How to get Back “On Track” After an off Day or Weekend (Holiday/Weekend Getaway/Event/Etc)

Considerations and Recommendations:

  • Don’t under eat day(s) following​
  • Look back in food logs for recipes/food that excite you to get back on track
  • Just like you can’t out-exercise a bad diet, you can’t “fix” a “bad” day or weekend of eating with simply under eating the next few days
  • Hydrate! Make sure to continue with your water intake routine
  • Move YO body!
  • Listen to your body –if you aren’t ready to jump back into your regular routine start with something simple –low/moderate continuous movement. Just sweat — you’ll feel better!
  • Don’t punish yourself with more work, use the extra food to help fuel your session.
  • Sleep –  If your sleep routine got off track, make it a priority to get it back on track – quality sleep is important for ANY goal you have whether it’s losing weight or performance.
  • Connect With Your Accountability Partner – Whether it’s your coach or a friend –catch up with them and discuss any concerns, triumphs, goals for next time, etc.
  • Connecting with a friend can help you get back “down to earth” and mentally help you to get focused back on how to move forward
  • Reflect
  • Did you enjoy yourself during this time off? Did you feel in control? What worked, what didn’t?
  • If there was something that you didn’t feel good about, what could we change in the future to help prevent it from happening again or how could we improve.
  • MOVE FORWARD. Remember that one day/one week/etc is NOT going to completely derail your progress.
