Maybe you over indulged during the holiday weekend, you’re feeling less than stellar, and you need to get back on track.
It doesnโt have to mean your health goals and your progress is over.
What matters is that you get yourself right back into a healthy pattern right away. Need a jumpstart?
Donโt beat yourself up, that just makes you feel worse. Instead, accept what happened and focus on how you want to feel moving forward.
You can get back on track today with these 5 Simple Steps;

Throw in a big squeeze of lemon to each glass. Drinking water first thing in the morning will help you wake up, and reduce inflammation. Keep a water bottle with you wherever you go so you can stay hydrated throughout the day. I love adding slices of citrus fruits and herbs like mint, basil or rosemary to my water!

Movement will instantly brighten your mood. What type of movement you choose will largely depend on your mobility and flexibility. Thereโs no need to push yourself beyond whatโs comfortable for you. Find an activity that feels good and brings you joy. Weโre always much more likely to stick to habits that actually feel good for us to do.

You can eat lighter the next couple days, but donโt try to โmake up for the weekendโ or punish yourself for your choices. Just get back on track with your eating goals and get yourself meal prepped for the coming week. Starving yourself just leads to more overindulgence.

Your body is working hard to recover! As we sleep our organs have a chance to rest, and our digestion gets a break. This allows our body to kick into fat-burning mode. Itโs proven that we lose more weight when we sleep well โ so even if youโre doing all the right things, youโre likely to lose less if you stay up too late or eat right before you crash for the night.

Learn to wake up each day, refreshed (regardless of the previous daysโ struggles) โ and move forward with positive intention. Self-love is going to carry you through this journey.
Allow yourself permission to be human.
No one is perfect.
Including you.
…so go easy on yourself.
We all slip up and itโs useless to shame or blame yourself for doing so.
Just get right back up and keep doing what is best for your body. Eat nutritious food, stay hydrated, get good rest, and speak words of life over yourself today, friends
