhood nickname and Bool was my father’s childhood nickname.  The passion I have for what I am doing came from them, so I have named this journey in their honor.

I am Indrani, a first generation Indian-American whose parents originally migrated from Kolkata, India.  My passion and inspiration for cooking developed from spending time in the kitchen and learning from my father who would cater for large gatherings.  My mother encouraged all forms of art, including drawing, dance and music.  Growing up with a strong, traditional Indian upbringing, my parents also encouraged participation in the American culture.  And now in my own mixed culture family, the fusion of Indian and American traditions is embraced by my husband and children.
